Public statement

SVF GP (Jersey) Limited (the impersonating entity)

https://www.SVFGPLTD.com (the website)

Proceeds of Crime (Supervisory Bodies) (Jersey) Law 2008 (Supervisory Bodies Law)

This statement is to warn members of the public against dealing with unauthorised financial service providers, including the impersonating entity. The Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) holds documentation showing the impersonating entity via the website and email addresses are:

  • falsely claiming to represent SVF GP (Jersey) Limited, a legitimate Jersey regulated company (Registration Number: 122662)
  • falsely claiming to have a business address of IFC6, The Esplanade, St. Helier, Jersey, JE4 0QH, the legitimate address of SVF GP (Jersey) Limited
  • carrying on or holding out as carrying on Schedule 2 business (Lending) in Jersey when they are not authorised by the JFSC to do so

The JFSC confirms the following:

  • the impersonating entity, the website and the email addresses are not associated in any way to the legitimate Jersey regulated company, SVF GP (Jersey) Limited based at IFC6, The Esplanade, St. Helier, Jersey, JE4 0QH or its service provider, Aztec Financial Services (Jersey) Limited
  • the impersonating entity has never been registered, nor applied for registration, under the Supervisory Bodies Law. Therefore, any Schedule 2 business (Lending) carried on by the impersonating entity, is in contravention of Article 10 of the Supervisory Bodies Law
  • the impersonating entity website and email addresses display warning signs of being set up for fraudulent purposes

How to spot a scam

If you receive an unexpected message, friend request, email, text, call or letter, look for signs that it may be a scam. These can include but are not limited to:

  • spelling mistakes or poor grammar
  • pressure and urgency for you to do something
  • asking or telling you to click on a link
  • unusual payment methods
  • unusual communication methods
  • promises or offers that seem too good to be true
  • requests for sensitive and/or personal information
  • website addresses and social media accounts that closely resemble but differ slightly from genuine sites

How to protect yourself

STOP - do not act immediately to unexpected calls, messages and emails, especially if you are being asked to act quickly, or disclose personal or sensitive information

CHECK - contact a firm directly to verify the request and use official contact details, check regulator registers and search company/individual names with ‘scam’ or ‘warning’ within the search term

PROTECT - speak to someone you trust, your bank, or service provider before sending any money to any individual or firm that has unexpectedly contacted you

For any business claiming to be registered or regulated in Jersey, members of the public can verify:

If you think you have been targeted, please report it to: 

  • the States of Jersey Police
  • your bank – if you have already made a payment
  • the JFSC’s Enforcement Division
