Channels and modus operandi
Recently it has come to Pictet’s attention that our trade names “Pictet”, “瑞士百達” , “瑞士百達資產管理”(or “瑞士百達資管” ), “瑞士百達財富管理” (or “瑞士百達財管” ), logo and/or certain of our staff’s names have been misused by unauthorised persons for illegal fund-raising, such as providing retail investors with stock trading training, money transfer insurance, account opening or stock trading services in the name of “Pictet”, "Pictet Asset Management" or “Pictet Wealth Management” via mobile apps, webpages and chat groups. We reserve our legal rights to take legal action against such unauthorised use of our name and/or logo.
Scams are advertised across multiple public and private channels such as:
- Fraudulent mobile trading applications (e.g. crypto, currencies)
- Fraudulent websites and blog posts
- Fraudulent Whatsapp, Telegram, X (ex-Twitter) and WeChat accounts and/or chat groups
