近期,比利时金融服务和市场管理局(FSMA)就欺诈性加密货币交易平台发出警告。同时,该机构还公布了19个遭到消费者投诉或存在欺诈迹象的加密货币交易平台。
这些平台分别是01crypto, Btc-cap, Capital-coins, Coinquick, Cryptavenir, Crypto-banque, Crypto-infos, Cryptos.solutions, Cryptos-currency, Ether-invest, Eurocryptopro, Finance-mag, Gme-crypto, Gmtcrypto, Good-crypto, Mycrypto24, Nettocrypto, Patrimoinecrypto, and Ydconsultant。
该机构强调,名单中并未涵盖所有可疑的加密货币交易平台,目前只公开了遭到投诉的名单。
FSMA指出,近一段时间来,网络上出现了不少新平台,吸引消费者的方法如出一辙。他们声称将为初学者以及专业人士提供最好的交易平台服务,值得信赖,且能进行即时交易。
FSMA收到的投诉包括客户无法取回自己投入的资金和投资之后无法与交易平台取得联系等多种情况。FSMA引用了某消费者的投诉。
为此,FSMA呼吁投资者保持警惕,小心任何投资欺诈迹象。该机构建议投资者验证公司身份(公司信息、所在国家等等),不要相信一家身份信息不明朗的公司。
FSMA指出,对于那些自称持有监管部门发行的执照或许可证的公司,投资者应特别注意,因为目前加密货币领域的线上平台并未受到监管。此外,这类公司成立时间通常不足1年。
投资者应主动索取清晰易懂的公司信息,并且对这类信息保持警惕。FSMA指出,很多加密货币交易平台承诺保本收益或者全面的资金保护。然而,这类承诺在加密货币领域只是一种幻想!如果平台提供的服务是假的,那么其承诺的汇报肯定也不能兑现。
该机构最后强调,投资者对于暴利的承诺应保持警惕,如果回报率高的令人难以置信,那么通常就是假的。

19 ‘Fraudulent’ Crypto Trading Platforms
Belgium’s Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) has recently warned about fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platforms. The agency also published a list of 19 crypto platforms it “has received questions or complaints from consumers about and has established indications of fraud,” the agency wrote.
They are 01crypto, Btc-cap, Capital-coins, Coinquick, Cryptavenir, Crypto-banque, Crypto-infos, Cryptos.solutions, Cryptos-currency, Ether-invest, Eurocryptopro, Finance-mag, Gme-crypto, Gmtcrypto, Good-crypto, Mycrypto24, Nettocrypto, Patrimoinecrypto, and Ydconsultant.
The agency emphasized that this list does not include all questionable crypto trading platforms – only ones which consumers have filed reports about.
Consumer Complaints
FSMA noted that several new platforms have emerged online, using the same methods to lure investors. “They claim to offer the best (or one of the best) trading platform(s) on which, both beginners and professionals” can trust and trade on instantly, the financial watchdog detailed.
Complaints that FSMA received include customers unable to reclaim their invested money and customers unable to contact the company once they have invested. “I invested via a platform that claimed to have a license,” FSMA quoted one consumer. “When I asked for the refund of my money, I was promised that my money would be refunded on a certain date. However, I have never received anything and now I do not even get access to the platform.”
FSMA’s Warning and Advice
In its warning, FSMA urged investors to be cautious and “remain vigilant for all indications of investment fraud.” The agency recommends for investors to “Always verify the identity of the company (identity details, country of residence, etc.),” as well as to “Never trust a company if it cannot be clearly identified.”
Investors should be wary of companies that claim to have a permit or license by a supervisory authority, FSMA described, adding that currently “no supervision is exercised on online platforms that are active in the cryptocurrency sector.” Furthermore, most of these companies were founded less than a year ago, the agency noted.
Investors should also “demand clear and understandable information” from the companies and “remain critical of that information,” FSMA elaborated:
Many platforms for crypto trade promise a guaranteed return or full capital protection. However, those promises are one big illusion in the crypto-coin sector! If an offer is fraudulent, the promised guarantee is undoubtedly [too].
In conclusion, the agency emphasized that investors should “be wary of (promises of) excessive profits. If a return seems too good to be true, it usually is.
