Caution Notice : Unauthorized Use of Aarayaa Name, Fake WhatsApp Groups, Apps, and Websites

It has come to our attention that certain WhatsApp groups, falsely using the prefix “Aarayaa” and the name of our Director, Mr. Raj Shroff, as the administrator, have been created. The WhatsApp display picture (DP) associated with these groups misleadingly uses the image of Mr. Raj Shroff. Additionally, these groups are disseminating investment advice under his name.

We have also discovered the existence of a mobile application titled “Aarayaa Fin” and a website operating under the URL “h5.aarayaa-advisory.com,” falsely promoting investment activities in the name of Aarayaa Advisory Services Pvt. Ltd. (“AASPL”).

We categorically state that neither Mr. Raj Shroff nor AASPL, its affiliates, or its team members (collectively referred to as the “AASPL Group”) are in any way associated with these WhatsApp groups, the app, the website, or similar unauthorized platforms.

Furthermore, we caution the public that there may be additional fraudulent social media accounts or platforms exploiting our name without our knowledge. These activities, including impersonation of AASPL or its team members, appear to be conducted with the intent of market manipulation and defrauding the public.

Important Clarifications:

  1. AASPL is not a regulated entity, and the SEBI registration number referenced in these fake groups, apps, and websites does not belong to us.

  2. AASPL does not create, manage, or participate in any platforms providing:
    • Investment tips or advice or management.
    • Market rumours or unverified information.
    • Activities promoting market manipulation or fraudulent schemes.

Advisory to Investors:

We strongly advise the public not to believe or act upon any messages, audio, or video content shared through such unauthorized groups, apps, or websites. Always verify the authenticity of any communication purportedly from AASPL by cross-referencing it with official channels.

Anyone engaging with such unauthorized individuals or entities or acting on fraudulent tips or advice does so at their own risk. AASPL and its directors disclaim all responsibility for any losses or consequences arising from such dealings.

Reporting Fraudulent Activities:

We urge the public to report any such fraudulent activity by filing complaints with:

  • The Cyber Crime Cell of the police.
  • Relevant stock exchanges.
  • The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

We have already filed a complaint with Cyber Crime Cell of police against the persons involved in these fraudulent activities.
