WhatsApp Financial Sharing and Money-Making Advice Group

There has been a noticeable increase in money-making and get-rich investment schemes on social media platforms, where irresponsible groups purportedly share untrustworthy money-generating tips and experiences. Recently, Berjaya Corporation Berhad ("BCorp", "The Company" and "Group of Companies") came across an alleged financial sharing and knowledge WhatsApp Group called "detlta-1101workgroup52" or "delta-409workgroup10", bearing The Company's logo.

We urge the public to exercise caution when interacting with members of this WhatsApp group and to be sceptical of any financial advice rendered or opportunities presented within the WhatsApp group.

The Company takes the protection of its reputation and intellectual property rights seriously. If you have been a victim of this fraudulent WhatsApp group or have any information pertaining to its activities, we kindly request that you report the WhatsApp group or to any local law enforcement or relevant agencies.

Berjaya Corporation Berhad Founder & Advisor Associated with CryptoBot Online Platform

There have been reports that Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, Founder & Advisor of Berjaya Corporation Berhad (“BCorp” or “The Company”) is associated with a cryptocurrency trading platform known as CryptoBot (https://my01.sys-btc.com/ggmy1). We are issuing this fraud alert to warn the general public that there is no evidence to support these claims and that CryptoBot is likely a fraudulent attempt to deceive the public.

CryptoBot is an online crypto exchange that promises users high returns on their cryptocurrency investments. Unfortunately, there is no information pertaining to the operator and the owner of the alleged exchange, and there is no evidence that it is a legitimate business. In fact, there are many red flags to suggest that CryptoBot is an alleged scam, including:

• CryptoBot makes unrealistic promises of high returns with little risk.
• CryptoBot does not disclose its fees or trading strategies.
• CryptoBot uses fake testimonials and celebrity endorsements.
• CryptoBot is difficult to contact.

We urge the public to be wary of any investment opportunities that are associated with Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, The Company or CryptoBot. If you have been contacted by someone offering you investment opportunities in connection with these individuals or entities, please do not provide them with any personal or financial information.

If you have already invested in CryptoBot and believe that you may have been a victim of fraud, please contact your local relevant law enforcement agency.

Investor Sharing Group Impersonating Berjaya Founder & Advisor on Instagram

Berjaya Corporation Berhad ("BCorp" or "Company") has recently discovered an Investment Sharing Group on an Instagram Sponsored Story. This group claims that BCorp’s Founder & Advisor, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, is thanking the public for their support and inviting them to join the group. The group promises free investment advice, sharing of investing experiences, and the opportunity to earn greater profits in the stock market.  

We want to emphasize that our Founder & Advisor has no connection to the alleged Instagram Sponsored Story and does not endorse or participate in any Investment Sharing Group on social media. This is a clear attempt by an unscrupulous third party with malicious intentions to deceive and mislead the public by impersonating our Founder & Advisor.

We strongly advise the general public to exercise caution and refrain from engaging or associating with the alleged Investment Sharing Group and the Sponsored Story on Instagram. BCorp will not be held responsible or liable for any personal or financial losses incurred by individuals or parties as a result of these fraudulent groups and practices.
