PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FRAUD

Beware of criminals impersonating Moorgate Capital Management

Criminals who engage in fraudulent activity are increasingly sophisticated. They are often articulate and financially knowledgeable, and they may falsely claim to represent Moorgate Capital Management.

They do this by creating professional materials, testimonials, and even a website to encourage you to make fraudulent investments.

Our Authorised Firm

We have one authorised firm on the FCA register:

  • Moorgate Capital Management

If someone sends you to a website that looks like ours, double check that it matches our details on the FCA register. You can find it here; simply search for our name to run a check. Pay particular attention to the name, or URL, of the website, as it can often be subtly different – sometimes even by as little as one letter.

Common tactics used by criminals

These are five common tactics often used by criminals, as highlighted by the FCA:

  • Applying pressure – saying that there is a limited offer or bonuses before a set date (usually in the immediate future)
  • Downplaying the risks to your money, suggesting the investment is very safe
  • Promising lucrative returns , with better interest rates than offered elsewhere
  • Calling you repeatedly , usually from an initial cold call
  • Explaining that either the deal is only available to you , or that other clients want in the deal

The FCA provide more information on how to be a 'Scam Smart Investor' on their website.
