The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA), an autonomous public institution that supervises the Belgian financial sector, has issued a warning to inform consumers for cryptocurrency fraud.

In accordance the warning, despite its earlier warnings, the FSMA continues to receive new complaints of consumers who have invested in cryptocurrencies through these trading platforms. Hence, the FSMA repeats its warning against the fraudsters behind those platforms who are using cryptocurrencies to swindle consumers.

The principle remains the same: they offer you an investment they claim is secure, easy and very lucrative. They try to inspire confidence by assuring you that you don’t need to be an expert in cryptocurrencies in order to invest in them. They claim to have specialists who will manage your investments for you. You are told that your funds can be withdrawn at any time or that they are guaranteed. In the end, the result is always the same: the victims find themselves unable to recover their money!

FSMA publishes a list of recently identified websites:
