Jefferies Warns: Scammers Posing as Bank Staff on WhatsApp

Investment bank Jefferies is warning customers that criminals are impersonating the firm and its employees to pitch fake investment deals and job offers over WhatsApp and fake email addresses. Real Jefferies communications come only from Jefferies.com. The bank never recruits or solicits investors through social media. Scams like these exploit the trust people place in established financial institutions.
