Dating safely

Most people you meet are exactly who they say. These habits protect you from the few who aren’t.

Report fraud to Guernsey Police

Guernsey is a Crown Dependency, so report fraud locally rather than to a UK service. If you have paid money, contact your bank or card provider first, then report it to Guernsey Police through guernsey.police.uk. If a suspected fraud involves a financial service with a Guernsey connection, you can also tell the Guernsey Financial Services Commission.

Never move money for someone you have not met

Be wary of anyone who asks for money, bank details or security codes, however convincing they seem. If a message asks you to call your bank, use the number on your card, not the one in the message.

Take care on the cliff paths

The cliff paths have tricky terrain and long flights of steps, including 270 down to Petit Port and back. Wear good shoes, tell a friend where you are going, and check the bus times home before you set off.
