Share Market Scams in Nepal: Paid Tips, Pumps and Fake Gurus

How Telegram/Viber tip groups, pump-and-dump schemes and unlicensed 'fund managers' trap beginners.

If someone could reliably predict stocks, they would trade quietly - not sell you daily tips for Rs 999. Paid tip groups profit from subscriptions, not from your gains.

In pump schemes, organisers buy a thin scrip, hype it in groups, then sell into the buying rush. Late joiners hold the losses.

Steps

1Recognise the red flags
Guaranteed returns, screenshots of profits, urgency ('buy before 12 o'clock'), paid VIP groups, and admins who delete wrong calls.
2Never hand over control
No TMS passwords, no OTPs, no 'profit-sharing' account handling. Anyone asking operates illegally - report them.
3Verify licenses
Portfolio managers and advisors need licenses. A large follower count is not a license. Check SEBON/NEPSE sources.
4Size positions sanely
Beginners should risk only money they can lose entirely, in diversified holdings - never one hot tip with full savings.

Good to know: Report market fraud to your broker, NEPSE/SEBON channels and the police cyber bureau. Screenshots help investigations.
