The Central Bank of Sri Lanka has learnt that there are scams being perpetrated once again by some unscrupulous persons who claim that they have been authorized to sell gold belonging to the Central Bank.

On that basis, various offers have allegedly been made by such persons to members of the public. Steps will be taken by relevant authorities to trace, identify and take the necessary legal steps to deal with such offenders.

In the meantime, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka once again cautions the general public that they must not be duped by these unscrupulous claims, since the Central Bank is not selling any gold to the public nor has the Central Bank appointed any agents to sell gold on its behalf.
