The FSMA has received information in recent months about identity theft from Belgian intermediaries. English-speaking fraudsters are wrongfully using their names to trick consumers.
The fraudsters usurp the name and other legal information of Belgian intermediaries. In most cases, the swindlers use a website with an internet address that gives the name and contact information of the intermediary in question.
The FSMA knows of several cases of this form of fraud, in which the identity of legally registered intermediaries is stolen.
