1. Purpose
VSF Holdings Corporation ("VSF," "we," "us," or "our") takes fraud seriously and is committed to protecting our clients, partners, and the public from fraudulent activity carried out in our name or in connection with our brand. This notice explains how to identify legitimate communications from VSF and what to do if you suspect fraud.
2. Impersonation and Spoofing
Fraudsters may attempt to impersonate VSF Capital Structuring or VSF Holdings Corporation by:
- Using email addresses that resemble but do not match our official domain, such as variations or misspellings of @vsfholdings.com
- Creating fake websites, social media profiles, or documents that use our name, logo, or branding
- Posing as VSF representatives over phone, email, or messaging platforms
- Presenting forged engagement letters, term sheets, or other documents purportedly from VSF
3. How to Identify Legitimate VSF Communications
All official communications from VSF Capital Structuring will:
- Come from an email address ending in @vsfholdings.com
- Never ask you to send funds to a personal bank account or third-party account without a formal, verified engagement agreement in place
- Never pressure you to act immediately or discourage you from seeking independent legal or financial advice
- Never request payment of upfront fees via wire transfer, cryptocurrency, gift cards, or other non-traceable methods as a condition of securing financing
If you receive a communication that claims to be from VSF but does not meet these criteria, treat it as suspicious.
4. Advance Fee Fraud
A common fraud scheme in the capital markets and financing space involves promises of large loans, credit facilities, or investment capital in exchange for upfront fees, often framed as administrative fees, insurance, taxes, or deposits. VSF will never solicit unsolicited upfront payments of this nature. If someone claiming to represent VSF has asked you for such a payment, you may be the target of an advance fee fraud scheme.
5. What to Do If You Suspect Fraud
If you believe you have been contacted by someone fraudulently claiming to represent VSF Capital Structuring or VSF Holdings Corporation:
- Do not send money or personal information
- Contact us directly at info@vsfholdings.com to verify the communication
- Report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca or by calling 1-888-495-8501
- Contact your local police if you have already suffered a financial loss
6. Our Commitment
VSF Holdings Corporation will never threaten, pressure, or penalize anyone for reporting suspected fraud or asking questions about the legitimacy of a communication. We are committed to responding promptly to all fraud-related inquiries submitted to info@vsfholdings.com.
