Less than two months into the new year, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) has already issued several warnings about potential scam artists.

Criminals are becoming more sophisticated and we need to take extra care before handing over our hard-earned cash.The FSCA received information that there is a person soliciting funds from people, purporting to act for a company named the Blue Alpha Alliance Group. Blue Alpha Alliance Group offers share investments in the “Uber and Taxify business”.

It is the FSCA’s view that the above-mentioned entity is an unregistered business providing advisory and intermediary services without the necessary authorisation.A company called Western Loan Finance is falsely using the name and brand of the now defunct Financial Services Board to defraud members of the public by offering them opportunities to receive financial loans.

The FSB ceased to exist as the market regulator and was replaced by the FSCA on April 1 2018. No correspondence under the FSB brand has been sent out since then. Members of the public who have received such correspondence from this counterfeit “FSB” company should inform the FSCA immediately.It was brought to the FSCA’s attention that Tradefarm claims to be an authorised financial services provider , taking funds from the members of the public to invest on their behalf.

He alleges that Nadex Investments is a subsidiary of AIP Capital Management Ltd, an authorised FSP – with FSP number .
