BEWARE OF SHARE FRAUD<br />
Fraudsters use persuasive and high-pressure tactics to lure investors into scams.<br />
They may offer to sell shares that turn out to be worthless or non-existent, or to buy shares at an inflated price in return for an upfront payment.<br />
While high profits are promised, if you buy or sell shares in this way you will probably lose your money.<br />
5,000 people contact the Financial Conduct Authority about share fraud each year, with victims losing an average of £20,000.<br />
How to avoid share fraud<br />
1. Keep in mind that firms authorised by the FCA are unlikely to<br />
contact you out of the blue with an offer to buy or sell shares.<br />
2. Do not get into a conversation, note the name of the person<br />
and firm contacting you and then end the call.<br />
3. Check the Financial Services Register from www.fca.org.uk to see<br />
if the person and firm contacting you is authorised by the FCA.<br />
4. Beware of fraudsters claiming to be from an authorised firm,<br />
copying its website or giving you false contact details.<br />
5. Use the firm’s contact details listed on the Register if you want<br />
to call it back.<br />
6. Call the FCA on 0800 111 6768 if the firm does not have contact<br />
details on the Register or you are told they are out of date.<br />
7. Search the list of unauthorised firms to avoid at<br />
www.fca.org.uk/scams<br />
8. Consider that if you buy or sell shares from an unauthorised<br />
firm you will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman<br />
Service or Financial Services Compensation Scheme.<br />
9. Think about getting independent financial and professional<br />
advice before you hand over any money.<br />
10. Remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!<br />
Report a scam<br />
If you are approached by fraudsters please tell the FCA using the share fraud <strong>report</strong>ing form at www.fca.org.uk/scams, where you can<br />
find out more about investment scams.<br />
You can also call the FCA Consumer Helpline on 0800 111 6768.<br />
If you have already paid money to share fraudsters you should contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.<br />
