THE Jersey Financial Services Commission is warning Islanders about a website and email addresses “falsely impersonating” the arms-length organisation.

The JFSC said the website displayed signs “of being set up for fraudulent purposes” and reminded Islanders to only use the JFSC’s official website: jerseyfsc.org

The commission stressed that it “does not offer services to recover money lost to scams and would never request bank details from a member of the public in this regard”.

The JFSC “does not offer services to recover money lost to scams and would never request bank details from a member of the public in this regard”, it said.

The alert comes just over a week after a warning about scammers impersonating investment and trading websites falsely purporting to be regulated by the JFSC.
