⚠️ The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed charges against several crypto platforms and “investment clubs” that, according to the regulator, defrauded at least $14 million from retail investors.
The scheme was not new — but well disguised.
🔹 What the fraudsters used:
advertising on social media;
private messengers;
fake trading interfaces that looked like real platforms;
“AI-funds”, “educational institutions”, “investment clubs”.
🔹 What victims saw:
a beautiful website;
'analytics';
pseudo-balance in the cabinet;
the illusion of control over investments.
📌 Key point:
it was not a hack or a DeFi bug, but social engineering + UI deception.
Money was not invested.
They were just transferred to fraudsters while the interface depicted 'profit'.
👉 Main lesson:
if you are shown a 'professional investment product':
without a license;
through Telegram / WhatsApp;
with their own 'terminal' —
this is a red flag, not an opportunity.
👀 Crypto scams in 2025 are not 'naive letters'.
These are well-crafted illusions of legitimacy.
