Phishing

Fraudsters, by pretending to be a trustworthy company and or presenting themselves as an employee through the same email addresses, are frequently trying to obtain your personal data. Watch out for suspicious emails where the domains appear similar to an official source but with a tweak. There are spelling errors or incorrect formatting in these mails.

Secure browsing

Check that the website's domain always starts with ‘https:// secured’.

Viruses and malware

Do not download files or programs from unknown sources to any of your devices.

Disclosing data

Never share your password or sensitive account information with anyone, such as your credit card number. These details would not be requested by Banyan Grow.com or any of the known companies. In addition, if your data is at risk of being available to third party malware or hackers, you should not store it on unguarded equipment.

Majority of Regulators

Before doing business with any investment firm, it is necessary that you consult the relevant regulatory authority's website in your country to find out which entities are authorized to offer investment services and financial activities as well as their approved areas of activity. In addition, it is important to note that the majority of Regulators keep authorized and unauthorized domains which are useful for ascertaining if a domain has been authorized by them.
