Lion Global Investors Limited (UEN/Registration No. 198601745D) (“LGI”) has become aware of scams in which unauthorised third parties impersonate as LGI in attempts to commit fraud.  These scams involve the use of websites, social media channels or application software and individuals falsely claiming to represent LGI, to solicit personal information and/or investments for fraudulent purposes.  In the most recent scams, online group chats and mobile applications purportedly from LGI were used to defraud investors in Hong Kong and Malaysia by luring them into making investment transactions and payment. 

LGI wishes to alert clients, business partners and members of the public to be wary of impersonation scams perpetuated through websites, social media channels or application software.  LGI’s products are sold to the general public via its appointed third-party distributors which are regulated and licensed by local authorities.   LGI does not perform cold calls or send unsolicited messages to sell any of its investment products. LGI does not conduct and is not licensed to conduct any regulated business activity in Malaysia and Hong Kong.

As scams and fraud can take many forms, such as calls, text messages, emails, websites and these forms are constantly evolving, we urge all potential investors to remain vigilant and exercise caution.

Below are currently the only official channels to access information regarding LGI and its investment products: 

1. Lion Global Investors Official Website: www.lionglobalinvestors.com

2. Facebook: facebook.com/LionGlobalInvestors


3. LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/lionglobalinvestors

4YouTube: youtube.com/@LionGlobalInvestors

Other than the above official channels, any website, social media account or application software that purports to originate from LGI, or claims to be able to transact with or make payment to LGI, is not authorised by LGI and any information therein may be false and fraudulent. 

Please note that no investments can be transacted with, and no payment can be made to LGI, via any of its official channels. LGI also does not have an application software at this stage.

Any call, text message, email, website, social media channel or application that requests or enables you to purchase any investment product from LGI or to make payment to LGI should be treated with extreme caution.  LGI accepts no responsibility for any costs, information leakage, monetary or other losses suffered by investors as a result of such scams.
