Scams related to investments in crypto-currencies, forex, gold, art, wine, SCPIs, ETFs etc. are reaching more and more inexperienced savers but also real investment professionals.
The pattern of scams is often very similar but also increasingly sophisticated. Fraudulent platforms offer so-called guaranteed returns in crypto-currencies, crypto-assets, forex, gold, wine, parking spaces, rooms in nursing homes, ETFs, etc. Holding a well-rehearsed speech and making enticing promises via phone calls, social networks, by influencers or by email, the scammers entice investors to open trading accounts or wallets (portfolios) with a company of exchange (Coinbase, Crypto.com, Coinhouse, Kraken, Binance etc.). The goal – to use these platforms to receive victims' funds in crypto currencies or stablecoins such as USDT, a means of payment that is difficult to trace and therefore reassuring for criminals.
Several hundred fraudulent websites have already been listed by European financial regulators (AMF, FCA, FSMA and others) - you can also consult our blacklist which is updated regularly.
If you are a victim of one of these sites, do not hesitate to contact us. The "NSP Avocats" team has been regularly handling cybercrime cases since 2016 and has developed cutting-edge expertise and unique know-how in this area. We have also obtained certificates from the Council of Europe and the HELP program (Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals) in the field of Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence.
