Back to topShare dealing services
A low cost online and telephone share dealing facility is available through Capita Registrars, to buy or sell shares. There is no need to pre-register and there are no complicated forms to complete. These on-line and telephone services allow you to trade “real time” at a known price which will be given to you at the time you give your instruction. To deal in this way all you need is your surname, investor code, full postcode and your date of birth. Your investor code can be found on your latest statement, certificate or tax voucher. Please have the appropriate documents to hand when you log on or call, as this information will be needed before you can buy or sell shares.

This is not a recommendation to buy or sell shares. The price of shares can go down as well as up, and you are not guaranteed to get back the amount that you originally invested.

Back to topBoiler room scams – warning to shareholders
Over the last year, many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas based “brokers” who target UK shareholders, offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments. These operations are commonly known as “boiler rooms”. These “brokers” can be very persistent and extremely persuasive, and a 2006 survey by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has reported that the average amount lost by investors is around £20,000. The FSA receives and deals with an average of 6,500 consumer enquiries a year on boiler rooms and works with a range of stakeholders including the City of London Police and international regulators to protect UK investors from this type of fraud. In the past 18 months, the FSA has taken action against seven entities for acting as or assisting boiler rooms, including taking out injunctions, freezing assets, making people bankrupt and starting criminal investigations. In March, the FSA helped to refund about £1 million to UK investors. It is not just the novice investor that has been duped in this way; many victims had been successfully investing for several years.
Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free company reports. If you receive any cold call unsolicited investment advice:
- Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation.
- Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved by visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/register
- Report the matter to the FSA either by calling 0845 606 1234 or visiting www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk
- If the calls persist, hang up.
- If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you will not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The FSA can be contacted by completing an online form at www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/doing/regulated/law/alerts/overseas.shtml
- Details of any share dealing facilities that the company endorses will be included in company mailings.
- More detailed information on this or similar activity can be found on the FSA website www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk
