Be ScamSmart. Find out how to protect yourself and avoid investment scams.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released the new 'ScamSmart' campaign to advise potential investors how to recognise and avoid investment fraud.
James Fisher, and other companies, are aware that some shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters which imply a connection to the company concerned.
If it sounds too good to be true....it probably is.
Have you been
- Contacted out of the blue
- Promised tempting returns and told the investment is safe
- Called repeatedly, or
- Told the offer is only available for a limited time?
If so, you might have been contacted by fraudsters.
