Beware of fraud attempts and impersonation scams

Fraudulent messages and advertisements are increasingly circulating on messaging platforms and fake websites. These scams often impersonate investment management firms or their professionals and may promote fake documents related to various financial products. 

Scammers commonly use tactics such as unsolicited mobile messages, third-party messaging apps, phishing emails, cold calls, or fake websites. Their goal is to entice you to invest in false products that misuse an investment manager's name or logo. 

Ausbil reminds you to carefully verify the authenticity of all communications before you act. You can do so by contacting Ausbil here. This includes content on websites, social media, emails, text messages, or third-party apps that claim to be issued, authorised, or connected to Ausbil, its affiliates, or its employees.
