Computershare employs a wide range of security measures to ensure that your transactions and information are protected. However please be aware that fraudulent emails have been distributed which appear to be sent from Computershare, requesting you to provide private/commercially sensitive information.
One of the most prevalent methods of scams is phishing. "Phishing:" (pronounced fishing ) emails are used by fraudsters to trick people into revealing personal information such as bank account details. They then use this information for illegal purposes, such as transferring funds or purchasing goods. Phishing emails will look as though they come from a bank or other financial institution, and may include links to a convincing replica home page. Never click on a link in an email that looks suspicious.
