Rewritten Article:
A Critical Alert for Investors
The Iranian Stock Exchange Organization has issued a critical public alert, warning citizens of a new wave of sophisticated financial scams proliferating on popular messaging platforms, particularly Telegram.
The Modus Operandi of Fraudsters
According to an official statement, unscrupulous individuals are actively exploiting the names and official branding of financial institutions licensed by the Securities and Exchange Organization. These entities include legitimate investment companies, mutual funds, and portfolio management firms.
The scammers operate by creating deceptive Telegram channels, where they illicitly use the names and even photographs of senior managers from these reputable institutions to build a false sense of trust among potential victims. Once confidence is established, they solicit cash deposits from the public by providing bank account numbers belonging to unidentified third parties. The true identities of these fraudsters remain concealed, making it difficult to track and apprehend them.
Official Guidance for Safe Investing
In light of these fraudulent activities, officials have emphasized the paramount importance of due diligence. Investors are strongly urged to exclusively use verified and official communication channels when engaging with any financial institution.
The public is directed to conduct all financial interactions through the official websites of these entities. A comprehensive and verified list of all licensed institutions and their correct web addresses is available on the official supervisory portal at cfi.seo.ir. Relying on this official source is the most effective way for investors to protect their capital and avoid falling victim to these malicious schemes.
