Allianz Global Investors wishes to alert its clients and potential investors that the company names “Allianz” and “Allianz Global Investors” are being misused in connection with an attempted fraud scheme. The names “Allianz Private Investors”, “allianzrenewableenergy.com”, “Allianz Investor Relations”, “AllianzIR”, “allianzgi-invest.com”, “allianzhomeequity.com”, “allianzpi.com”, “merchantstrustb.com” or “AllianzGI Global Investors Limited” are also being used. These are fraudulent companies and should not be engaged with at all.
The company name of its parent company, Allianz UK, is also being misused. The company name “Allianz UK” has been cloned and is being used in connection with offering certain financial services which are unrelated to services provided by Allianz Global Investors. This is without our authority and has no link to Allianz Global Investors and appears to be fraudulent.
In addition, we confirm that “Key Features of the Allianz Bond and Allianz Managed Investment Bond” is fraudulent, and Allianz Global Investors is not in partnership with any High Street Banks.
The products and services offered by Allianz Global Investors can be accessed through the website uk.allianzgi.com or www.allianzglobalinvestors.co.uk
Anyone receiving “cold calls” in respect of “Allianz UK”, “Allianz Global Investors”, “Allianz Private Investors”, “allianzrenewableenergy.com”, “Allianz Investor Relations”, “AllianzIR”, “allianzgi-invest.com”, “allianzhomeequity.com”, “allianzpi.com”, “merchantstrustb.com”, “AllianzGI Global Investors Limited” or “Allianzinvest.com“ should not divulge any personal data or make any payments.
If you are offered any products which cannot be found on the Allianz Global Investors website, please contact Allianz Global Investors directly using contact details which are found independently (i.e. not on an email/ contact provided by the fraudsters).
