Email phishing alert
We have been alerted that some industry members have received phishing emails, incorrectly claiming to be from senior members of the JFSC. We urge stakeholders to take appropriate measures.
The fake email in question references Director General Jill Britton and encourages the recipient to open a pdf attachment with a sense of urgency.
The sender’s email address is jill.britton@mail-jerseyfsc.org. Please note that the email address domain does not belong to the JFSC.
The JFSC’s official email format is firstinitial.lastname@jerseyfsc.org. If you receive an email from a sender where their email address ends with anything other than @jerseyfsc.org, it is fake, should not be responded to, and any attachments should not be opened.
If you have any doubt as to the authenticity of any email received from the JFSC, before replying to it, and especially before opening any attachments, you should take additional steps to verify that the sender is legitimate.
We encourage industry to:
- Check JFSC email correspondence matches the official JFSC format and email domain i.e. firstinitial.lastname@jerseyfsc.org
- Contact your IT and/or information security teams for advice
- Call the JFSC on +44 (0)1534 822000 and asking to speak to the individual who sent, or appears to have sent the message, in order to verify its legitimacy.
