In a statement issued this week, RUBiS Energy Bermuda Ltd. urged the island’s residents to remain vigilant after a bogus Facebook advertisement surfaced claiming a free fuel giveaway to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary. The post, which promised complimentary fuel for anyone who entered a contest, was not sanctioned by RUBiS and could lead to financial loss or identity theft.

The company’s spokesperson reminded Bermudian consumers that official promotions will appear only on RUBiS’s verified social media accounts and its website. “We are issuing this warning to protect our community from scams that exploit the excitement surrounding our milestone celebrations,” the spokesperson said. Residents who encounter suspicious offers are advised to verify the source by cross‑checking the post’s link with the company’s official pages or by contacting customer service directly.

Local authorities have also reinforced the message, noting that social media fraud has risen in recent months. The Bermuda Police Service and the Ministry of Communications and Technology are working together to monitor deceptive campaigns and will pursue legal action against those who create or disseminate false advertisements. For now, the safest approach remains to confirm any promotion through the company’s official channels before sharing or providing personal information.

RUBiS, a key player in Bermuda’s energy market, will continue to celebrate its 20-year presence with legitimate community events and official communications. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and report any suspicious posts to the company’s support line.
