National Insurance Board warns about fraudulent renewal texts

The Bahamas · Added 2026-09-20

Its director told ZNS the messages were fraudulent, urged recipients not to provide information and advised affected people to contact their financial institution.

Free facial ended in a $9,897 purchase and a failed refund dispute

Nassau shopping district · Added 2026-09-20

Free facial ended in a $9,897 purchase and a failed refund dispute A couple says a short Nassau shopping stop became hours of sales pressure, alcoholic drinks and almost $10,000 in purchases. They later tried to return the products, but the merchant relied on final-sale terms and their card dispute failed. Consumer Rescue reviewed their documents and found no evidence proving drugging or fraud. It also clarified that the purchase included three expensive devices, not just ordinary creams. The couple remained unhappy, but the article did not substantiate their claimed scam. Source: Consumer Rescue, August 26, 2024, updated July 14, 2025.
