Fraud scam regarding the alleged opening of an Advanced Trading Account (ATA) for discounted trading through WhatsApp group(s)

We have been made aware about a scam where fraudsters claim to open an Advanced Trading Account (ATA) with Julius Baer for discounted trading. By means of a WhatsApp group the fraudsters ask their members to submit details for the opening of such an account. The fraudsters offer investors the opportunity to trade discounted stocks allegedly chosen based on professional analysis and research of the financial institution which distributes the stocks to the investors. Based on this approach the fraudsters claim that it is rare for advanced investors participating in ATA transactions to incur losses. Note that Julius Baer does not engage in such trading practice and does not offer such Advanced Trading Accounts nor is Julius Baer in any way involved in the respective WhatsApp group(s). Julius Baer recommends to not react at all to such communication but to report it as fraudulent with WhatsApp. Furthermore, the fraudsters may impersonate themselves as employees of Julius Baer using name(s), mobile number(s) or website(s) such as below; all not associated with Julius Baer.
