SCAM ALERT!

Have you received calls or emails from people claiming to represent Herald Investment Trust? They don’t! It’s a scam.

They’ll say they can get back – for an upfront fee – money you lost investing in binary options and carbon credits or in unregulated investment schemes now being wound up in the High Court - like Essex & London Properties, African Land, or Manor Rose Limited. They can’t! Don’t send them any money! Call Herald Investment Management immediately on 020 7553 6300 and ask to speak to one of our compliance team.
