The State Securities Commission advices people when receiving invitations to participate in securities investment forums and groups on cyberspace or download, install, and use trading applications.

Recently, there has been a market phenomenon where some individuals claiming to be employees of securities companies or fund management companies, calling to invite people to invest in securities by participating in forums and groups on social networks such as Facebook and Zalo or downloading, installing, and using trading applications.

Accordingly, these subjects introduce people to securities investment opportunities and invite participants to participate in forums and groups on social networks to receive advice on stock investment and stock trading or to download, install, and use trading applications.

Faced with the above situation, the State Securities Commission recommends raising awareness when receiving phone calls from strangers. Be careful and avoid being enticed to participate in applications, forums, and groups in cyberspace to invest in securities. When participating in the securities market, investors need to equip themselves with knowledge about securities, the securities market and find information related to the securities market through official channels of the management agency, market operators, and securities trading organizations with securities consulting and brokerage functions licensed by the State Securities Commission to avoid fraud and property appropriation.

If you suspect or detect individuals impersonating securities companies or fund management companies, providing false information, or performing other fraudulent acts, immediately notify the authorities for handling according to the provisions of the law.
