You might have spotted it's a scam, but if you report it you might prevent someone else falling for it and losing their life's savings.2 -
mooneysaver,
You get an unsolicited e-mail asking you to give a company a minimum of £10,000 for a very high interest rate of 5.75% and also your email address.
The website you land on has no way for you to contact them (no phone number, UK address or person to contact). There is no FRN supplied, so you can not check if your money is indeed protected by the FRCS protection scheme as they claim it is.
A simple check on scamadvisor.com, using the web address supplied by the OP, comes back not a valid web address.
If you type "rolls-royce-group.co.uk you get "suspicious web site identified" and the website was only set up on 9 June 2023.
It appears non of the above suggests to you "it is a good idea" to stay a way.
Can you please inform me what are the" lot more details" you would need to stay away from this investment?4 -
No more information needed at all. It's definitely a scam. Loads of them doing the rounds using real company names but scammers taking the cashmooneysaver said:Agree with the posters above.
