The Land and Mines Office (LLM) has issued a warning to the public to exercise heightened caution regarding the unauthorised use of its name and logo by unscrupulous parties. The advisory comes as officials seek to protect citizens from potential scams and fraudulent activities exploiting the agency's identity.
Members of the public are advised to scrutinise any cards, documents or information purporting to carry LLM branding and to verify their legitimacy through official channels before acting upon them. Fraudsters have been known to capitalise on government agency names to lend credibility to their schemes and deceive unsuspecting individuals.
The LLM emphasised that authentic credentials and communications from the office will carry proper official authentication. Citizens who encounter suspicious materials or individuals claiming to represent LLM are urged to contact the relevant authorities immediately to report the matter and prevent potential fraud.
This warning is part of broader efforts by Malaysian government agencies to combat identity fraud and protect public interests.
