Dealing with scams

Clients should be extra vigilant if you receive any unexpected communications from third parties about their relationship with your Blacktower financial adviser or the company. If you do receive suspicious instructions, you are advised to check the legitimacy of these. If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, you should report it to the police as soon as possible. The sooner the fraud is reported, the greater the chance of containing or minimizing the damage.
