Is Your Name In 75,000 Fraudster Hit List.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is contacting over 75,000 people to warn them they are at risk of being targeted by fraudsters.
The list of 76,732 is the largest number of possible victims that the FSA has ever contacted at one. Their names were found on lists gathered from firms the FSA believes were fraudulently selling investments in land or worthless or fake shares.
According to the FSA head of unauthorised business Jonathan Phelan, if you receive a letter or email from the FSA over the next five or six weeks, please read it, it could save you tens of thousands of pounds.
If you have already been contacted by a firm offering you a ‘once in a lifetime’ investment opportunity or have already invested, then you need to get in contact with the FSA. The information you have could help them catch criminals and shut down their scams.
