The Jersey Financial Services Commission published a fraud warning after becoming aware of scammers impersonating the JFSC and Kerry Petulla, its Executive Director of Enforcement, Intelligence and Financial Crime. The emails target businesses with false claims that they are subject to an internal regulatory assessment and that they must confirm contact details for “secure communication”. The Commission said the messages are fraudulent and advised recipients not to respond. It encouraged firms to verify any suspected JFSC communications by using official JFSC channels, checking that emails come from the official @jerseyfsc.org domain, and independently confirming the legitimacy of the message with the JFSC before taking any action.
