We launch a Marketing Campaigns Blacklist to fight investment scams

Currently, fraudulent marketing campaigns around Bitcoin, blockchains, and cryptocurrencies are sweeping the Internet like viruses in a global pandemic. The sole purpose of these campaigns is to generate a stream of constantly new victims for illegal investment offers. CySEC-regulated investment firms are the best clients for the organizers and operators of these campaigns. The websites we uncover typically disappeared soon after. However, too many scam campaigns like Bitcoin Profit or Bitcoin Prime run on too many bad websites. Hence, we start our marketing campaign blacklist.
