The scamsters used the official licence issued to ADS Securities to avoid any fraudulent practices by unknown entities.
“The SCA calls on all investors to verify the truth of the entity that they deal with before signing any agreements or making any financial transfers and to refer to the data of licensed companies published on SCA’s website,” the regulator said in an advisory.
Authorities in the UAE issue advisory to investors and residents, asking them to source information from reliable sources and check the authenticity of e-mails and messages sent to them through different channels so they don’t become victims of fraud.
Earlier, the SCA called on investors to refrain from dealing with Platinum FX company in relation to any activities that are subject to the authority's supervision as the company has not obtained the necessary licence to practice any such activities. “As such, SCA disclaims any responsibility for any dealings with this company in this regard,” said the regulator.
