Quick Summary
NSE has cautioned investors about an X handle named “Emily Foster”, an application named “Astro Emily” and a website at astroemily.in.

Ever wonder if that popular stock tips app or viral X account you follow is actually legitimate?
NSE just dropped a major warning flagging the “Astro Emily” app, website, and “Emily Foster” handle for unauthorized market advice.

Before you take another trade, here is what the exchange revealed and what you should do next.
Three Platforms In One NSE Notice: The Handle, The App And The Website
NSE isn’t pointing to a single account this time. It lists an X handle, an Android app, and a website together.
The table below puts the three side by side, exactly as the notice gives them.
| Platform | Name In The Notice | Link Given By NSE |
|---|---|---|
| X (social media) | “Emily Foster” | x.com/cosmic_wisdomm |
| Application | “Astro Emily” | play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ingenium.tca2127 |
| Website | Not named separately | astroemily.in/main |
The “Emily Foster” X Handle: What The Notice Says And Does Not Say
The first item is an X social media handle.
NSE gives its name and link and nothing more.
Do not assume the handle belongs to a real person with that name. The notice does not say.
1. What NSE Names
The handle is named “Emily Foster,” and its link is x.com/cosmic_wisdomm.
NSE says it is providing securities market tips.
2. What NSE Does Not Name
The notice gives no individual, phone number, email or business address.
It treats the handle only as an online account, so this blog does too.
The “Astro Emily” Android App: Why A Play Store Listing Is Not An Endorsement
The second item is an application. NSE gives its Google Play link and says it is providing securities market tips.
A listing on an app store tells you the app exists. It does not tell you the app is approved or checked by the exchange.
1. What NSE Names
The application is named “Astro Emily”. Its Google Play link ends with the app ID com.ingenium.tca2127.
2. What The Notice Adds
NSE states the links are not associated with the Exchange in any manner.
So an app store page is not proof of any exchange link.
The Website Flagged By NSE: Checking A Tips Site Before You Sign Up
The third item is a website. NSE gives its address and says it is providing securities market tips.
Websites are easy to copy. Check the exact address before you trust a similar page.
1. Website: “The Website Address NSE Flags”
The website link is astroemily.in/main.
Check the spelling carefully, since look-alike addresses are common.
2. What To Look For Before Sharing Anything
Do not enter your mobile number, bank details, or trading login on a tips site you cannot verify.
The notice does not say the site collects any of these. This is general caution.
Why NSE Repeats The Warning On Assured Returns And Login Details?
Even though the notice names only market tips, NSE repeats two standing warnings. They apply to every investor.
Keep both in mind whenever a tip turns into an offer, on any platform.
1. Assured Or Guaranteed Returns Are Prohibited By Law
NSE advises investors not to subscribe to any scheme offering indicative, assured or guaranteed returns.
It says such schemes are prohibited by law.
2. Never Share Your User ID And Password
NSE advises investors not to share trading credentials such as user ID and password with anyone.
With your login, someone else can trade in your name.
Do Tips Providers Need Registration? A Quick Check Before You Follow Anyone
Tips on what to buy or sell are a form of advice. Knowing who gives it helps.
This is general guidance, as the notice does not discuss it.
Before you act on a tip from an app, site, or handle, ask for the registration details behind it.
You can check SEBI registered research analyst status on SEBI’s website in a few minutes.
If no registration details are shown, treat the tips with caution.
What Investors Lose: The Three Recourses NSE Says Are Not Available
NSE lists three recourses that will not be available in disputes over such prohibited schemes. The table shows what each means.
The notice adds that taking part is at the investor’s own risk, cost, and consequences.
It says such schemes are neither approved nor endorsed by the Exchange.
| Recourse NSE Lists | What It Means For You |
|---|---|
| Benefits of Investor Protection under Exchange’s Jurisdiction | The exchange’s protection does not cover these schemes |
| Exchange Dispute Resolution Mechanism | You cannot use the exchange’s own dispute process |
| Investor Grievance Redressal Mechanism administered by Exchange | The exchange’s grievance system does not apply |
What To Do If You Downloaded “Astro Emily” Or Followed “Emily Foster”
If you use any of the three, act in order. These are general safety steps, and the notice does not list them.
Start with what is easiest to undo.
1. Stop Following And Remove The App
Unfollow the handle and uninstall the app from your phone. Stay away from the website.
2. Review App Permissions And Saved Details
Check which permissions the app held, such as contacts or messages.
Remove any saved payment details from your phone.
Simple habits on how to protect yourself from cyber crime keep your device safer.
3. Change Passwords If You Shared A Login
Change your trading and demat passwords through your broker’s official app. Then check your trade book for orders you did not place.
4. Keep Records
Save screenshots of the handle, the app page, the website, and any tips or payments.
How To Report An Unverified Stock Tips App And X Handle?
The notice names no person, so your report must rely on the names and links.
Gather your evidence first.
Follow the steps below to register a complaint:
1. Report The Account Or App To The Platform
Use the report option on X and the report option on the Google Play listing.
2. Email SEBI
Send SEBI the links, your screenshots, and the dates. A clear complaint to SEBI states what the platform told you to do.
3. Use The Cyber Crime Route If Money Is Lost
If money has left your bank account, report it on the cyber crime complaint portal or call 1930.
Also consider a complaint at your local police station.

It says all three provide securities market tips and have no association with the Exchange.
No exchange protection applies.
