The CMVM (Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários) issued an alert about new financial scams that are emerging in Portugal. These frauds use fake videos, promises of guaranteed profits, and pressure tactics to force victims to make quick decisions.
The scammers contact potential victims unexpectedly through multiple channels, including phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp, email, and social media like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
The CMVM recommends that investors be suspicious of any unsolicited communication that promises guaranteed returns and that they always verify the legitimacy of investments before acting.
