Social Media Scams
Please be advised that fraudsters may also try and target you through messaging and social media services such as WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook, Instagram and X. It is not AllianceBernstein’s practice to solicit or engage in business through these platforms. It should also be noted that AB does not currently transact in cryptocurrency or related products for clients.
If you have been:
1. Contacted via a messaging service by someone representing to be employed by AB about a “guaranteed” or “quick” investment opportunity;
2. Instructed to download an investment/crypto application through social media to trade with AB; or
3. Offered a job opportunity from someone representing AB and then asked to make a payment
You may be involved in a scam. These are not AB’s business model or practices. If you think you have been involved in one of these scams we recommend that you report the unsolicited messages to the social media/messaging platform as soon as possible. If you have sent any funds, contact your bank immediately and report the matter to your local law enforcement and/or financial regulator as soon as possible.
