Boom Securities (H.K.) Limited ("BOOM") wishes to alert investors to watch out for fake websites, faudulent mobile apps and scams impersonating BOOM on social media, messaging platforms, group chats.

Investors should be alerted to the possibility of scams. Always stay vigilant and do not disclose personal information or transfer money to unknown individuals or unverified entity.

When a random person from a group sends you a link to invest in stocks, it is often a "Pig-Butchering" or social engineering scam. Watch out for these critical red flags:

Unsolicited Investment Advice: A friend, acquaintance, or "wrong number" contact suddenly starts bragging about massive, unrealistic stock profits.

Private Registration Links: You are told to register and log in via a specific, private link sent through SMS, Whatsapp or social media.

Sideloaded App Downloads: The link bypasses the official Apple App Store or Google Play Store, forcing you to download an unverified installation profile or Android APK file.

Guaranteed High Returns: The platform promises zero-risk investments or insider information that guarantees profits.

Unusual Payment Methods: The platform requires you to fund your account using cryptocurrency, wire transfers to random individuals, or cash deposits.

The "Middleman" Trap: The contact insists on managing all deposits and account setups for you. This hands-on "help" is designed to isolate you and prevent you from contacting legitimate, official customer support.

Secrecy and Urgency: The contact pressures you to invest immediately and demands that you keep the opportunity a secret from your family.

Upfront Fees to Withdraw: The platform demands that you pay upfront taxes, legal fees or "security deposits" before you can withdraw funds.

Always contact us directly to verify our identity.
