The Securities Commission is alerting citizens to abuses related to digital assets. The latest example of such frauds was uncovered through an operation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, which resulted in the arrest of a network of scammers operating an organized call center in Belgrade. This criminal group used false investment offers in cryptocurrencies to defraud numerous investors, with estimated losses of at least 300 million euros.
The Commission reminds the public to exercise caution when conducting transactions involving digital assets. We recommend that all potential investors use only the services of digital asset providers that are licensed by the Securities Commission and the National Bank of Serbia for conducting transactions.
We advise citizens to further educate themselves about the risks and take all necessary precautions when investing in digital tokens and other forms of digital assets.
