The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) warns the public against the activities of Alfa One Corporation, a company that offers investment services.

Alfa One Corporation is not an authorized investment firm in Belgium. It is therefore not allowed to provide investment services in or from Belgium.

Moreover, according to the information available to the FSMA, the activities proposed could be of a fraudulent nature, i.e. boiler room fraud. More information on this form of fraud is available in the general warning published by the FSMA on 4 May 2016.

The FSMA thus strongly advises against responding to any offer of financial service made by Alfa One Corporation and against transferring money to any account number it might mention.

According to information in the FSMA’s possession, the investors contacted by Alfa One Corporation had previously invested with Micron Associates, a company about which the FSMA issued a warning on 24 April 2012.
