Business Wire
Gladstone Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:GAIN) ("Gladstone") today
announced that it has recently learned that an unrelated company
using the name "Gladstone Investments Corp." ("GIC") and
purportedly located in Clearwater, Florida appears to be engaging
in several fraudulent loan schemes. Gladstone is also informed that
some victims of these schemes are being referred to a website
located at www.GladstoneCorp.net, which appears to be operated by
GIC. Please be advised that neither Gladstone nor its affiliates
are in any way associated with GIC or with the website referenced
above. Gladstone does not contact individuals by telephone to
solicit or offer personal loans, nor does it extend personal loans
to individuals. Further, Gladstone never collects personal
information over the telephone. Anyone receiving an e-mail or
telephone call regarding loan services allegedly being offered by
"Gladstone" can and should verify the authenticity of such
communication by calling Gladstone directly at (703) 287-5800. If
you feel that you have been a victim of the fraud referenced above,
or believe that you have been contacted by GIC or its employees,
please contact your state's financial services regulator or
Attorney General's office to report the same. Additionally, as the
GIC website referenced above can be traced to an individual or
entity located in Canada, you should also contact the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police to report any suspected fraud relating to
this matter at (888) 495-8501. We have been informed that the State
of Florida is aware of GIC. You may wish to report any suspected
fraud relating to this matter to the Florida Department of
Financial Services at (850) 413-3089. Gladstone Investment
