Protecting yourself against fraud
Fraud awareness
We have several websites, and will also contact you via email from time to time. When receiving these emails or accessing our website, it is important to know that these are genuine.
Fraud Prevention
Fraudsters are constantly developing their tactics and looking for new ways to steal your money through social engineering tactics. Resist the urge to act immediately no matter how dramatic the claim or urgent the situation. It is important to recognise a scam and understand how you can help protect yourself.
Fraud alerts
Unfortunately scams and attempted frauds through social media, phone calls and emails claiming to be from a Schroders Personal Wealth representative do sometimes occur. You may be contacted by people claiming to be from Schroders Personal Wealth who will try to persuade you to invest with them.
Recognising the red flags of alternative investment scams
With the surge of interest in alternative investments comes a concerning increase in scams. It’s important to educate yourself on the potential pitfalls and red flags when considering alternative investments.
