Scam warning

Be Scam Aware

Internet scams are increasing, particularly in the financial sector. Here is what to remember if you are solicited by someone claiming to act on behalf of Legal & General or Legal & General Investment Management.

• We will not solicit clients or individual investors directly and do not offer investment advice.
• We no longer accept new customer applications for Bonds, ISAs, Junior ISAs, General Investment Accounts. Should you be contacted by someone claiming to represent Legal & General or Legal & General Investment Management to sell you one of these products, it is likely to be a scam. Existing customers can continue to invest in our fund range.
• Be aware of unsolicited calls, emails or letters offering unusually profitable investment opportunities. Fraudsters may be using this time of economic uncertainty to launch new investment scams. use official sources for information, such as home pages of firms purporting to offer the investment and avoid following links embedded in unsolicited email communications. Exercise extra caution when it sounds too good to be true.
• Be aware of parties claiming to be connected to Fidelity in relation to the transfer from Legal & General.  Fidelity will not appoint a third party to act on their behalf to contact you in relation to the migration of your account.  There is no charge to transfer your account from Legal & General to Fidelity.
