⚠️Keep safe from impersonation scams ⚠️

Scammers will spoof phone numbers, fake official looking messages, or claim you’re under investigation. Anything to panic you into action.

Their goal? Simple. Pressure you into giving information or making a payment.

Scammers can pretend to be trusted organisations or people, such as banks, delivery services, government agencies, or even colleagues or family members.

Be wary of phrases like:
‘Your account has been locked, act now to avoid charges.’
‘You owe an outstanding fee and failure to pay will result in legal action.’
‘We’ve detected suspicious activity. Confirm your identity immediately.’

Stop – hang up, pause, and take a breath.
Challenge – contact the organisation directly using a number or website you trust.
Protect – never share one time passcodes, login details, or card numbers with anyone.

If you think you may have been affected by an impersonation scam, contact the States of Jersey Police on 01534 612612.
