While Unicorn Blue is aware that corrupt individuals have used our firm’s name and our officers’ names to attempt to perpetrate criminal scams on innocent victims, Unicorn Blue is not responsible for a third party’s conduct or liable for damages caused by their conduct.

We are not the only company in the digital and offline world that has fallen victim to identity fraud. It happens. The positive takeaway when such unpleasantness happens is to be transparent of one’s professionalism, competency and honesty. Once such committed steps have been taken, it is up to the intelligence and good sense of visitors and potential clients to either accept our best intentions, or not. 

For your security and protection, we ask that you are extremely vigilant when you receive any request for information or action that you think might be fraudulent, whether via email, phone or traditional mail. Fraudsters do not:

• follow a generally accepted legal, business or financial process
• qualify the quality and background of potential clients
• recommend clients to be vigilant 
• provide appropriate legal advice disclaimers
• invest in out of office hours continued professional development training
• use qualified and regulated accountants, lawyers, bankers and other professionals in their assignments
• take steps to be transparent and keep pace with evolving business practice

Finally, please pay close attention to the grammar and spelling of any emails or literature you receive from anyone purporting to be from Unicorn Blue. Costanzo Ferraro is a qualified English teacher; he attended public school in the United Kingdom – where he was born, raised and educated.
