Fraud warning over counterfeit bank website

Wednesday, 18 December 2024 12:34

The Island's financial regulator is warning people not to fall for a scam impersonating an Island bank.

The Financial Services Authority says fraudsters have cloned the genuine website of Conister Bank Limited and are asking people to transfer funds to another account.

But the FSA says the website isn't linked to the bank and it's an attempt to get people to hand over details.

It says people should have nothing to do with it - and should contact police if they're already involved in dealings with it.
