Valued Customer,

BOB Capital Markets Limited (BOBCaps) is firmly committed to the safety of your wealth. We would like to bring to your notice certain precautions that you certainly must take against potential tele-fraudsters/ unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers:

•   Do not act on dubious advice received via SMS/call /social media
•   Do not share Login Credentials or Passwords with anyone

ALWAYS AVOID

1. Sharing of trading credentials – login id & passwords including OTP’s.
2. Trading in leveraged products like options without proper understanding, which could lead to losses
3. Writing/ selling options or trading in option strategies based on tips, without basic knowledge & understanding of the product and its risks
4. Dealing in unsolicited tips through Whatsapp, Telegram, YouTube, Facebook, SMS, calls, etc.
5. Do not to subscribe to any scheme or products/arrangements offered by any entities and person, involving assured/guaranteed returns or unauthorized / unregistered portfolio management/Collective investment schemes.
6. Do not deal with intermediaries not registered with SEBI

Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits. Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns. Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices. At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer.

The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.

We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:

Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody

BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
