The Central Bank of Ireland today published a warning notice on Milestone AMG.
This firm is not authorised as an investment firm in Ireland and has been offering investment services in the State. The notice is published today in Irish daily newspapers under the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007, the financial sector watchdog said.
It is a criminal offence for an investment firm to operate in Ireland unless it has an authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. Clients of unauthorised firms are not eligible for compensation from the Investor Compensation Scheme, the Central Bank warned.
"Any person wishing to contact the Central Bank of Ireland with information regarding such firms may telephone (01) 224 4000. This line is also available to the public to check if an investment firm is authorised. Since obtaining the necessary legal powers in August 1998, 96 warnings naming 185 firms have been issued."
