Investment Scams

I've put this on my Facebook page, but thought that this might be of interest to anyone in UK/Europe who wants to make a safe investment - or should I say - as safe as it can be!!

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) have compiled a register of dodgy investment companies - it's frightening just how many people have lost money through investment scams - and I thought that this info may be useful.

To check the validity of a company:

www.fsa.gov.uk/fsaregister - consumer helpline on 0845 606 1234

or to check the latest scams

www.fsa.gov.uk/scams - same consumer helpline

Not only in Investments but in everything. I've just been ripped off with my Internet/phone provider
