KUALA LUMPUR: Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) issued a warning to the public that scammers are impersonating the fund to deceive the public on Facebook and TikTok.
In a statement, TH cautioned that some individuals are impersonating the organisation, using the TH logo, and offering investment schemes promising substantial profits on these social media platforms.
"TH advises depositors and the public to always be cautious of the tricks employed by scammers.
The latest strategy used by unscrupulous individuals involves advertising investment schemes on social media platforms such as Facebook and TikTok. These advertisements are linked to WhatsApp to further deceive the public with promises of high and quick profits," they stated.
The statement also advises the public, especially TH depositors, to exercise caution and not easily trust or become entangled in dubious investment offers.
"TH consistently provides warnings and advice regarding this matter to depositors on its official communication platforms.
For any inquiries, contact the Tabung Haji Contact Centre (THCC) at 03-6207 1919," the statement added.
