| In recent years, many companies have become aware that their shareholders or potential shareholders have received unsolicited correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas based individuals purporting to be brokers who target UK shareholders, offering what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments. These fraudulent operations are commonly known as 'boiler rooms'. Individuals involved in these fraudulent operations can be very persistent. |
A number of investors have reported that they have been contacted by such individuals offering to sell Avocet Mining PLC shares at a discount to market price.
Investors are advised to be very wary of unsolicited advice, offers to sell shares at a discount or buy at a premium, or offers of free company reports. If you receive any unsolicited investment advice, the FSA's advice to UK investors is to check that the brokers are properly authorised by the FSA, by visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/register and contact the firm using the details on the register (NOT the details provided by the unsolicited caller). |
| To report the matter to the FSA please call +44 845 606 1234 or visit www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/ consumerinformation. |
| If you believe you have been contacted by a fraudulent broker, the City of London police request that you report the details to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040. If the matter relates to Avocet Mining PLC shares, please quote the reference FDL 10383/11 |
