KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) said it has been made aware of another online investment scam that is currently circulating on WhatsApp involving the unauthorised use of the company’s name and logo, as well as the name of its president and group chief executive officer, Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz.
It said the message includes a fake news report from The Star with the headline “Special report: Petronas opens joint investment platform with government support!” and highlights a scheme that promises returns through weekly investments in government operations related to liquefied natural gas production.

Thanks for the useful information on credit repair on this excellent site. A few things i would advice people should be to give up a mentality that they’ll buy at this moment and fork out later. Like a society most of us tend to do this for many issues. This includes trips, furniture, as well as items we’d like. However, you have to separate your wants from all the needs. When you are working to raise your credit ranking score you really have to make some trade-offs. For example you’ll be able to shop online to economize or you can look at second hand merchants instead of costly department stores to get clothing.
so much great info on here, : D.
I have observed that of all varieties of insurance, health insurance coverage is the most dubious because of the discord between the insurance coverage company’s duty to remain making money and the consumer’s need to have insurance plan. Insurance companies’ profits on health and fitness plans are extremely low, consequently some providers struggle to make money. Thanks for the thoughts you talk about through this web site.
