ECB warns of frauds with invitations for digital euro
The European Central Bank (ECB) has issued a warning about a fraudulent scheme involving investments in digital euros, promising high returns with no risk. Scammers are sending fake letters from the ECB inviting citizens to participate in a supposed pilot project for the digital euro and encouraging them to invest money. The ECB clarifies that it does not offer investment products related to the digital euro and does not solicit investments from the public. Citizens are advised not to respond to these offers, transfer any funds, or share personal or financial information. If someone believes they have fallen victim to fraud, they should contact local authorities.
