New version of the trading group fraud, now using a fake SEBI registration number
Started 28 September 2026
The group posts a SEBI registration number in the description and tells members to verify it. The number belongs to a real registered advisor, but the group has no connection to that firm. Two people I know checked the number, saw it was genuine, and transferred money.

Important post. A registration number being real does not mean the group holds it. On the SEBI intermediary list, check the registered entity's own contact details and call them directly to confirm the group belongs to them. Most say it does not.

The same group in my city also shared a fake screenshot of a NSE certificate. The logo was stretched and the fonts did not match.

One more sign: they insist on an app installed from a link rather than the Play Store. No registered broker does that.
