Scam Warning

Two scam warnings have been issued for Islanders - one of which is a bank scam.

Trading Standards says it's had reports from Islanders purporting to be from different banks.

They will ask you to click on a link and if you don’t have accounts with the bank they name this is easy to spot as a scam - however - the scammers may choose to use the name of your bank.

We're being reminded that banks will NEVER contact you in this way.
