Regulator warns on British firm

THE Financial Regulator yesterday issued a warning to Irish businesses and consumers not to invest in British-registered Marcus Jones International.

This is the latest in a series of warnings the regulator has issued in recent years, with the volume having increased since the onset of the current global recession.

“The firm is not authorised as an investment firm in Ireland and has been offering investment services to members of the Irish public. The notice is published today in Irish daily newspapers under the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007,” the Financial Regulator said in a statement issued yesterday.
