Brookfield¹ is a global leader in alternative asset management. Unfortunately, fraudsters sometimes try to use Brookfield’s name and brand to scam and defraud others. The actions of these unauthorized persons are not associated with Brookfield and, as such, Brookfield is not responsible for the consequences of any of these fraudulent activities..

Common examples of fraudulent activities include:

• Wire (Bank) Transfer Fraud: Fraudsters may reach out to you, typically by phone but also by other means, giving you a fake and pressing story that needs you to transfer money into or out of your bank account. Fraudsters posing as Brookfield may also offer high profits on your investment with low or no risk. 
   
• Investment Frauds: You may receive messages from fraudsters who claim to offer "high return" and similar investments through Brookfield. These "high return investment plans" are usually fake. To learn more about high return investment plans and how to avoid them, visit the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission webpage.
   
• Job Offer/Social Media Scams: Fraudsters may pretend to be a company on a website or social media account and may target job seekers through posts and paid ads. Imposters may also send fake emails claiming to offer employment at Brookfield and misusing the official Brookfield logo. These emails do not come from Brookfield or any of our affiliates. The only social media accounts that Brookfield uses are: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. 
   
• Email or Text Message Phishing: This is when a cybercriminal pretends to be someone trustworthy and sends you an email or text message asking you to click a link, open an attachment, or share personal information. 
   
• Voice Phishing (Vishing) over the Phone: This is when a phishing attacker uses the phone to impersonate someone from a company. 
   
• Mobile Device App Scams: Fraudsters may take your personal information by creating mobile device apps that claim to be an official Brookfield app. The fraudsters ask for investments in non-existent funds and have no connection to Brookfield. The only app that Brookfield authorizes is Brookfield Events, an app for event coordination that is not for investment or commercial use.

Please be informed that Brookfield does not authorize any use of its name, brand, or reputation, and does not tolerate fraudulent activity. Brookfield reserves the right to take all appropriate steps to protect its legal rights and reputation.
