3The most common scams in online trading and with cryptocurrencies
In recent years, numerous scams have emerged in online trading and the cryptocurrency sector, and these scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Particularly common are deceptively realistic trading platforms that lure users with promises of high profits. In reality, these are often completely fake sites whose sole purpose is to defraud investors of their money. The deposited amounts are not invested but are immediately retained by the scammers.
The hype surrounding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin also provides criminals with a lucrative playing field. People are lured into the trap with unrealistic promises of returns and the claim that cryptocurrencies are a sure way to quick wealth. In fact, the perpetrators use these scams to access their victims' capital and make it untraceable through complex crypto transactions.
Even seemingly legitimate platforms like Crypto.com are increasingly being targeted. Investors are being manipulated through messages via WhatsApp, email, or phone calls, urging them to continually pump in more money. Often, supposed profits are immediately reinvested until the entire investment is ultimately lost.
Another form is investment fraud, which involves alleged stock market transactions or stocks that either don't exist or are fake. These offers often seem frighteningly real to victims, making the fraud even harder to detect.
Emotional deception is often also involved, such as in so-called love scamming. In this case, fraudsters pretend to have feelings in order to convince victims to transfer large sums of money or invest in supposedly safe projects.
Another typical feature of many of these cases is that additional money is repeatedly requested – supposedly to enable a payout or to post a deposit. In reality, this is a central feature of classic investment fraud schemes.
Regardless of whether it's via Anydesk, Telegram, Atomic Wallet, or Trust Wallet, the perpetrators' imaginations know no bounds. In the end, the victims face the same fate in almost every case – withdrawals are denied, and the invested money is lost.
Typical signs of crypto fraud
Anyone who invests in cryptocurrencies should pay attention to warning signs. Common indications of Crypto fraud are:
- Aggressive advertisements and phone calls
- Promise of extremely high and secure returns
- No transparent company headquarters or lack of regulation
- Problems with withdrawals or additional fees
The sooner those affected react, the higher the chances of getting their money back.
Liquidity proof fraud: Warning about crypto trading platforms and dubious online banks
Proof of liquidity or a so-called liquidity check are typical warning signs for dubious online banks and crypto trading platforms. Anyone who has invested money there and suddenly encounters difficulties withdrawing money should be extremely cautious – especially if additional documentation or additional deposits are requested. Reputable providers pay out profits and balances without unnecessary hurdles. However, if pressure is exerted, this is a clear indication of fraud. In such a situation, you should never transfer any more money. Instead, carefully secure all documents, messages, and payment receipts. To enforce your rights and minimize financial losses as much as possible, we recommend seeking legal advice immediately. This way, you can effectively defend yourself against fraudulent practices and prevent your losses from becoming even greater. Don't be misled – act promptly.
What should victims of crypto fraud do?
If you've fallen victim to crypto fraud, quick and thoughtful action is crucial. Every minute can make the difference in whether there's still a chance of tracing the money. The following steps are especially important:
Secure evidence
Collect and save all available documents and information. This includes emails, account and wallet transfers, chat histories, website screenshots, and all communication data with the suspected fraudsters. These documents are crucial for later tracing the flow of money and initiating criminal proceedings.
Make no further payments
Fraudsters often pressure victims and demand additional payments – for alleged "activation fees" or "chargeback fees." Never fall for these. Every additional payment worsens your situation and increases the damage.
Seek legal support
Consult a lawyer specializing in capital and crypto investment scandals early on. An experienced attorney can assess what legal options exist to hold the perpetrators accountable and whether civil claims can be asserted.
Report to the police
File a criminal complaint with the police or public prosecutor's office. Provide all the evidence you have gathered. Filing a complaint is an important step in bringing the case to the attention of the investigating authorities and potentially protecting other victims.
Money back after crypto fraud – is that possible?
Many victims of crypto fraud wonder whether they will ever be able to get their money back. In principle, there are certainly opportunities to enforce financial claims, although each case must be examined individually. In some situations, transfers via banks, credit card companies, or payment service providers can be traced, which allows for chargebacks or blocking. It is often also possible to take legal action against fraudulent trading platforms that operate without authorization and violate applicable financial or regulatory law. Supervisory authorities such as BaFin or their foreign counterparts can also identify violations, allowing those affected to assert claims against the relevant bodies under certain circumstances. In addition to criminal investigations, civil enforcement of claims for damages and repayment may also be considered. An experienced lawyer will assess which of these options are likely to be successful in each individual case. Above all, it is important to act early, as quick action increases the chances of at least partially recovering lost funds.
