The Guernsey Financial Services Commission issued a consumer warning after becoming aware of a fake news article circulating on social media, purportedly from the Guernsey Press, that promotes investment opportunities for Guernsey residents involving FortuixAgent. The Commission clarified that FortuixAgent is not licensed, authorised, or otherwise regulated by the Commission to conduct any financial services business in or from within the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The notice highlights that the fake article includes the Commission’s logo in a spurious account statement. The Commission advised consumers to check a company’s regulatory status before investing and reminded residents to deal only with properly licensed businesses, and it pointed to its website for information on investment scams and how to report them.
