Quilter has been targeted by each of these methods. Most recently, we have identified fraudsters attempting to convince clients that a bone fide business has changed its bank account details to encourage funds to be paid into the fraudster’s own account. These fraudsters are often articulate and knowledgeable, using sophisticated techniques to impersonate companies and research their targets, making their scams look like genuine investments. Typically, experienced investors and those over 65 with savings in excess of £10,000 are targets for investment fraud, but it can happen to anyone. Your security is our priority, so we have reacted quickly to help you and the financial advisers we work with to spot these fraudsters.
