Investment Warning - Updates

The following investment firms have been added to the respect financial regulator warning lists.

Liberty Advisory Group Inc

Kredittilsynet has been informed that Liberty Advisory Group Inc

Has approached Norwegian investors offering to purchase shares on their behalf subject to payment of an advance fee. The company also offers services from a website www.libertyadvisorygroup.com

Kredittilsynet wishes to make it clear that Liberty Advisory Group Inc is not authorised to provide investment services in Norway, and therefore lacks the licence required under Norwegian law.

Kredittilsynet therefore recommends investors not to enter into agreements with or transfer assets to Liberty Advisory Group Inc.
