If you are being solicited to send money to any other fund that claims to be managed by ​me or for any investment tips, do not do it. Please report it to mpabrai@pabraifunds.com.
  • I will never, ever ask you to send money through WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Facebook, Telegram, Skype or any other text-based messaging app. If you are being asked to send money through any of these platforms to any individual or entity that claims to have any connection to me, do not do it.
