Mumbai, Dec 11 (NationPress) - On Thursday, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) issued a cautionary notice to investors regarding five individuals: Krishnam Raju, Pratiban, Pooja Sharma, Aman, and M Amit, who are implicated in providing unauthorized investment advice.
The NSE stated that these individuals are reportedly managing investors' trading accounts and guaranteeing returns. They operate through YouTube channels such as Profit Trading, Trade Room Official, Profit Maximisers, and various social media platforms.
According to an official release from NSE, it was brought to their attention that the aforementioned individuals are involved in offering unauthorized securities market tips and soliciting login credentials from investors, all while promising returns and engaging in dabba trading or illegal trading services.
The NSE further advised investors against subscribing to any schemes or products that promise assured returns in the stock market, as such practices are illegal.
“Investors should refrain from sharing their trading credentials, including user IDs and passwords, with anyone,” the exchange emphasized. It also highlighted that these individuals are not registered as members or Authorized Persons of any NSE-registered member.
Last month, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) similarly warned investors regarding an unauthorized organization named EZInvest, which was involved in disseminating investment recommendations and collecting funds from the public for trading in the equity market.
The BSE noted that this entity is not registered and is allegedly engaged in unauthorized activities such as providing investment advice without proper SEBI or Exchange registration and soliciting funds for trading in various securities, including Indian Listed Equity Shares.
“It is crucial to verify the credentials of any adviser before acting on their recommendations,” the BSE stated.
Both exchanges urge investors to be vigilant and conduct thorough due diligence before engaging with any investment advisors.
