peck Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I keep getting calls about some share i used to own, they keep asking if i want to sell my shares in this particular company. I am fairly sure that i sold all my shares in this company some years ago but with getting asked several times if i want to sell them how do i go about finding out whether i own any of these shares or not.

I imagine you can contact the Registrar of the company - who will be listed on the company's website (see possibly under investor relations). I am not sure what ID or proof they may need to see before searching for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good shot? Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 If you still had shares I would have thought you would have had dividend statements yearly from the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I’m surprised you’re getting calls about it. I own a few shares in a couple of companies where I’ve sold most of the holdings but had misplaced a couple of certificates, they write to me once a year asking if I want to sell the remaining ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 😂 Just watch out if you do have shares - the broker could be encouraging you to sell if there’s a good catalyst coming up and the shares are in short supply.

It sounds to me like a hostile take over is being planned. Thats about the only reason somebody would be trawling for shares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
