Gold Fields Ltd., a major gold mining company, warned Thursday that there were several Web sites that use Gold Fields branding and purport to be investment vehicles on behalf of the company.

The fraudulent Web sites that have been brought to our attention include: www.goldfields-inc.com; http://www.goldfieldsint/. com; www.goldfields-indonesia.com and could be part of a number of Web sites that are unlawfully using Gold Fields' trademarks and logos, Gold Fields said in a statement.

The only Gold Fields Ltd. Web site is: http://www.goldfields.co.za.
