Bank of Cyprus Warns of Fake Profiles on Social Media Platforms

The Bank of Cyprus is alerting the public to the emergence of fake profiles on the Threads platform, which are using the name and photograph of its CEO, Panikos Nikolaou, in an attempt to provide alleged investment advice or promote 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 these platforms. It urges the public to ignore and report fake profiles, refrain from making financial transactions, and verify information through the Bank's official channels. The necessary actions have already been taken towards the relevant platforms.
