MassMutual Ventures is aware of a scam through social media channels such as WhatsApp groups, Instagram, and Telegram falsely using the MassMutual Ventures name and logo to obtain funds from individuals for a fake investment opportunity, scheming potential investors out of money. The scam solicits funds from individuals through multiple social media channels using various tactics, but those channels and tactics may vary and eventually change over time. Please be advised that MassMutual Ventures only invests on behalf of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and its affiliated companies. MassMutual Ventures does not seek or solicit investment funds from individuals and does not invest any funds on behalf of individuals.
What to do:
Do not communicate with or send money to the imposters. If you find yourself a victim of this scam, consider filing a complaint with your local police department and financial regulatory authorities.
