News

We have been made aware that a third party may be fraudulently impersonating GC Partners under the name of ‘Custodia’ via this website https://custod.org/.  GC Partners is not associated with this organisation in any way.  If you are contacted by anyone claiming to represent GC Partners and are unsure of their legitimacy, please contact us directly before making any payments or sharing personal information.

How to protect yourself

  • Pause before acting: Genuine organisations will never pressure you to act urgently or bypass normal checks. If you feel like you are being put under pressure to act, step away. 
  • Verify independently: If you receive a request that seems unusual, even if it appears to come from a business you recognise, call the company directly using a number you already have on file, not one provided in the message. 
  • Guard personal details: Genuine businesses will never ask you to share passwords, PINs, or one-time codes. 
  • Be sceptical of unsolicited investment opportunities, particularly those promising high, guaranteed returns. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. 
  • Talk to us: If anything regarding a payment feels off, however small, please reach out. There is no such thing as a silly question when it comes to protecting your assets.

Where to find reliable information

You can always search official business registers such as Companies House, the Financial Conduct Authority or even Google/Google News to see whether there is any third-party reference to a business entity. While scammers are getting more sophisticated, they don’t tend to stay under the radar for long. Independent third-party searches may reveal whether others have already had dealings with the company you are speaking to.

Our commitment to you

We are committed to ensuring you have the information and support you need to make informed decisions and avoid foreseeable harm. If you ever have concerns about a communication claiming to be from us, or relating to any payment you intend to make with us, please contact your usual GC Partners representative directly.
