Warning: Beware of fake LGT accounts on SNS

There have been reports of accounts impersonating LGT staff on SNS, offering fake investment opportunities. Remain cautious and report any suspected fraud to the Financial Services Agency.

Date

It has come to our attention that there are fraudulent accounts on Social Networking Sites (SNS), pretending to represent LGT and advertising fake investment opportunities or asking for personal information. Please note that LGT will under no circumstances contact you on social media platforms (such as Line, X, Instagram, etc.) to conduct business or provide investment advice. We strongly advise you not to interact with any suspicious accounts on SNS, as they may lead you to unauthorised websites, request money and potentially misuse your personal data.

We are taking this matter very seriously and have reported the fraudulent accounts to the respective SNS company. However, please be aware that similar accounts and fake advertisements may appear again in the future.

If you suspect a scam or believe you might be a victim of fraud, please contact the following:
