The “KGHM” fraud is back. Fake ads and fake websites

Fraudsters are using KGHM again to extort money. The company warns against fabricated advertisements and websites. The company also encourages you to report fraud.

“False posts and websites have reappeared on social media and the Internet, illegally using the image of KGHM and encouraging alleged investments in precious metals,” the Polish copper giant said. The company warns people not to click or share links with a fake website. A screenshot marked with the “fraud” sign was attached to the entry. The screenshot shows a modified KGHM logo placed under the letters AZF, which have nothing to do with the company.

Fraud on KGHM. The company asks you to report the problem

“False ads redirect you to a fake website used by fraudsters to obtain your personal information and may result in the loss of your money!” – we read in the KGHM entry. The company initiated appropriate security procedures and reported the case to institutions that deal with prosecuting this type of crimes.

At the same time, however, KGHM asks you to report false profiles and advertisements on social media. Links and screenshots can be sent to scam@kghm.com. Moreover, it describes the types of online frauds and how to protect yourself against them. Then, for many weeks, there was a false advertisement on the Internet encouraging people to buy KGHM investment products. The fraudsters showed great impudence because the image of President Andrzej Duda and then Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki was used for advertising.
