First-hand insights on financial security and citizen protection
Raising awareness about financial pyramid schemes at the "AFM Online 2026" forum
Financial pyramid schemes are increasingly disguising themselves as modern online projects, investment platforms and "quick money-making opportunities".
At the "AFM Online 2026" forum, we shared our experience and discussed the most common tactics used by fraudsters to draw people into questionable schemes — from promises of easy income and guaranteed returns to referral bonuses and transfers to bank cards belonging to private individuals.
We thank the Agency for Financial Monitoring for organising a platform for open discussion on financial security, fraud prevention and the protection of citizens.
