Did You Know? Scammers Are Targeting Investors More Than Ever

Did you know that online scams targeting investors are on the rise? Fraudsters are becoming increasingly sophisticated—using emails, texts, and even fake websites to trick people into sharing personal information or sending money. At Prittie Private Wealth & Mandeville Private Client Inc., protecting your assets goes beyond markets as we also want to safeguard you from these growing digital threats.

Common Red Flags to Watch For:

• Urgency or pressure tactics: Scammers often insist you “Act now” to avoid missing out.
• Unsolicited messages: Be cautious with unexpected emails, texts, or phone calls about investments.
• Too-good-to-be-true offers: Promises of high returns with little or no risk are almost always a scam.
• Look-alike links: Fraudsters may create fake websites or emails that closely mimic legitimate institutions.

Cyber Safety Best Practices for You

• Use unique, strong passwords for financial accounts (a password manager can help).
• Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible.
• Always verify website URLs before logging in.
• Contact us directly if you ever receive a suspicious message that appears to come from our office.

How We Keep Our Client Portal and Mandeville Vault Secure

Your peace of mind is our priority, which is why we have invested in best-in-class cybersecurity for both the Mandeville Vault and our Wealth Access client portal.

Mandeville Vault: What We Do vs. What It Means for You

The Mandeville Vault, built in partnership with FutureVault, incorporates the highest security and privacy standards to protect your most important documents. Security features include:

What We Do	What It Means for You
Bank-grade 2048-bit TLS 1.2 encryption for all data in transit	Your information is locked with the same security banks use when it’s being sent online. Even if someone intercepted it, they couldn’t read it.
256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data at rest	Your files are scrambled with one of the strongest protection methods available when stored. Nobody can read them without the special digital key.
Third-party compliance with CIS, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 Type 1 standards	Independent experts test and certify that our systems meet strict security rules used across the financial world. It’s not just us saying we’re secure — it’s verified.
Advanced activity tracking and full fiduciary audit trails	Every action in your Vault is logged, so there’s always a clear record of who accessed or shared something. Nothing happens without a trace.
Disaster recovery and continuous vulnerability testing to prevent interruptions	Your data is safely backed up so it won’t be lost in an emergency, and our systems are constantly tested to block hackers before they get in.

Wealth Access Client Portal Security: What We Do vs. What It Means for You

Our Wealth Access client portal provides a secure gateway to view and manage your portfolio. We use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify identity at login, ensuring only you can access your account. The platform is powered by institutional-grade analytics and supported by rigorous infrastructure, including:

What We Do	What It Means for You
Mobile phone confirmation and MFA for secure login	You confirm your identity with your phone and an extra code when logging in. This makes it almost impossible for anyone else to get into your account, even if they have your password.
Robust business continuity and disaster recovery safeguards	Your access to the portal won’t be disrupted even in emergencies because data is safely backed up and recovery systems are in place.
Secure integration with Mandeville Vault for document sharing	Sensitive documents are stored and shared through the Vault instead of email, keeping your information in a protected environment.
24/7 monitored, cloud-based systems backed by industry-leading partners	The system is monitored around the clock by top-tier security experts to keep your information safe at all times.

Bottom line: Staying alert and practicing good digital habits can help protect your personal and financial information. And remember—we’re here to answer any questions or concerns you may have. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and reach out to us.
