Investment Scam Warning (August 2025)
Highly convincing investment scams are on the increase. Aberdeen Investments have recently become aware of fraudsters using an unaffiliated company, “Aberdeen Capital” (along with Aberdeen Group branding) in WhatsApp groups aimed at defrauding individuals.
We have been made aware of a WhatsApp groups promoting unregulated investment schemes through a mobile app.
Aberdeen Investments together with our Regulators and law enforcement bodies constantly monitor for fraudulent activity. However, scams are ever evolving. It is therefore important to state:
- Aberdeen Investments and other Aberdeen Group companies do not conduct business through WhatsApp groups
- Aberdeen Investments does not provide investment business and services to individual investors in this country
- Aberdeen Investments does not solicit business through mobile apps, nor does it make a mobile app available to individual investors
Any investment communications issued by Aberdeen Investments will direct clients to our website www.aberdeeninvestments.com. Please also be wary of unsolicited calls, emails or letters offering unusually profitable investment opportunities. Always go to official sources for information, such as home pages of companies purporting to offer the investment and avoid following links embedded in unsolicited and informal communications.
