Beware of scammers impersonating Fidelity
Fraudsters are making unsolicited contact with individuals and falsely claiming they represent Fidelity. Scammers state they are able to recover losses from previous investment frauds including crypto currency scams. To achieve this an upfront payment is required from the intended victim.
Any such contact is fraudulent. Fidelity do not offer any such loss recovery services and none of the described activity is in any way associated to Fidelity or our services.
This type of investment scam is known as a 'clone firm investment scam' and is on the rise - with firms across the financial services industry continuing to be cloned.
