Summary

This is a public statement issued by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) under Article 25(d) of the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998, warning the public about an unauthorised entity operating under the website blackpearl-asia.com and email info@blackpearl-asia.com, which falsely purports to represent Black Pearl Insurance (Jersey) PCC.

• No connection: The scam website and email address are not connected to the genuine Black Pearl Insurance (Jersey) PCC, part of the Vantage Limited group based in St Helier, Jersey.
• Unauthorised activity: The scam entity has never been registered under the Financial Services Law, and any financial service business it has carried out since 21 January 2005 is in breach of Article 7 of that Law.
• Fraud warning signs: Documentation held by the Commission indicates the website and email address show signs of being set up for a fraudulent purpose.
• Call to action: Anyone who has had dealings with the scam entity is asked to contact the Commission, and the public is reminded that all genuine regulated businesses in Jersey are listed on the JFSC website.

The statement is purely informational and does not impose ongoing regulatory obligations on licensed or authorised firms; it functions as a public warning notice about a fraudulent operation.
