The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) warns the public to be cautious when conducting financial services business with Forex Private Jet Injectors (FPJI) and Kabelo Emanuel Mogale (Mogale).
It has come to the attention of the FSCA that Mogale and FPJI operate as forex services providers.
Mogale and FPJI provide trading signals in respect of forex to members of the public through social media platforms.
The FSCA points out that persons offering advice and intermediary services in respect of financial products on behalf of South African citizens are required to be authorised by the FSCA.
Mogale and FPJI are not authorised in terms of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 2002 (FAIS Act), to render financial advice and intermediary services.
Mogale and FPJI could not be contacted.
Members of the public should always check that an entity or individual is authorised by the FSCA to provide financial products and services, including for giving recommendations about how to invest.
It is also important to know what category of advice the person is registered to provide, as there are instances where companies or people are registered to provide basic advice for a lowrisk product and then offer advice on far more complex and risky products.
Getting poor financial advice can bring severe harm to investors.
