Fraud Warning We are aware of scams that occur from time to time in which third parties target members of the public by falsely using PIMCO’s name in an attempt to commit fraud. These scams may involve individuals purporting to be from PIMCO and promoting fraudulent investments and cryptocurrency-related services via telephone or messaging services. We are warning clients and investors that any such activity is completely unaffiliated with PIMCO. PIMCO’s legitimate email domains are: @pimco.com, @uk.pimco.com, @de.pimco.com, @Pimcopre.com and @azoa.com. If you have been contacted by someone purporting to be from PIMCO who you do not recognise using a domain which is not on the list or if you have any other security concerns relating to any other communications purportedly from PIMCO, please forward the email to fraud@pimco.com. We strongly advise that if contacted by persons whom you do not recognize, you do not take any action and do not share any personal information including bank details. If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, we advise you to report it immediately to your bank and to the Police.
