  • REPORT ONLINE CRYPTO TRADING FRAUD
    • Fake online brokers and unauthorized investment platforms represent one of the types of most insidious financial fraud.
    • These sites promise investments in forex, cryptocurrencies or other assets with extraordinary returns and apparently low risks.
    • In reality, these are often fraudulent schemes in which the money deposited by users is diverted to foreign accounts and becomes irrecoverable.
    • Many victims only realize it when they try to withdraw their funds and at that point, the so-called brokers disappear or request additional payments.
    • Consob, the financial markets supervisor, has already shut down over 1,300 illegal trading websites since 2019, proving the spread of these scams.

    • For example, if payment was made via bank transfer or credit card, we can assist the client in requesting a block of the transaction or a chargeback with the credit institution involved.
    • In parallel, we evaluate initiating legal actions aimed at recovering fraudulent trading funds, possibly also through class actions if there are multiple victims of the same scheme.

  Victims are attracted by promising high returns in a short time. In reality, new investments serve only to pay old investors until the system collapses, leaving most people without a penny.
• FRAUDULENT TRADING PLATFORMS
  Websites apparently legitimate that offer trading on forex, cryptocurrencies or stocks, but without any authorization. The fraudsters behind these platforms (often based abroad) disappear as soon as the victim tries to withdraw the invested capital.
• PHISHING AND IDENTITY THEFT
  Deceptive emails or messages that mimic communications from banks, postal services or known companies, inducing the user to provide access credentials or security codes (OTP). Criminals use them to empty bank accounts or make fraudulent payments in the victim's name.
• ROMANCE SCAMS
  The scammer, through dating sites or social networks, fakes emotional involvement and, after gaining the victim's trust, invents emergencies or opportunities to get money sent. These scams can last for months, causing significant economic and psychological harm.
• FAKE LISTINGS AND ONLINE SALES
  Listings of non-existent products or never shipped, posted on fake e-commerce sites or through social profiles. Victims pay for goods at advantageous prices that they never receive, or are directed to cloned pages of known stores, created to steal credit card data.
