Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998, as amended (the "Financial Services Law")
The Jersey Financial Services Commission (the "Commission") issues this public statement under Article 25(d) of the Financial Services Law.
This statement is made in order to warn the public against dealing with unauthorised financial services providers. DirectProperty Inc has not received authorisation to conduct financial services business within the meaning of the Financial Services Law.
It appears to the Commission that DirectProperty Inc, as described on the Website, is falsely purporting to trade from an address of Undercliffe Road, St. Helier, Jersey, JE2 3PR and is carrying on or holding out that it is carrying on financial service business in Jersey when it is not authorised to do so pursuant to the provisions of the Financial Services Law.
The Commission wishes the following to be known:
1. DirectProperty Inc has never been registered, nor applied for registration, under the Financial Services Law. Therefore any financial services business, as defined in Article 2 of the Financial Services Law and carried out by DirectProperty Inc since 21 January 2005, is in breach of Article 7 of the Financial Services Law; and
2. From documentation held by the Commission, it would appear that DirectProperty Inc as described on the Website displays warning signs of being set up for a fraudulent purpose.
All regulated businesses in Jersey are listed on our website.
Any person who has had dealings with DirectProperty Inc is requested to contact the Commission
