IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Fraudulent WhatsAppTM Messages
We have become aware that a WhatsApp™ “investment forum” is impersonating financial services organizations in an attempt to obtain client credentials or lure prospects into making a fraudulent investment. Neither Kingsview Partners nor any of its Wealth Managers use WhatsApp™ to communicate with clients.
If you believe you may have been a victim of fraudulent activity on WhatsApp™, file a report by visiting https://www.ic3.gov/ or by contacting your local FBI field office. To help you safeguard yourself in online forums, please be aware of the following:
- Kingsview Partners will never communicate or solicit investments to existing or prospective clients through a social media site or app. We will never ask for login credentials.
- Kingsview Partners communicates securely with existing and prospective clients only through firm-approved channels. Those channels may be secure Outlook email, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, phone calls, SMS (from their office number only) and face-to-face.
- If you receive a suspicious text message or suspect fraud, please contact your Kingsview Partners’ advisor and law enforcement immediately. Do not follow through with any comments or instructions that are being asked of you.
