Public Statement

Apex International Consulting Group (“AICG”)

www.apexintlservices.com (the “Website”)

(not connected in any way to Apex Trust Company Limited)

Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998, as amended (the “Financial Services Law”)

The Jersey Financial Services Commission (the “Commission”) issues this public statement

under Article 25(d) of the Financial Services Law.

This statement is made in order to warn investors and others against dealing with

unauthorised financial service providers. AICG has not received authorisation to conduct

financial services business within the meaning of the Financial Services Law.

The Commission has recently been made aware that AICG is offering investment advice to

Jersey residents through unsolicited telephone calls.

The Commission wishes the following to be known:

1. AICG has never been registered, nor applied for registration, under the Financial

Services Law. Therefore any financial service business, as defined in Article 2 of the

Financial Services Law and carried out by AICG since 1 July 1999, is in breach of

Article 7 of the Financial Services Law;

2. AICG and the Website are not connected in any way to Apex Trust Company Limited

and companies within the Apex group. In Jersey, Apex Trust Company is located at

Commercial House, Commercial Street, St. Helier, Jersey, JE4 8QS and is

authorised by the Commission to conduct regulated activities.

3. From documentation held by the Commission, it appears AICG and the Website

display warning signs of being set up for a fraudulent purpose.

All regulated businesses in Jersey are listed on our website.

Any person who has had dealings with AICG is requested to contact the Commission.
