Beware of Scams Misusing ASTA's Name – A Public Interest and Advisory Notification

Dear ASTA Students, Supporters, and Members of the Public,
We are writing to alert you about a serious and growing concern that threatens the safety, integrity, and trust of our vibrant learning community. It has come to our attention that ‘unauthorised individuals and groups are impersonating Avadhut Sathe Trading Academy (ASTA)’ including the illegal and unethical use of Avadhut Sir’s and ASTA’s name, photographs, and AI-manipulated videos across Facebook, WhatsApp, and other digital platforms.

These individuals and entities are falsely claiming affiliation with ASTA and are luring individuals into WhatsApp groups, personal interaction and guidance by promising:
Stock tips, free advisory/ training, investment advice, guaranteed returns, get-rich-quick schemes, to name a few.
We have also been alerted that a few individuals are mis-using ASTA’s name to provide private financial advisory, trade strategy, and tips. We advise caution against all such individuals. We want to state, clearly and unequivocally that;


ASTA and / or its representatives DO NOT, AND WILL NEVER


ASTA STANDS FOR


Legal Action Underway

We view these impersonation attempts as not only fraudulent but also as an attack on the principles of responsible investing and ethical education. We are actively pursuing legal remedies under applicable laws. ASTA has taken up the issue with relevant authorities, regulators, and platforms to ensure these perpetrators are brought to justice.


Public Interest Advisory

We urge all members of the public to:
