How to Protect Yourself from Fraud

SUI Securities Ltd is an Investment Management firm based in London, England. We communicate only through this website and the contact details we provide to you directly. Our registered name and address will not change by email.

We are fee-only and compensated exclusively by our clients. We will never ask you to send money to us through an unsolicited payment request, and we will never offer you a return, a bonus or a fee for recruiting others.

Be alert to these warning signs, whether the contact claims to be us or anyone else:

• Contact out of the blue by phone, email, text or social media offering investments or promising high returns with little or no risk.
• Pressure to act quickly, to keep the matter secret, or to send money or personal details before you have had time to think.
• Requests to move your money to a "safe account", to a new account whose details arrived by email, or in cryptocurrency.
• Guaranteed returns, or returns described as "risk free". All genuine investments carry risk.
• Emails or invoices with changed bank details, especially shortly before a payment is due. This is a common trick known as payment diversion or invoice fraud.
• Firm details copied from a genuine firm, including its name, FCA registration number or website text.

Check any firm is authorised before you deal with it. In the United Kingdom, you can search the Financial Conduct Authority register at register.fca.org.uk. Also check the FCA warning list of firms running scams.

Call us back on a number you already have or find independently, never a number given to you in the suspicious message.

Use the FCA-recommended Bank of England-style approach: stop, take a moment to think, and only proceed once you have verified the request through a separate, trusted channel.

Beware of cloned websites. Check the address bar for the exact domain name, and be cautious of links that arrive in unexpected messages.

Use strong, unique passwords and turn on two-factor authentication for your email and financial accounts.

Keep your devices and browser up to date, and be careful about installing software or opening attachments from unknown sources.

Never share one-time passcodes, passwords or full card details with anyone. No genuine firm, including us, will ask for them.

Review your bank and card statements regularly and report anything unfamiliar to your bank immediately.

Contact your bank straight away using the number on your card or its official app, and ask it to recall the payment.

Report it to Action Fraud, the UK national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre, at actionfraud.police.uk or on 0300 123 2040. In Scotland, report to Police Scotland on 101.

Tell us too, using the contact form on our homepage, so we can warn other clients if a fraudster is using our name.

Forward suspicious emails that claim to be from us or from financial firms to report@phishing.gov.uk and suspicious text messages to 7726.

If we ever ask you to make a payment, the receiving account will be confirmed to you in advance through a channel you trust, and the account name will match the name we have given you. If your bank name-check service says the details do not match, do not send the money and contact us through a trusted channel.

We will never change our bank details at short notice by email alone.
