Investing.com Impersonation Cold Calls: Investment Scam

The name of a site that people open every day to check market data leaves a person defenceless for the first few seconds when heard on the phone. In calls from the number 0850 901 0918, the caller introduces himself as an "Investing.com customer representative" and markets investment services. This scheme, in which the caller raises his voice when refused and keeps calling people who are not interested, was recorded in July 2026.

📞 How Does the Call Unfold?

Even when the number is not answered, it calls back several times on the same day. In the conversation the "representative" tries to offer investment services; a person who says they are not interested is pressured with remarks such as "you haven't even listened yet" and met with rude language. In such operations the aim of the first call is to get an account opened and receive the first transfer; the persistence is the typical trace of fake investment call centre operations that call from listsTR.

🔍 Is Investing.com a Brokerage?

Investing.com is an international portal providing financial data and news; it is not a brokerage that opens investment accounts or accepts money on behalf of customers. Institutions that may provide investment services in Türkiye appear in the SPK list of authorised institutions. SPK Decision No. 5/173 also warns investors against unauthorised investment guidance over the internet and social media.

The platform called Investing IB is a different operation with a similar nameTR.
