Caution: Fraud involving "Clone Firms"
In the case of “clone firms” fraudsters pretend to be genuine providers, and use their name, branding or company details. As a result, a fraudulent offer looks like it has come from a serious provider.
Prior to making any investment decision, check whether the offer really originates from the company that it claims to. Only contact the company using its official contact channels, such as the phone number or e-mail address provided on its official website, rather than using the contact details supplied in the offering.
