False Ads Impersonating CNBC-Awaaz's Anuj Singhal Flood Social Media, Channel Issues Alert

CNBC-Awaaz has issued an alert about fraudulent activities involving the misuse of the name of Anuj Singhal, the channel’s managing editor, by cyber criminals. There have been instances where individuals were deceived through false advertisements and investment schemes on social media, particularly Facebook and Instagram, claiming to be associated with Anuj Singhal and CNBC-Awaaz.

Singhal does not provide any investment advice or recommendations through WhatsApp groups or any other social media platform. He is not associated with any group offering stock recommendations or financial advice in exchange for joining a WhatsApp group. CNBC-Awaaz and Singhal are not involved in any such activities, and people are urged to exercise caution and report any suspicious activities immediately.

It has come to light that fake profiles impersonating Anuj Singhal are being used to lure investors with promises of high returns and misleading claims about his involvement with brokerage firms. While these profiles may look like Singhal’s at first, a closer look at the handle name, follower count and posts can reveal their fraudulent nature. The public is strongly advised to be wary of such schemes and not to share personal or financial information with unknown individuals or groups.

To avoid falling victim to such fraud, it is recommended to ignore advice from unknown sources, verify information from official sources, and maintain secure practices for personal and financial transactions. It is important not to trust any information shared through unofficial channels and sources. In case of any suspicious activity, CNBC-Awaaz advises people to report it to the appropriate authorities immediately.

For further information and to report fraudulent activities, please visit www.cybercrime.gov.in or contact the helpline number – 1930 – or the cyber cell of the local police department.
