Fraud AlertEffective Date: September 2026
Beware of Scams Impersonating AML ZoneIn the current market for regulatory consulting, licensing support and compliance services in the virtual asset sector, cases of impersonation are not uncommon. Fraudsters may use company names, logos, employee names, websites, email addresses or social media profiles to make their communications appear legitimate.
You may receive messages offering regulatory, compliance, licensing, banking, company formation, tokenization, recovery, recruitment or investment-related services. These communications may request payments, personal or corporate information, confidential documents, or access to accounts and devices.
We are issuing this notice to help clients, partners and the public identify and avoid such schemes.
Below we list the most common fraudulent schemes so you can recognise and avoid them.
Common Fraud SchemesFake Licensing and Regulatory ServicesYou may be contacted with offers to obtain a crypto or financial licence, speed up an application or secure regulatory approval.
Fraudsters may claim to have special relationships with regulators or promise guaranteed approval in exchange for payment or confidential information.
Regulatory decisions are made by the relevant authorities and cannot be guaranteed by a consultant or intermediary.
Fake Banking ServicesFraudulent offers may involve assistance with opening corporate bank or payment accounts.
You may be promised guaranteed approval, preferential treatment or access to a particular bank and asked to transfer funds or provide sensitive company information.
Fake Tokenization or Investment OpportunitiesFraudsters may use the name of a legitimate company to promote tokenization projects, tokens, investment opportunities or other financial products.
You may be promised guaranteed returns or asked to transfer funds or cryptocurrency.
Fake Company Formation or Ready-Made EntitiesYou may receive offers for ready-made companies, licensed entities or corporate structures using the name or branding of a legitimate service provider.
Always verify the entity, licence status and transaction details independently before proceeding.
Fake Recovery ServicesYou may be contacted by individuals claiming they can recover lost cryptocurrency, frozen funds or blocked accounts.
Such requests often involve an upfront payment or additional fees before any recovery work is supposedly carried out.
Phishing and Email SpoofingEmails and messages may appear to come from a legitimate company but use a similar-looking domain, altered sender address or unofficial communication channel.
They may contain suspicious links or attachments intended to obtain credentials, documents or other confidential information.
