There have been recent incidents of individuals and groups falsely claiming to be associated with AQR on social media platforms. These imposters have engaged in a variety of unauthorized conduct, including soliciting customers to carry out trading activities with them, impersonating AQR using the genuine names of AQR senior executives or employees to offer investment opportunities, claiming to offer investment training courses that are supposedly provided by AQR or claiming that AQR is backing certain initial coin offerings or is otherwise engaged in crypto related trading activity. There have also been fake websites and mobile applications that claim to be AQR (or associated with AQR) when in fact they are not. These are scams and not authorized by AQR in any way.
