The following information is provided to help members of the public protect themselves against fraudulent activity involving institutions or individuals claiming to represent, or offer products or services on behalf of, ADS Securities LLC or its affiliates (collectively, “ADSS”).
LEXMT employees do not conduct LEXMT business via social media platforms (such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Telegram, Instagram or Twitter) or via public email services (such as Gmail or Hotmail). Rather LEXMT employees only use email managed through LEXMT registered domains. Under no circumstances would LEXMT and its employees initiate social media messages or emails from public email systems requesting individuals to disclose or confirm their confidential or personal information such as account details or passwords.
Furthermore, if you are contacted by individuals or institutions purporting to be from LEXMT, claiming to offer financial services, trading services, loans, requesting monetary deposits, or requesting information such as your account details, personal information or passwords, you should proceed with caution since these individuals or institutions may be engaging in fraud or identity theft. Accordingly, you should validate the relevant individuals or institutions identity before taking any further action including, without limitation, transferring funds or disclosing any information. If you believe that such persons are engaged in fraud or identity theft, you should report them to your local police authority.

LEXMT is aware that the LEXMT brand name is sometimes used to perpetrate different kinds of fraud. Some of these scams operate by fraudsters creating “lookalike” or “clone” websites of genuine LEXMT websites and others by fraudsters purporting to be LEXMT employees and requesting persons to transfer money in to fraudulent bank accounts. While we take no responsibility for the losses caused by such “lookalike” or “clone” websites or from fraudsters purporting to be employees of LEXMT, we are dedicated to reducing the instances of such fraud where possible. Accordingly, if you identify any suspicious websites or receive any suspicious messages, in each case, that purport to be related to LEXMT, please notify us by emailing [email protected] to or by calling +971 2 657 2300.
