The Jordan Securities Commission issued an alert on a rise in fraudulent activity involving unlicensed entities that use or compromise news and advertising websites to promote investment services and fake trading companies, with the aim of misleading the public. It urged citizens to exercise caution and to conduct investment transactions only through entities licensed and approved by the Commission. Investors were advised to verify a company’s licensing status through the Commission’s official channels before entering into any investment. The Commission also stated it will take the necessary legal measures against anyone found to be involved in such illegal practices to protect investors’ rights and safeguard the financial market.
