Trusted brands are often targeted by fraudsters to add the appearance of legitimacy to their crimes. This can take many forms but often fraudsters will impersonate representatives of the company. They will frequently use falsified or copied material (documentation, email addresses, websites etc.) that imitates the branding and intellectual property of the company as a tool for such impersonation.
If you have been approached regarding an unbelievable offer in Fixed interest investment or ISA or any investment you do not see in our list of funds please contact us, these could be linked to fraudulent activity.
We have been made aware of fraudsters who have been placing advertisements with internet search engine providers to promote various fraudulent investments. The adverts link to fraudulent investment comparison sites and will prompt you to supply your name, telephone number and email address. Once this information has been provided, fraudsters posing as representatives of Lloyds Wealth will then cold call and email bogus prospectuses and application forms with a view to taking payment for fraudulent investments.
