Central Bank tells about new schemes of illegal financiers
The Central Bank has revealed new schemes of illegal forex dealers and brokers who swindle money from the public under the guise of investments, the Central Bank's press service told Izvestia.
Thus, the swindlers began to cover themselves with foreign regulators, who allegedly supervise their activities. At the same time, illegals specify specific bodies, such as the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) or the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).
Many scammers cite the numbers of the licenses supposedly issued to their companies, as well as place active links to the regulator's page with these permits. However, when a person goes to the fake pages, which have identical visual design and an address similar to the real one. In addition, as the Central Bank clarified, when going to any of the sections of the site, a redirection to the genuine official portal of the regulator is carried out.
Another new scheme is also based on the demonstration of legality. Telegram channels have started offering trust management services for subsequent investment in crypto exchanges. People are promised that by investing their money for a period from 24 hours to 3-4 days, they can get a profit from 50% to 400%.
Potential clients are attracted by all the attributes of legality: the conclusion of a trust management agreement and the provision of administrator documents (passport scan, certificate of registration of a sole proprietorship, etc.). When it comes to transferring funds to the "broker", the details of the dropper card are specified, and then the administrator blocks the client and disappears.
The Central Bank emphasized that official brokers never ask to transfer money to an individual's card, nor do they have the right to guarantee returns.
