The number of entities identified by the Bank of Russia with signs of illegal activity increased 1.6 times in 2024 compared to 2023. This is reported in the materials of the Central Bank.
The regulator has identified more than 5 thousand financial pyramids, almost 2 thousand illegal professional participants in the securities market and 1.5 thousand black creditors.
The number of illegal immigrants has increased primarily due to the actively created pyramid Internet projects and unfair investment proposals, the Central Bank emphasizes.
The regulator draws attention to the fact that pseudo-investment schemes are one of the trends of recent years. Many pyramids and pseudo-brokers convince people to invest in crypto projects and profitable stock purchases.
Most often, attackers attract customers through social networks and personal consultations in telegram channels, but cold-calling schemes have also begun to return.
