Financial scams are on the rise, and it’s important to be aware of the warning signs. Fraudsters use clever tactics to gain access to your money, so always be skeptical of unsolicited calls or emails. Remember, if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Protect yourself by doing your research, asking questions, and never giving out personal or financial information to strangers. Stay vigilant and stay safe.
Lately, there has been a cloned identity of Alpine Advisory, wherein unsuspecting individuals are added to a WhatsApp group that bears the company’s logo and name, such as Alpine Advisory 135. The scammer typically poses as the group admin and may request victims to make payments, among other things. It’s crucial to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of any such communication before divulging personal or financial information.
