Love on the web: How to not fall into a hook of a scam
Popular financial fraud programs
They said: There will be 100 percent per year. The result is – except for the account. Appendix, support, analysts in zoom – everything looks like real brokers. But it was a deception in which I forced myself to believe, a comment about the victim at one of the financial forums, in 2024.
The plans are becoming more sophisticated. One of the popular scenarios – “Legal investment platform”. Users can advertise in social networks, where a celebrity (often a person who likes the voice and face of a celebrity) about the reliable new passive income of Islam.
The victim has a personal account with graphs, receipts, analysis. Real money comes – at first. This is necessary to enhance trust. After the Muslims' bait, the pressure begins: A unique agreement is now, you need to urgently introduce more, you will lose a profitable opportunity. And if the user invests more, the money disappears. And to them – and the platform is said to be legal.
Special risk – “Clon application”. Scammers create mobile applications that fully copy the interface of famous banks or investment companies. Sometimes – with the fake of the App Store and the evaluation. The victim downloaded a fake program, transferred registration, but in reality – transferred all his data to the attackers.
Another new trend – Long -term deception projectWhen criminals did not disappear immediately, but for many years, they maintained contact to continue the money extension. They told the victim that everything collapsed due to the crisis, and they asked to do more to be thought to continue to emerge. People believe that because they have been related to emotions, it is embarrassing to realize the mistake and they want to regain losses.
How to protect yourself?
- Check all companies through the central bank of the Russian Federation (The central bank of the Russian Federation). The official service allows access to the registration books of brokers, credit institutions, MFI and NPF.
- Research the assessments not available on the company's website. Search for independent forums, check reference materials in news, read discussions in messengers and groups.
- Do not be fooled by “successful” investors in social networks. 90 percent of accounts are good advertising windows.
- Avoid deposits without contracts. Even when it was a superstar of the Viking, it required documents in writing. If they don't, there is a pyramid in front of you.
- Do not send money through cryptocurrencies to unknown things. Returning in the case of fraud is almost impossible.
In order not to be arrested, it is memorable:
- Legal investment does not promise the interest of the Viking;
- No serious financial institutions will provide transactions through messengers;
- Analysts and traders really do not work in zoom “on cold base”;
- Any investment is always a risk.
If suspected, once again checked the company in the list of Russian banks. Domain research of the site (if it is completely new – this is alarm), does not install applications from links from conversations. And most importantly – no financial decisions under pressure or for fear of “missing a profitable agreement”.
