Beware fake social media ads impersonating The Star


PETALING JAYA: Star Media Group Berhad, which publishes The Star print products and online portal, refers to a social media advert misusing The Star’s brand identity.

It has come to the group’s attention that a social media sponsored post by "Adventure Travel Oman", titled "Dr. Adam Zubir akan dihantar pulang dari negara ini selepas memebuat kenyataan terbuka", misuses The Star’s logo.

The group wishes to clarify that the "Adventure Travel Oman" social media advert is not affiliated with The Star’s official social media platforms in any way.

The aforementioned advertisement, as well as similar iterations and others like it, is not run by The Star’s official social media pages.

Please do not interact with these social media pages or suspicious ads seen on social media.

The Star – which Reuters named one of the most trusted sources of news in Malaysia – publishes on its official website thestar.com.my.

To ensure you are looking at a genuine article by The Star, always check the web page address to confirm that the URL begins with https://www.thestar.com.my/.

Should you come across fake social media advertisements or suspicious social media pages impersonating The Star or any other brands, please file a report with the social media platform.
