In a surprising turn of events, the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (FSC) has issued a stark warning against TONBRIDGE GLOBAL GROWTH LIMITED, a company falsely claiming to be a legitimate broker-dealer in investments.
According to the FSC, this firm has been masquerading as a licensed entity, deceitfully attracting customers and investors under the guise of being an authorized investment business. However, the truth unveiled by the FSC paints a very different picture. TONBRIDGE GLOBAL GROWTH LIMITED, it turns out, is operating without any license or regulatory oversight from the FSC, making its investment activities unauthorized and potentially risky for unsuspecting individuals.
The backstory of TONBRIDGE GLOBAL GROWTH LIMITED adds layers to this cautionary tale. Once recognized as a professional mutual fund, the company's certificate of recognition was revoked back on December 15, 2010. Matters worsened when the firm was struck from the Register of Companies in 2009, leading to its dissolution as a BVI Business Company on April 30, 2016.
Despite these setbacks, the company has continued to position itself as a viable player in the investment sector, misleading the public and potentially endangering the financial wellbeing of individuals and businesses considering dealings with them.
The FSC's announcement serves as a vital call to action for the public, urging extreme caution and advising against any form of engagement with TONBRIDGE GLOBAL GROWTH LIMITED. In an effort to safeguard the community and the integrity of the financial services industry in the territory, the FSC also encourages the public to come forward with any information related to dubious entities operating within the territory or engaging in improper activities.
Issued under the authority of Section 37A of the Financial Services Commission Act, this public statement by the FSC is a critical reminder of the vigilance necessary when navigating the investment landscape, especially in territories rich in financial services like the British Virgin Islands.
Residents and investors are reminded to verify the licensing and regulatory status of any firm before engaging in financial dealings, as the FSC continues its work to maintain a safe and regulated financial environment for all.
