Jamaica Cyber Incident Response Team Issues Urgent Warning About Fraudulent Hurricane Melissa Donation Websites
Public Advised to Use Only Official Government Website for Donations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kingston, Jamaica – October 29, 2025 – The Jamaica Cyber Incident Response Team (JaCIRT) is issuing an urgent alert to the public in Jamaica and worldwide regarding the emergence of fraudulent websites attempting to exploit generosity in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.
JaCIRT's monitoring systems have detected multiple suspicious domains currently under development that appear designed to divert hurricane relief donations away from legitimate channels. These malicious actors are creating fake websites with names deliberately similar to Jamaica's official donation portal.
IDENTIFIED FRAUDULENT DOMAINS
The following domains have been identified as suspicious and should NOT be used for donations:
jamaicahurricanehelp.net
jamaicahurricanehelp.org
jamaica-hurricane-help.com
melissareliefjamaica.net
melissareliefjamaica.com
melissareliefjamaica.org
supportjamaicagovjm.com
supportjamaicagovjm.net
All identified sites are currently showing that they are in varying stages of development but JaCIRT suspects that these sites may become active in the coming days.
