Lion Global Investors Limited (UEN/Registration No. 198601745D) (“LGI”) has become aware of scams in which unauthorised third parties impersonate as or claim to be associated with 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 or be associated with LGI, to solicit personal information and/or investments for fraudulent purposes. In the most recent scams, online group chats, mobile applications, and websites falsely claiming to originate from, represent or be associated with LGI were used to defraud investors in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Japan 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 such 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 conducts regulated business activities only in jurisdictions where it is licensed to do so, which are Singapore and Brunei.
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
4. YouTube: youtube.com/@LionGlobalInvestors
Other than the above official channels, any website, social media account or application software that purports to originate from LGI, claims to be associated with 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.
