Boiler room scams
Share scams are often run from 'boiler rooms' where fraudsters cold-call investors offering them worthless, overpriced or even non-existent shares. While they promise high returns, those who invest usually end up losing their money.

You may also receive a call from someone offering to buy your shares in Bellway p.l.c., or other companies in which you are a shareholder, usually at a higher price than their market value. This might sound like a great deal, but will likely come with a request for money up front as a bond or other form of security, which the scammers say they will pay back if the sale does not go ahead. This is probably an advance fee scam - where you pay money but never hear from them again.

Find out how the scams work and what to do to avoid becoming a victim by reading this FSA leaflet http://www.capitaregistrars.co.uk/media

Suspect phone calls

October 2011 - A number of our shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence offering to purchase their shares at apparently inflated prices. The correspondence claims that they represent a majority shareholder who is looking to take over Bellway. Please note that Bellway is not the subject of a take-over attempt, hostile or otherwise, and that approaches such as those currently being experienced by our shareholders are usually made by unauthorised companies and individuals. The approaches can be very persistent and extremely persuasive. We advise our shareholders to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a premium or offers of free reports into the Company. If you receive any unsolicited investment advice or any offers to purchase your shares:

  • Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation
  • Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved by visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/register/ and contacting the firm using the details on the register
  • Report the matter to the FSA either by calling 0845 606 1234 or visiting www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk
  • If the calls persist, hang up.

If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you will not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The FSA can be contacted by completing an online form at www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/doing/regulated/law/alerts/overseas.shtml
