At LDC, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity in everything we do. We value the trust of our customers and suppliers, and all third parties with whom we engage on a legal and professional basis, and strive to ensure that they can engage safely and transparently with LDC.
Nevertheless, individuals not associated with LDC may attempt to trick third parties by using LDC’s name and trademarks on fake websites. Recently, LDC has been made aware of fake YouTube videos purporting to advertise LDC-approved investment schemes in the “Foods/Drinks” and “Welfare Products” sectors and, through the use of an ‘LDC Payment Platform’ shown as an ‘LDC Earning App’ in the fake videos, encouraging third parties to put money into the advertised scheme through a fraudulent website: “m.ldc-finance.ru”.
These scam videos and fake website are not issued, hosted or supported by LDC, and LDC has no involvement in any schemes advertising for third party investment in this manner.
