    FMA

    Fraudsters are also “early adopters” and are the first to make use of new technologies and to exploit them for illegal purposes. Fake crypto-investments, fraudulent trading platforms and bogus celebrity endorsements using deepfake technology are a booming area. These are the findings of statistics compiled by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) about consumer enquiries and investor warnings in the past year. “In 2024, too many people have fallen for fraudsters’ schemes in the hope of making money quickly”, remarked the FMA’s Executive Directors Helmut Ettl and Eduard Müller. “Even if their methods are modern, they use the same old stories to lure in their victims. High returns with a low risk. Secret investment tricks that the banks won’t tell you about. And which you need to take advantage of quickly, and not asking questions. And so on and so forth: if something sounds too good to be true, then it is probably a lie,” Ettl and Müller added.
