Criminals aim to misuse this data for financial gain, emphasizing the need for vigilance. Unfortunately, the online trading industry is not immune, exemplified by a 2021 Europol collaboration that dismantled a €30 million ($36 million) investment fraud and money laundering ring.
To safeguard against such threats, always verify your interaction with the official Virturo platform and representatives, preventing falling victim to impostors.
