KUALA LUMPUR: Public-listed Berjaya Corporation Bhd has advised the public to be aware of a scam and denied any involvement with an entity falsely bearing the name of Berjaya Investment Bhd, which claims to be affiliated to the group.
Berjaya Corporation said the scam involves solicitations for business investments or business ventures, and it has reported to the relevant authorities so that the appropriate action can be taken.
The group said it had no involvement with the berjaya investment and bfcap websites which use the names Berjaya Financial Corporation, Tan Sri Chong and Keith Hunt.
The group warned the public not to respond to any email solicitations from anyone posing as the company, its group affiliates, or the company’s officers that appear even remotely suspicious.
Members of the public should avoid clicking on links or opening attachments included in the emails, as doing so may result in malware or a virus being loaded on the recipient’s computer, it added.
