DFSA Issues Consumer Alert On Internet Investment Scam

by Lorys Charalambous, Tax-News.com, Cyprus

13 May 2008

The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) on Monday alerted the financial services community of a fraudulent internet investment scam which is currently in operation.

The scam is claiming to represent Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman, the Governor of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), and is inviting individuals to participate as a broker/agent in a DIFC individualised equity investment portfolio management program; a program that does not actually exist.

The invitation states that the DIFC is privately looking for fiduciary agents and management experts who will be willing to act as investment portfolio holders and administrators.

The fraudulent scheme offers financial rewards to those who participate.

This e-mail is linked to organised fraud and the DFSA has strongly advised those who receive it not to respond to the invitation.
