Beware of "Capitalsmith" and other fraudulent investment scams
We have recently become aware of a fraudulent company called "Capitalsmith," falsely claiming to represent or be connected with Fundsmith. Please note that Capitalsmith has no affiliation whatsoever with Fundsmith.
Beware of criminals who pose as members of our team, make false claims about trading ideas, request money, or ask you to click links to download files. Fundsmith will never provide investment advice or communicate directly through social media channels. This includes Telegram. Fundsmith does not operate, endorse, or associate with any Telegram groups or channels, and we are not affiliated with any that claim to represent us. Any such group is fraudulent and should be treated with caution.
Please report any fake groups to us at cybersecurity@fundsmith.co.uk. We will take steps to have these groups removed.
