Investegate does not under any circumstances offer cash prizes, investment advice or the opportunity to buy and sell financial products.
If you have found this page because you've received an email, letter, or any other form of communication from Investegate offering you money, the opportunity to win money, or the opportunity to buy or sell financial products then it is likely that this is the result of an attempt at fraud, where someone is using our logo and website illegally as a means to give credibility to this crime.

Criminals often attempt to convince people that their activities are legitimate by unlawfully stealing trademarks and logos. The Institute of Company Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) Registrars Group has issued an official warning to investors to beware of fraudulent use of authorised firms' logos and trademarks by illegitimate and illegal trading operations or 'boiler rooms'.
