Millenniums Financial Services CC is not authorised in terms of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 2002 (FAIS Act), to render any financial advice and intermediary services.
The FSB has received information that Millenniums Financial Services CC is using a fake FSB certificate to dupe the public into believing that it is a registered FSP and provide financial services illegally.
The copies of the certificate shown to unsuspecting members of the are faked from the original certificate of Econorisk Administration Services (Pty) Ltd – FSP 24171 – with its name replaced by Millenniums Financial Services CC.
Econorisk Administration Services (Pty) Ltd is authorised in terms of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 2002 (“FAIS Act”), to render financial advice and intermediary services.

The FSB again reminds consumers who wish to conduct financial services with an institution or person to check beforehand with the FSB on either the toll free number (0800 110 443) or on the website www.fsb.co.za as to whether or not such institution or person is authorised to render financial services.
