Bank Of Family
De Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) waarschuwt het publiek tegen de activiteiten van Bank Of Family.

Lees hieronder het persbericht:

The Commission has issued this public statement under Article 48(2) of the Banking Business (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended (the “Banking Business Law”).

This statement is made in order to warn investors and others against dealing with unauthorised financial services providers.

The person named below has not received authorisation to conduct deposit-taking business within the meaning of the Banking Business Law.

Bank Of Family, or
Bank Of Family International, or
Bank Of Family International Limited, or
Bank Of Family Bank International Limited
(Bank Of Family)
www.bankoffamily.com

It appears to the Commission that Bank Of Family, as described on the Website, is carrying on or holding out that it is carrying on deposit-taking business in Jersey when it is not authorised to do so pursuant to the provisions of the Banking Business Law. Further, it appears from the documentation held by the Commission that Bank Of Family is attempting to utilise the website content, address and telephone numbers of HSBC Bank International Limited; a bona-fide registered financial services provider in Jersey and other jurisdictions. Bank Of Family and the Website are not connected in any way to HSBC Bank International Limited or companies within the HSBC Group.
The Commission wishes it to be known that:

1. Bank Of Family has never been registered, nor applied for registration, under the Banking Business Law. Therefore    any deposit-taking business, as defined in Article 3 of the Banking Business Law and carried out by Bank Of Family    since 1 October 1991, is in breach of Article 8 of the Banking Business Law;
2. Bank Of Family is not connected in any way to HSBC Bank International Limited and companies within the HSBC    Group. The HSBC Group has headquarters in London, England and has a presence in various jurisdictions including    Jersey. HSBC Bank International Limited and companies within the HSBC Group are authorised by the Commission to    conduct regulated activities; and
3. From documentation held by the Commission, it would appear that Bank Of Family and the Website display     warning signs of being set up for a fraudulent purpose.

All regulated businesses in Jersey are listed on the Commission’s website at the following address: www.jerseyfsc.org/the_commission/regulated_entities/index.asp

Any person who has had dealings with Bank Of Family is requested to contact the Commission.

Berg Commodities
The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FMSA) warns the public against the activities of Berg Commodities, a company that claims to offer investment services and insurance services.

Berg Commodities does not have an authorization in Belgium as an investment firm or as an insurance company, nor is it registered as an insurance intermediary. It is therefore not allowed to provide investment or insurance services in or from Belgium.

Berg Commodities gives its address as "Chaussée Waterloo, 1050 Brussels" without indicating a house number.

The FSMA therefore advises against responding to any offers of service made by Berg Commodities and against transferring money to any account number it might mention.

Would you like to enquire more generally as to the regularity of a transaction being proposed? If so, please consult the Consumers page on the FSMA website (www.fsma.be) or contact the 'Relations with Consumers of Financial Services' department (tel.: +32 2 220 59 10; email address: peri@fsma.be).

Bergmann & Co. International
Finanstilsynet (The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) warns against investment offers promoted by Bergmann & Co. International

Finanstilsynet has been informed that Bergmann & Co. International (address: Room 2025, Tower 1, Lippo Centre, 89 Queensway, Admiralty, Hong Kong) has approached Norwegian investors offering investment services. The company also offers services from a website www.bergmannco-international.com.

Finanstilsynet wishes to make it clear that Bergmann & Co. International is not authorised to provide investment services in Norway, and therefore lacks the licence required under Norwegian law. The company is consequently not subject to Finanstilsynet’s supervisory oversight, nor has Finanstilsynet approved the services offered by the company. Finanstilsynet therefore recommends investors not to enter into agreements with or transfer assets to Bergmann & Co. International.

Finanstilsynet's registry (http://www.finanstilsynet.no/registry) gives details of all companies authorised to offer investment services in Norway. A list (not complete) of companies operating in the market without a licence can be found on Finanstilsynet's website (http://www.finanstilsynet.no/markedsadvarsler/).

BFOREX Limited
The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel (ACP) issued a press release on 7 July 2011 warning the public about offers to invest in the foreign exchange (forex1) market.
The release listed a number of websites and entities that were not authorised to supply these products in France.

The ACP and the AMF have updated the list by:
- adding websites and entities identified recently as offering forex products illegally in France
- removing websites and entities that now comply with French law, either because they have ceased
  operations in France or because their investment proposals are now made by intermediaries
  authorised to supply investment services in France.
The updated list is:

- www.bforex.com / BFOREX Limited
- www.gcitrading.com / GCI Financial Limited
- www.nordfx.com/fr / Nord Group Investments Inc.
- www.fxcast.com / Surplus Finance SA
- www.instaforex.com/ InstaForex Companies Group
- www.finanzasforex.com / Evolution Market Group Inc.
- www.youtradefx.com / International Youtrade Investments MA Ltd
- www.ikkotrader.com / Ikko Investments Ltd
- www.trader369.com / IP International Service

The AMF and the ACP wish to remind individual investors of the specific risks relating to products offered to them on the forex market (http://www.amf-france.org/documents/general/10072_1.pdf).

Before you enter into a commitment, make sure that the intermediary offering or recommending the investment products or services is registered on a list of providers authorised to provide investment services in France (https://www.regafi.fr).

If the intermediary is not on the list, the AMF and the ACP strongly advise you to ignore its offers, since it is in breach of applicable legislation and is not required to comply with basic rules on investor protection, reliable disclosure and complaint handling.

1. Trading in the foreign exchange (forex or FX) market takes place over the counter and is therefore unregulated.

Waarschuwing van de Central Bank of Ireland van 12 september

The Central Bank today (12 September 2012) published the name of six unauthorised investment firms who are either claiming to be or holding themselves out to be an investment firm in the State or have been offering investment services to members of the Irish public.

Bond Asset Management (UK, Germany & Hong Kong), Profidex Limited (Japan), Sun-Wealth Corporate Finance (Japan), Zheng Bridge Capital (China), CT Lambson & Associates, LLC (USA), have been offering investment services to members of the Irish public and are not authorised as investment firms in Ireland.
MMA Capital Markets Limited, also known as MMA Forex & MMA FX is claiming or holding itself out as an investment firm in the State. This firm also purports to be based in the United Arab Emirates.

A list of unauthorised firms published to date is available on the Central Bank website.

It is a criminal offence for an investment firm to operate in Ireland unless it has an authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. Consumers should be aware that, if they deal with an investment firm which is not authorised, they are not eligible for compensation from the Investor Compensation Scheme.

Any person wishing to contact the Central Bank of Ireland with information regarding such firms may telephone (01) 224 4000. This line is also available to the public to check if an investment firm is authorised. Since obtaining the necessary legal powers in August 1998, the names of 191 unauthorised firms have been published by the Central Bank.

30-06-2010
The Financial Regulator today (Wednesday, 30 June 2010) published a warning notice on two firms: Borsa Financial (Italy) and New Century Capital (Austria and the United Kingdom). These firms are not authorised as investment firms in Ireland and have been offering investment services to members of the Irish public. The notice is published today in Irish daily newspapers under the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007.

It is a criminal offence for an investment firm to operate in Ireland unless it has an authorisation from the Financial Regulator. Clients of unauthorised firms are not eligible for compensation from the Investor Compensation Scheme.

Any person wishing to contact the Financial Regulator with information regarding such firms may telephone 1890-200-469. This line is also available to the public to check if an investment firm is authorised. Since obtaining the necessary legal powers in August 1998, 81 warnings naming 154 firms have been issued. A list of all warning notices issued to date is available on the website www.financialregulator.ie

17-11-2009
The Banking, Finance and Insurance Commission (CBFA) warns the public against the activities of Borsa Financial (www.borsafinancial.com), which is contacting Belgian investors with a view to offering investment services.

Borsa Financial claims to be a firm with its registered office in Italy at Via Barberini 3/A, 00187 Rome. It does not have the authorization in Belgium necessary to offer investment services in or from Belgium.

The CBFA thus advises the public against responding to any offers of investment services made in the name of Borsa Financial and against transferring money to any account number they might mention.

Anyone wishing more generally to enquire as to the regularity of any transaction proposed can find further information on the “Consumer Protection” page of the CBFA web site (www.cbfa.be) or by contacting the “Protection of Consumers of Financial Services” Department (telephone: +32 2 220 59 10; email address: peri@cbfa.be).

Bower Best Consultants and Equities Management Bureau
The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) warns against the activities of Bower Best Consultants and of Equities Management Bureau. Bower Best Consultants claims to offer investment services from premises in Belgium at De Keyserlei 5, Antwerp Tower, 2018 Antwerp, and Equities Management Bureau claims to be a financial supervisor in Japan.

Bower Best Consultants does not have the authorization necessary to offer investment services in or from Belgium.

Equities Management Bureau claims to be established in Japan at Intercity Tower A, Level 18, Shinagawa, 2-15-1 Konan, Minato-Ku, Tokyo 108-6028. It falsely claims to be a Japanese financial supervisor. The institution appears to be used to lend an air of respectability to certain investments offered to the public by Bower Best Consultants.

The FSMA thus advises against responding to any offers of investment services made in the name of Bower Best Consultants and against transferring money to any account number they might mention.
Would you like to enquire more generally as to the regularity of a transaction being proposed? If so, please consult the Consumers page on the FSMA website (www.fsma.be) or contact the competent department (tel.: +32 2 220 59 10; email address: peri@fsma.be).

Waarschuwing Finanstilsynet (07-11-2012)

Finanstilsynet (The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway) warns against investment offers promoted by BP Holdings.

Finanstilsynet has been informed that BP Holdings (address: BP Business Center, Calle de Jerez de Los Caballeros, 28042 Madrid, Spain and 16/F Miramar Tower, 132 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong) has approached Norwegian investors offering investment services. The company also offers services from a website http://bpholdings.com/contact.html.

Finanstilsynet wishes to make it clear that BP Holdings is not authorised to provide investment services in Norway, and therefore lacks the licence required under Norwegian law. The company is consequently not subject to Finanstilsynet’s supervisory oversight, nor has Finanstilsynet approved the services offered by the company. Finanstilsynet therefore recommends investors not to enter into agreements with or transfer assets to BP Holdings.

Finanstilsynet's registry (http://www.finanstilsynet.no/registry) gives details of all companies authorised to offer investment services in Norway. A list (not complete) of companies operating in the market without a licence can be found on Finanstilsynet's website (http://www.finanstilsynet.no/markedsadvarsler/).

Waarschuwing FSMA (04-10-2012)

The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) warns the public against the activities of BP Holdings, a company that claims to offer investment services.

BP Holdings is not an authorized investment firm in Belgium. It is therefore not allowed to provide investment services in or from Belgium.

The FSMA therefore advises against responding to any offers of financial services made by BP Holdings and against transferring money to any account number they might mention.

BP Holdings claims to be established in Spain at the BP Business Center, Calle de Jerez de los Caballeros, 28042 Madrid and in Hong Kong at 16/F Miramar Tower, 132 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha, Tsui, Kowloon.

BvB Development SA
The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) warns the public against the activities of BvB Development SA, whose director is Mr Bauduin Van Aerssen Beyeren, and which is contacting Belgian investors with a view to offering investment services. The firm apparently uses the services of Mr Gervijn Pollet for this purpose.

BvB Development SA claims to be a firm with registered office in Switzerland at 14 Grand Place, 1701 Fribourg.

This firm does not have the authorization necessary to offer investment services in or from Belgium .
The FSMA thus advises the public against responding to any offers of investment services made in the name of BvB Development SA and against transferring money to any account number they might mention.

Anyone wishing more generally to enquire as to the regularity of any transaction proposed can find further information on the “Consumers” page of the FSMA website (www.fsma.be) or by contacting the competent department (telephone: +32 2 220 59 10; email address: peri@fsma.be).
