Please be aware that shareholders are sometimes contacted in connection with increasingly sophisticated but fraudulent financial scams. Shareholders are called from an international number by someone claiming to represent a corporate finance firm. The caller may sound professional and will typically offer to buy your VCT shares at an inflated price in connection with a possible takeover bid or acquisition.
The claims made are false and are invariably an attempt to obtain more information from you with a view to extracting money. If you are contacted, we strongly suggest that you do not provide any personal information and that you end the call. Your contact information has not been passed on by us.
