This happens without the duped person noticing, because the duped person first sees his investments increase in value (so that he invests even more). The idea is to get this money to the scammers. The criminal organization is after the duped person’s money and the so-called investments are only a way to elicit payments from which no investments are purchased. By creating a fancy website, investments are fictitious while in reality there is nothing. In reality, this is a boiler room in fact, there are no real investments being purchased. The criminal organization uses an investment website where the duped person creates an account. This is a new form of investment fraud, which begins with arousing interest in complex investments (Forex, CFDs or cryptocurrencies).
Our firm is seeing a sharp increase in fraud using “screen sharing software” from Anydesk, Teamviewer and Screenleap and cryptowallets used to siphon off money.
