7/9/2025

I have been made aware that scammers and fraudsters are using my name, picture and doctored videos to target people online with fraudulent attempts to send money to be invested in non-existent investment schemes or for compensation for investment tips. The examples I’ve seen so far have been in perpetrated in India, but they may be elsewhere too. These are totally fake. Please read below to protect yourself:

  • I presently manage only three investment vehicles: (1) Pabrai Investment Funds, which are private funds for high net worth accredited and qualified investors, (2) the Pabrai Wagons Fund, a mutual fund for retail investors, and (3) Dhandho Holdings, which is private and open only to high net worth accredited and qualified investors. 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. Please report it to mpabrai@pabraifunds.com.
