Brightstar website cloned

Brightstar Financial

Brightstar Financial has had its website cloned by fraudsters under the name of Goldenstar Financial, and is warning brokers not to let their clients be duped by it.

The specialist lending distributor has reported the matter to the police and the regulatory authorities and is working to get the website taken down as soon as possible.

The cloned site is www.goldenstarfnhome.com/contact-us/index.html.

Rob Jupp, Brightstar’s CEO, said the fraudsters have lifted the content of Brightstar’s own website in almost all its aspects and just changed the name and the contact details.

He said: “It is important that the lending industry acts quickly against this kind of criminal activity and we have done everything we can with the relevant authorities to make sure the website is closed. I would urge every one of our introducers, lender partners, the wider broker community and our fellow distributor packagers to help us make it as difficult as possible for these parasites to gain even the smallest foothold in our industry to perpetrate fraud against our customers.

“If anyone has any information which might help us to end this as soon as possible, please get in touch – 01277 500900 – Option 1.”
