Cyber trading fraudersts have found a new disguise for their payment transactions with the aid of cryptocurrency exchanges. They help their victims with the set up of a so-called wallet (account) with the help of a TeamViewer. The victims will subsequently transfer their funds to the account of the cryptocurrency exchanges. Henceforth the funds will then be exchanged into cryptocurrencies, usually Bitcoin. Subsequently the bitcoins have then been transferred to the fraudsters.

The following cryptocurrency exchange services have been abused: BITSTAMP, JUBITER, BITPANDA, KRIPTOMAT, COINBASE and KRAKEN.

Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to track down the cyber fraudsters in this way. For this reason, we now also offer investigations into cryptocurrency transactions with the help of external partners.
