How the scam works

  • An online advert offers a bargain on buying stocks or cryptocurrencies. It suggests starting with a lower amount.
  • To increase credibility, perpetrators also abuse the name of a well-known personality or company.
  • A scam broker on the phone will try to convince you to start putting money into an investment account or offer to help you through a remote access program.

5 tips on how to protect yourself 

  1. Always check the details of the company and its offer on the internet, read reviews, talk to your loved ones.
  2. Do not install programs on your computer or phone that allow remote access.
  3. Do not enter your credit card or George access details in unknown links.
  4. Never confirm the payment of investment returns. Only confirm payment and logins that you yourself are entering.
  5. Remember that you always need a signed contract to invest.
