Background:

Economists & Lawyers, which purports to have an office at the Spanish Embassy in the United Kingdom, offers a private placement program with high monthly returns.

We recently became aware that Economists & Lawyers sent an unsolicited e-mail message to a British Columbia (BC) resident, offering an opportunity to invest in its private placement program.

Economists & Lawyers is not registered to trade in, or advise on, securities or exchange contracts in BC.

We urge BC residents to exercise caution when dealing with firms that are not registered to trade or advise in BC.
