Belgium's Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) warns of fraudsters who tamper with big banks' identities。

The principle remains: contact the victim by phone or email without any prior action by the victim himself or herself or by entering contact details in an online form。Such forms are often made available to consumers through social media, advertising, or sponsored publications。

The scammers then offer consumers savings plans that promise a return that exceeds the market rate of return, and often also provide a guarantee of funds。But the end result is the same: victims find themselves unable to recover their funds。

The Financial Services Authority (FSMA) recently found that fraudsters used the names of multiple banks to deceive consumers.。The regulator received reports of crooks using the following bank names:

1. BGL BNP Paribas Fortis, using "@ bglgestionprivee.e-mail address ending in "com";
2. Bunq, using "@ epargnebunq.e-mail address ending in "com";
3. Fineco uses the "@ fib-gestion".com "and" bfigestion.e-mail address ending in "com";
4. Revolut-épargne, using the.e-mail address at the end of com ';
5. Triodos uses the "@ triodos-europe.com "and" @ triodos-finance.e-mail address ending in "com";
6. London Stock Exchange, using the "@ lse-gestion.e-mail address ending with "com" and "www2.lse-private.com "website。

Fraudsters may also misappropriate the names of other financial institutions。
