Recently, more and more customers have been alerting us to fake websites, emails, and texts about buying shares in Wise. These are scams, and should be ignored or reported.
Scams could link out to fake websites like this:
Fraudsters have been trying to phish Wise customer details via fake investment portals, allowing them to access accounts. Not good news.
Wise is becoming a public company—that's true. But always check https://wise.com/owners for details. Ignore all other websites
You might have heard from us about our OwnWise program. This is our customer shareholder program, and it's genuine. But again, if you want to read about it please visit https://wise.com/campaign/ownwise and ignore all other websites. Fraudsters might claim they are representing the OwnWise scheme in some way, and try to trick you into visiting a different website.
So if you get a fishy looking email or text, or even a call about signing up for Wise shares, ignore it, report it or email us to double check.
What to watch out for:
If you’re not sure if it’s from Wise, it’s probably not from Wise. In any case, you can always email us to confirm — look out for an @wise.com email address. We’ve also seen scammers posing as investment platforms.
What to do if you suspect a scam:
