The National Bank of Ukraine warns about fraudulent investment platforms
The National Bank of Ukraine warns citizens about fraudulent online investment platforms that disguise themselves as modern and credible services. Scammers use professional website design, logos of well-known companies, and "personal managers" to deceive and extort money.
Experts at the National Bank of Ukraine warn that fraudsters are increasingly disguising themselves as modern online investment platforms, which can appear very credible to clients.
Scammers create websites that look similar to official ones, using professional design, graphics showing profit growth, and a balance in a personal account. In reality, this is just a visual imitation created to build trust and convince the user to make a payment.
Scam platforms often feature logos of international companies, which creates the impression of support from reputable brands. However, these logos are simply copied from the internet and do not constitute proof of actual collaboration.
Scam platforms employ professionally trained operators or so-called financial managers who actively communicate with clients, using complex financial terminology, offering advice on "profitable investments," and may persuade people to invest more money. To reduce the risk of losing savings, the National Bank of Ukraine advises checking information about the company from official sources, being critical of promises of quick or guaranteed income, not transferring funds upon request from unknown individuals, and avoiding any financial transactions if there are doubts.
