Crypto scams are on the rise!
Don’t let your investment dreams turn into a nightmare, follow these simple tips…

• Do your research – criminals create fake platforms to imitate genuine investment sites.
  Search the company on the FCA Firm Checker and beware of poor design, spelling and grammar. 
• Beware unsolicited approaches on social media or dating platforms about day trading or crypto investment scheme – even if they are forwarded / passed to you by ‘friends’.
• Beware of ‘early exit’ attempts to move communication from the original platform onto an encrypted platform, such as WhatsApp or Telegram.
• Beware of continuous pressure to make additional investments, and of messages being sent outside UK normal business hours.
• Be suspicious if you are advised to ignore warning messages from banks & crypto exchanges
  or being instructed not to tell anyone about a ‘special deal.’
