Don’t play Russian Roulette with your savings, City watchdog warns
The Financial Services Authority is warning investors not to play Russian Roulette with their savings by dealing with unauthorised firms. The renewed warning has been prompted by a surge in the number of enquiries and complaints that the Authority has received about unauthorised overseas firms that have targeted UK-based investors in the last 12 months. The FSA previously warned about such firms in May 2000.
