Warning to shareholders
We are aware that some shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas based broker’s who target UK shareholders, offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments. 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 investment 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/.

If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you will not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. You can report approaches made by unauthorised firms to the FSA either by calling +44 (0)845 606 1234 or by completing the online reporting format www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/doing/regulated/law/alerts/overseas.shtml.
