Fraud Alert Warning: Website and Identity Fraud in Germany

      Waystone is aware of fraudsters operating in Germany who are purporting to be from Waystone in an attempt to defraud individuals. These fraudulent actors are using tactics including claiming to be employed by Waystone, asking individuals to vote via a website for a CEO in Germany and provide personal information to vote, and seeking investors to consider an illegitimate fund for investment purposes.

      Please note that these activities and the fraudulent actor purporting to be from Waystone are not associated with Waystone in any capacity. We strongly recommend that anyone contacted by these fraudulent actors exercise vigilance, refrain from engaging with their communications and do not share any personal information.

      Waystone has reported these fraudulent activities to relevant law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities in Germany and Ireland. Other recent fraud alerts issued can be found on BaFin and the Central Bank of Ireland’s websites.

      If you believe you have been the victim or target of attempted fraud in whatever form, you should also contact your country’s national reporting centre and relevant enforcement bodies for fraud and cyber-crime.

      You can find our latest fraud alerts and warnings via our website at www.waystone.com, as well as the specific funds that Waystone provides institutional governance and Investment Solutions services to:
