Fraud and cybersecurity awareness
Fraud is an issue that impacts companies of all sizes, industries, and jurisdictions. Imposters and cyber-criminals may misuse our name, brand, and names of our employees, or may publish fake websites or use unofficial communication channels such as WhatsApp messages or channels to seek personal or confidential information, or to further financial crimes.
Pollen Street does not solicit investment from retail investors and will never request money or bank account details using a phone call, via social media, or through instant messaging platforms such as Linkedin, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
Please note the following when communicating with Pollen Street which may help you recognise and avoid common scams:
- The following addresses are the only authorised Pollen Street websites and email domains:
- Phishing emails may come addresses that resemble legitimate ones. Always check the email address of any sender, our emails will only come from an address that ends with the domains “pollencap.com” or "pollenstreetgroup.com".
- Our office addresses can be found under the contact section of each of our websites.
- Pollen Street will never ask for your password or login details to any of our fund portals, or to your bank accounts.
- Be sceptical of unsolicited emails, text messages, phone calls, or invites to WhatsApp channels. We do not solicit investment using cold-calling, bulk emails or WhatsApp.
