The Caja Popular de Ahorros of Tucumán has issued an urgent public warning about a rise in fraudulent casino apps promoted on social media platforms. This response comes as part of efforts to protect Tucumán residents from online scams that have become prevalent on networks like WhatsApp and Facebook recently.

No Official Casino App Available

According to the official statement released by the Caja Popular, multiple fake posts are circulating online falsely claiming to promote a Tucumán Casino app. These promotions often carry names and imagery associated with real institutions in an effort to appear legitimate. However, the financial institution has made it clear that the Tucumán Casino does not have any mobile application currently available.

“The Tucumán Casino does NOT have an app,” emphasized the Caja Popular in its warning. This clarification is intended to prevent potential users from falling victim to malicious software, phishing attempts, or financial fraud by using unauthorized platforms.

Only the Hippodrome App Is Official

While clarifying the status of the casino, the Caja Popular de Ahorros also informed the public about the only official betting-related application currently in operation. The Tucumán Hippodrome app is the only platform officially endorsed by the Caja Popular and the Hippodrome of Tucumán. 

This legitimate app operates under joint supervision and serves as the sole recognized digital outlet for related betting activities. Any other mobile applications or websites claiming to be affiliated with the Tucumán Casino are considered fraudulent and potentially harmful.

To combat the spread of misinformation and protect individuals from identity theft and financial loss, the Caja Popular and the Hippodrome have issued a set of recommendations. They strongly advise the public to stay informed exclusively through official communication channels and not to click on unknown links or provide sensitive personal information to unfamiliar sources.

Virtual Scams Becoming a Serious Threat

The issue of online fraud has become increasingly problematic in Tucumán, with scammers using sophisticated techniques such as fake apps and identity theft to deceive residents. Authorities note that institutional impersonation is a growing concern and stress the importance of community vigilance. 

The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activity or misleading advertisements to the appropriate authorities. Verifying the legitimacy of digital content and relying on confirmed sources are crucial steps in protecting against cybercrime. 

The Caja Popular de Ahorros urges Tucumán residents to be extremely cautious online and disregard information suggesting the existence of a Tucumán Casino app. The Hippodrome app is the country’s official app, so it is the only digital betting platform the public should trust.
