Recently i was contacted by a company about buying some shares. I have never heard of the company and cant find any independent info on them. I would like to know if anyone has heard of the Oanna Group?

    If you were contacted without requesting information first, stay clear, it's probably a scam.

    Reputable investment companies do not cold call. However, dodgy companies frequently do and most are not UK based so you cant do anything about it.

    Never buy investments on the basis of a cold call. Its almost certainly a scam or a sign of desperation.

    Too be honest I have no idea how the company got my name, that was why I was trying to find out a bit about them but I couldnt find anything other than what they had written.
