INVESTORS & MEDIA
Unsolicited calls
Unsolicited telephone calls and correspondence
Shareholders are advised to be wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount, or offers of free reports about the Company. These are typically from overseas based ‘brokers’ who target US or UK shareholders, offering to sell them what often turns out to be worthless or high risk shares. These operations are commonly known as ‘boiler rooms’ and the ‘brokers’ can be very persistent and extremely persuasive.
If you receive any unsolicited investment advice:
- Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation
- Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved by visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/fsaregister and contacting the firm using the details on the register
- Report the matter to the FSA either by calling 0845 606 1234 or visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/scams
- If the calls persist, hang up.
Details of any share dealing facilities that the company endorses will be included in company mailings.
