Internet Scams and Cyber Security
In the financial sector, internet scams have plateaued, but individuals still attempt to deceive and exploit clients by posing as representatives of Swiss Value Energy AG. Please exercise caution and verify the authenticity of any unexpected communication claiming to be from us.

Key Points to Remember:

• We will never solicit clients directly, nor will we conduct any investment contracts via e-mail.
• We will never send a subscription form for an investment offer. Any investment advertisement issued by Swiss Value Energy AG will direct clients to our official websites.
• Be wary of unsolicited calls, emails, or letters offering unusually profitable investment opportunities. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always visit the official websites of firms offering investment opportunities and avoid following links in unsolicited emails.
• Your security is our utmost priority. We appreciate your diligence in helping us maintain a safe environment for our clients and investors. We will never request personal information through unsolicited communications, only through our official channels.

WhatsApp Scams: Be Aware
We have received reports from the public indicating they have received requests or joined WhatsApp groups allegedly set up by Swiss Value Energy AG for activities such as trading tips and investment advice. These WhatsApp groups are not created by Swiss Value Energy AG, and we do not solicit business via WhatsApp or any other social media platform.

Please report any suspicious activity to us at:
Email: security@swissvalue-energy.ch
These mailboxes are monitored Monday - Friday between 9am - 5pm (CET).

Email Scams: What to Look Out For
Fraudsters often use fake Swiss Value Energy AG email addresses and employee names to promote fake investments in bonds or other financial products. These scams usually target people who have searched for investment opportunities online. Be cautious with email attachments, as they may contain malicious software.

Examples of Suspicious Email Addresses and Websites:

• examplefakeaddress@gmail.com
• swissvalue.assurance0908@gmail.com
• wealthifyfx.com
• wealthifyreferral.co.uk
• wealthify.agency

Financial Scams: Attack of the Clones
Cloned websites can appear legitimate but often have slight differences. Always verify URLs and be cautious of links. Swiss Value Energy AG collaborates with regulatory bodies to identify and take down fraudulent domains.

How Cloning Scams Work:

• Fraudsters might send emails claiming unauthorized activity on your account, asking you to log in via a provided link, which leads to a fake site.
• Fraudsters may also pay to have their cloned sites appear at the top of search engine rankings.

How to Stay Safe:

• Get web addresses from official correspondence and type them in manually.
• Genuine government and financial websites usually start with "https" and display a padlock symbol.
• Verify financial services firms' authenticity through local regulatory bodies. For the UK, visit the FCA Register.

Recovery Scam
Fraudsters posing as representatives of fictitious law firms may contact you, claiming to help recover investment losses for an upfront fee. Legitimate law firms do not operate this way. Always verify identities and never share personal or financial information.

Contacted by a Fraudster or Fallen Victim to a Scam?
If you suspect you have been scammed, report it to your bank and the police immediately. If you believe you have received a fake link purporting to be from Swiss Value Energy AG, contact us at security@swissvaluegroup.com.
