OREANDA-NEWS. Renova Group warns against fraudulent activities of criminals pretending to be senior shareholders of Renova. According to the available information, several cases of fraud using fake site, fake business cards and other identifying features of Renova Group have been established.

Apparently a group of yet unidentified criminals, presumably originating from Eastern Europe, claim to be Vekselberg or Wekselberg or senior shareholders of Renova.

The criminals are reported to contact their victims by way of responding to their web advertisements (car dealers, sell of real estate, art collectors, investor search, etc.). The criminals use the following email addresses: info@renova-group.co.uk or vekselberg@gmx.co.uk, as well as fake business cards and a link to a fake copy of Renova's official website. They make offers to their victims on extremely appealing terms, provided they perform any type of cash deal (advance payment of commissions or currency exchange). The cheating occurs with the handover of money in different ways (by sleight-of-hand or by using counterfeit banknotes, so called Rip-Deals). The extent of damage is assumed to be above CHF 150'000.

Renova has immediately appealed to authorities to identify owners of the fake website and specifically warns against getting into any contact with these perpetrators. Renova is not and has never been involved in any of such machinations and recommends in case of getting into contact with a person claiming to be any member of Renova Group or its family to check the information through the contact given below.
