Anley Trustees Limited (the impersonating entity) (2022-06-21)

Summary

This is a public warning notice issued by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) alerting the public to an entity fraudulently impersonating Anley Trustees Limited, a genuine Jersey-registered and regulated trust company. The impersonating entity, using a specific email address, is falsely claiming to operate from Anley Trustees Limited's registered address and is not authorised or registered under the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998.

• Nature of the warning: An unidentified entity is impersonating Anley Trustees Limited via a specific email address, falsely claiming its registered address and holding out as carrying on financial service business in Jersey.
• Regulatory status: The impersonating entity has never been registered or applied for registration under the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998; any financial service business it conducts breaches Article 7 of that law.
• No connection to genuine firm: The JFSC confirms the impersonating entity and email address have no connection to the genuine, regulated Anley Trustees Limited (registration number 58883).
• Fraud indicators: Documentation held by the JFSC shows the impersonating entity and email display warning signs of being set up for fraudulent purposes.

The notice advises members of the public to verify a firm's regulated status and registration details via the JFSC's Regulated Entities and Registry pages before dealing with any purported Jersey financial service provider, and directs anyone who has had dealings with the impersonating entity to contact the JFSC's Enforcement team.
