Artane Partners Limited is registered in the Republic of Ireland with the Companies Registration Office (CRO no. 795432), holds a global Legal Entity Identifier (LEI 254900NULT3LTDELUK76) and a Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S number (768857829), and operates as a capital advisory firm and placement agent from 13 Adelaide Road, Dublin 2. Every one of those records sits on an independent public register: the Irish CRO record, the GLEIF LEI record and the D&B directory. We are not a bank or deposit-taker, we do not lend, and we never hold client or investor money - capital moves directly between investor and company. A firm that never touches your money cannot run off with it.
Impersonation fraud works by borrowing the credibility of a genuine, verifiable company. Scammers copy the names, logos and staff identities of real advisory firms to run fake job offers, fake investment opportunities and advance-fee schemes. The pattern is industry-wide: nearly every established financial institution publishes a fraud notice like this one. The existence of scam attempts that use a firm's name says nothing about the firm itself - what matters is whether the approach you received actually came from us, and that is easy to check.
Fake recruitment and job-offer messages
Fraudsters send unsolicited job or internship offers in the name of real firms, then ask for personal documents, upfront "processing" fees or account access. Genuine Artane Partners hiring communications come only from @artanepartners.com addresses, and we never charge candidates fees at any stage.
Fake investor or capital-raising outreach
Scammers pose as advisers with "guaranteed" investors or returns and demand fees to unlock them. Artane Partners never guarantees outcomes and never asks anyone to pay to "release", "unlock" or "guarantee" funds - that request is the signature of advance-fee fraud.
Cloned websites and lookalike domains
Watch the address bar. Our only websites are artanepartners.com and artanepartners.ie. A site that copies our branding on any other domain, or an email from a lookalike domain with letters swapped or added, is not us.
Fake social media profiles
Our official profiles are the LinkedIn company page linkedin.com/company/artanepartners and the handles @artanepartners on X and Instagram. Profiles claiming to represent us elsewhere, or unverifiable personal accounts messaging you about money, should be treated as suspect and confirmed with us first.
What Artane Partners will never do
We will never ask you to pay a fee to "release", "unlock" or "guarantee" funds. We will never ask you to transfer money on our behalf or take custody of your money. We will never ask for your passwords or for access to your personal accounts. We will never pressure you to decide immediately or to keep an approach secret. If an approach in our name does any of these things, it is fraudulent - do not act on it, and please tell us.

How to report a scam using our name
First, contact us through artanepartners.com - we will confirm quickly whether the approach was genuine, and a report helps us act against the impersonation.

Keep the original message: sender address, links and any documents help investigators.

The way to settle it is with the public record: check the Irish CRO register (no. 795432), the GLEIF LEI record (254900NULT3LTDELUK76) and the firm's published verification page, or simply contact the firm through artanepartners.com and ask.
