Investment fraud, generally not well known to the general public, is a form of fraud in which scammers propose consumers to buy shares or other fictitious or worthless financial products. 

 

Febelfin, the FSMA, the Federal Police and the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium jointly developed an informative video to raise awareness of how investment fraud works. This initiative aims to protect the general public from the traps of scammers by explaining how to recognise alarm signals. 

 

The video features several stakeholders, including a victim, a bank's fraud department, the FSMA, a commissioner of the Federal Police and Febelfin. The aim is to make people aware of the risks of fake investments, which frequently appear on social media and have already made many victims in Belgium.
