Crypto Scams: 5,000 Entities Banned in France, But Crooks Are Still Innovating

Crypto Scams: 5,000 Entities Banned in France, But Crooks Are Still Innovating

The Rise of Crypto Scams in France The cryptocurrency market is a high-reward, high-risk investment avenue-a fact well exploited by fraudsters. Crypto scams have surged in France, leaving thousands financially and emotionally devastated. Fraudsters are finding new ways around even the most intense regulatory measures, including advanced technologies like AI to make their schemes more convincing. The allure of cryptocurrencies often blinds investors to the dangers; caution is called for. Crypto Scams: A Growing Threat Recent figures demonstrate the incredible rise in crypto fraud within France: 3.2% of the population reported having been scammed in 2024, from just 1.2% in 2021. Victims of fictitious loans report average losses of €19,000, while fraudulent savings accounts cost individuals up to €69,000. The notorious “OmegaPro” case saw investigators recover €268 million in criminal assets. Fraudsters often pretend to be celebrities, public figures, or financial experts to make victims do their bidding. Fraudsters use AI to make the story sound plausible, hence turning a mere scam into an authentic one. The consequence is enormous losses in potential revenue and a lack of faith in the crypto markets. How Regulators Are Pushing Back The regulators have started to clamp down harder on crypto fraudsters in France: Blacklisted 5,000 unauthorized entities since 2022 Spotted and blocked 350 fraud websites. Some campaigns have been run to make investors aware of the risks, but the scammers are constantly finding ways to adapt. Among fraudsters’ current favorites, so-called “square” fraud involves re-contacting past victims with promises of help in recovering lost money before further exploiting them. How to Protect Yourself: Investors Beware The French Financial Markets Authority has given some lucid advice on how individuals can look after themselves. Among this advice is checking any investment entity or platform against official registers. Be wary of promises of quick or exorbitant returns. Never give out sensitive information to sources that are unverified. Report immediately to the authorities any suspicious activities. As the AMF warns, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Vigilance and education are the strongest tools against these ever-evolving scams.
