*Please be careful, there’s a WhatsApp scam going around

 

Scammers are currently impersonating Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, the Chairman of Access Holdings Plc, to trick people into fake investment schemes.

 

 

They’ve created a WhatsApp group called *“Value Focus Club 60”* using this number: *+234 915 708 8290*, and even used his picture to make it look real.

 

 

*Important things to know*:
• The Chairman is NOT on WhatsApp running any investment group
• Access Holdings does NOT offer investment advice via WhatsApp
• Any message claiming otherwise is 100% fake

A whistleblower actually spotted this and raised the alarm, so please don’t ignore this.

*What you should do*:
• Don’t join the group or engage them
• Don’t share your personal or banking details
• Block and report the number on WhatsApp
• Let others know so they don’t fall victim

The company is already working to shut it down, but awareness is key.

Please share this with your contacts, someone you know could be targeted.
