Okavango Diamond Company Warns Against Fraudulent Third-Party Claims. Okavango Diamond Company (ODC) has issued a public advisory cautioning investors and members of the public against misleading claims by unauthorized third parties falsely offering registration services. The company clarified that it accepts direct trading applications at no cost and does not engage with any external agents for registration or trading facilitation.
In response to misleading advertisements circulating on social media, ODC emphasized that it has no affiliation with individuals or companies claiming to assist with “Diamond Bourse Registration” or other related services. The company firmly stated that it is not a diamond bourse and does not offer such registration services.
“We categorically distance ourselves from any entity advertising services in our name. Any dealings with such third parties are undertaken at the risk of the individuals involved, and ODC will not be held liable for any losses, damages, or disputes arising from such engagements,” the company said in a statement.
The announcement comes after fraudulent advertisements surfaced, falsely suggesting that ODC works with external agencies to facilitate trading applications. ODC reassured investors that all legitimate transactions occur directly through the company, ensuring transparency and security.
This warning serves as a reminder to potential investors to verify all trading information directly with ODC and to be cautious of third parties offering unnecessary services. The company encourages interested applicants to contact them directly for legitimate trading opportunities.
As one of the leading players in Botswana’s diamond industry, ODC remains committed to ethical business practices and safeguarding the interests of its clients. Investors and stakeholders are urged to remain vigilant and rely on official ODC communications to avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes.
