We want to make you aware of a scam that is currently targeting clients of financial services firms, including ours.
What’s happening?
Fraudsters are sending emails that appear to come from our firm or one of our representatives. These emails may look genuine — they often use a very similar email address (sometimes with just one extra letter) and may even copy our branding and email footer.
The messages typically promote an investment opportunity with a very high “guaranteed” return and may urge you to act quickly.
Please be cautious, these emails are not from us, and the investment offers are not legitimate.
How to protect yourself:
Always check the sender’s email address carefully — look out for small changes or extra characters.
Be wary of unexpected investment offers, even those that appear to come from a trusted source, especially those promising unusually high returns.
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t respond — contact us directly using the contact details you already have, but do not respond to the suspicious email you have received.
Never send money or personal information in response to an unsolicited email.
If you’ve received a suspicious message or have any concerns, please contact us immediately. We’re here to help.
Thank you for staying vigilant.
