Be on your guard – beware of fraudsters
In recent years, many companies have become aware that
their shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or
correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically
from overseas based ‘brokers’ who target UK shareholders,
offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high
risk shares in US or UK investments. These operations are
commonly known as ‘boiler rooms’.
Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited
advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free company
reports. If you receive any unsolicited advice:
— Make sure you get the correct name of the person and
organisation
— Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before
getting involved by visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/register/
