Fraud forged documents from Malta's financial regulator to demand money from Bitcoin and Ethereum traders
On April 17, Finance Magnates reported that the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) issued a public warning that fraudsters forged documents from the Malta financial regulatory authority and demanded money from traders in the name of fictitious market manipulation fines to remind users to be vigilant. This scam mainly targets Bitcoin and Ethereum traders. MFSA said fraudsters sent false documents to individuals involved in BTC and ETH transactions, claiming fines for suspected market manipulation and threatening regulatory action if they disobeyed. The MFSA confirmed that these threats were purely fabricated and that the relevant documents had no legal effect. These forged letters carefully mimic the MFSA logo in an attempt to trick recipients into making payments.
