The Securities Commission of Malaysia (SC) has issued a warning against fraudulent letters and emails impersonating its name. These false letters and emails are believed to be related to illegal investment plans, attempting to demand payments from unsuspecting investors.

SC emphasized that scammers impersonate their staff and make false promises, claiming to help victims recover losses but requiring payment of fees. The regulatory agency has made it clear that it will not support any investment plans or solicit payments from the public in this manner. SC regards these impersonation behaviors as serious crimes and damages the public's trust in legitimate financial institutions.

SC has taken immediate action to address this situation. It has submitted a police report to the relevant personnel and added the entities involved to its investor warning list, which can be publicly accessed on its website. SC encourages the public to access its investor alert list (www.sc. com. my/investor alert list) to identify potential fraudulent entities and protect themselves.

To further protect investors, SC recommends that the public verify the legality of any investment proposal through its official investment inspection tool (www.sc. com. my/investment checker). This tool helps users confirm the authenticity of their investment plans, ensuring that they do not become victims of fraud.

SC also urges those who receive suspicious payment requests claiming to come from its office or staff to verify their communication by contacting the SC Consumer and Investor Office. Individuals can communicate through email（ aduan@seccom.com.my ）Or call 03-6204 8999 to report or confirm the legality of any claim.
