Attackers use the name, logo and MFSA signature, sending fake documents by email. Mostly scammers are aimed at traders selling bitcoin and ether. Fraudsters threaten to take court measures against them if they do not pay a fine.
The department emphasized that these fake documents have no legal force, and recommended that the recipients of the letters check the identity of the senders. Evils can check whether the provider of financial services has a license through the official MFSA register.
Last year, MFSA released a similar warning when scammers once again tried to pass themselves off as officials of the department, distributing fake documents and emails.
