Bursa Malaysia categorically denies issuing this communication.

In a statement, the exchange said the most recent scam noted is on WhatsApp, where recipients are prompted to follow up on their trading accounts or join a WhatsApp group by calling a name and mobile number provided in the WhatsApp message.

Bursa Malaysia further advised members of the public to be vigilant when approached by parties misrepresenting themselves as the exchange, its employees or endorsed third-party agents. It added that other recent scams include using names and photographs of Bursa Malaysia’s top management to entice the public to invest in unauthorised investment schemes.

"Bursa Malaysia would also like to remind members of the public to only invest with licensed investment professionals," it added.
