The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) has cautioned investors against fraudulent activities linked to two Telegram channels offering stock market tips and assured returns, which are prohibited in the securities market.
NSE says a Telegram Channel named ‘Stock Share Market Trading’, having the link
https://t.me/stock_share_market_options_calls, is providing securities market tips, assured and guaranteed returns on investment in the stock market and offering account handling services to the investors.
Additionally, NSE says a person named ‘Vijay Kumar’ operating through mobile number +91-9672976524 is using a Telegram Channel named ‘Trade with Logic (Index+Stock)’ with a link http://t.me/Stock_Trade_With_Logic_Index is providing securities market tips, assured and guaranteed returns on investment in stock market. He is also offering to handle the trading accounts of the investors by asking investors to share their login ID and password.
Such claims are misleading and violate regulatory norms, as no entity is permitted to assure returns in the stock market, NSE says.
The exchange has expressed serious concern over the practice of asking investors to share sensitive trading credentials such as login IDs and passwords. Such actions expose investors to significant financial risk and potential misuse of their accounts.
NSE has clarified that Mr Kumar, the two Telegram channels or associated entities are not registered as a trading member or authorised person with the exchange. Any dealings with unregistered entities can leave investors without regulatory protection or recourse in case of disputes or fraud, it says.
“Investors are strongly advised not to subscribe to any schemes or services that promise indicative, assured, or guaranteed returns in the securities market. These offerings are not only misleading but also illegal under existing regulations,” the exchange says.
The exchange has urged market participants to exercise due diligence before engaging with any broker or intermediary. Investors should verify the registration status of entities through the official know/locate your stockbroker facility available on the NSE website.
Additionally, NSE has highlighted that details of designated client bank accounts of registered trading members are also available on its platform. Investors should cross-check these details to ensure that their funds are being transferred to legitimate and authorised accounts, it added.
The warning comes amid a rise in fraudulent schemes being circulated through social media platforms like Telegram, where unsuspecting investors are lured with promises of quick and guaranteed profits.
NSE has reiterated that safeguarding personal and financial information is crucial. Investors must refrain from sharing confidential information with unknown persons and promptly report suspicious activities to the relevant authorities, it says.
