Investment & Trading Scam via WhatsApp/Telegram
Scammers add victims to WhatsApp or Telegram groups promising guaranteed returns on stock market investments. They show fake screenshots of profits and convince victims to invest through fraudulent apps or websites. Initial small returns are paid to build trust, then larger investments are lost.
How to Protect Yourself
- No investment guarantees fixed returns
- Only invest through SEBI-registered brokers
- Never invest based on WhatsApp/Telegram tips
- If returns seem too good to be true, they probably are
- Check SEBI website for registered intermediaries
