Citizens are warned about new investment frauds circulating online and on social networks. According to the National Financial Market Commission, scammers use deceptive advertising materials, which mimic mass-media institutions and exploit the names and images of public figures, to promote false investment opportunities, reports IPN.
The supervisory authority mentions that the schemes often include well-known names, such as Mircea Snegur or Maia Sandu, to create a false appearance of credibility. Platforms such as “Harmony Bitspire” and “Nexura AI” are promoted as innovative investment solutions, based on modern technologies or non-existent special financial programs.
The schemes use manipulation techniques and psychological pressure, including promises of guaranteed earnings or unrealistic returns, “limited offers” and urgent requests for money transfers. Sometimes they present fictitious government programs or falsified documents, images, and videos, including clones of official websites.
CNPF emphasizes that this information is false and represents attempts at online fraud. Citizens are advised not to provide strangers with bank details, personal information or confirmation codes, and not to make transfers without rigorous verification of the platform.
