Financial businesses are being warned to be wary of emails from fraudsters posting as employees of the Jersey financial regulator, The Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC).
The regulator urged firms to ignore fraudulent emails from “[email protected]”.
It said the scam messages told firms they were being contacted “regarding a matter identified in an internal review” concerning “their profile and activity”. They then falsely claim businesses “needs to click on a link to access documents”.
A spokesperson for the JFSC said: “If you receive an email like this, do not respond or click on any links or attachments.”
