Bank of Cyprus Warns of Fake Profiles on Social Media Platforms

The Bank of Cyprus is warning the public about the emergence of fake profiles on the Threads social media platform, which are using the name and photo of its CEO, Panikos Nikolaou, in an attempt to deceive. These fake profiles are offering alleged investment advice or promoting investment opportunities. The Bank assures that the CEO does not provide investment advice through social networks and that it never requests personal data or money through them. It urges the public to ignore and report fake profiles, refrain from making financial transactions, and verify information through the Bank's official channels.
