Warning: Scam calls following Pier Road tragedy
Following recent tragic events in Jersey, we would like to remind Islanders to remain vigilant to the risk of falling victim to scammers trying to take advantage of the situation.
We have been made aware of scam calls targeting Islanders requesting donations under false pretences or trying to obtain personal details. Scammers may also try to contact you by e-mail, post or in person.
If you think someone might be trying to scam you, do not:
- give them any personal information, like bank details, computer passwords or PIN numbers
- reply to their correspondence or click on any links in emails or texts
- download any attachments or files in emails
- send them any money or buy anything
- call any numbers in correspondence you receive
- let them into your house if they are at your door.
