Chairman Datuk Syed Zaid Albar said of late, there has been a rise of “clone firm scams” where the fraudster would impersonate a legitimate licensed entity to dupe investors into believing that they are investing with a legitimate entity. “I would like to advice investors to always verify the individual and entity’s status with the SC before investing their monies in any investment schemes,” he said in his welcome remarks at the SC virtual InvestSmart Fest 2020 here today.
