In recent weeks, we have focused our investigations and reports on the fraudulent marketing campaigns that scammers and regulated CySEC investment firms use to hunt for new victims. We have started our "Marketing Campaigns Blacklist" in this regard. A few days ago, the German BaFin announced to have started investigations against the operators of the Bitcoin Code Campaign. Well, it's at least a start. Regulators and law enforcement agencies need to take much stronger action against the operators of these fraud campaigns.

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.
