Warning! Online job scam

For some time now certain websites have been active that lure people in with the offer of a simple online job. Victims then think they have a job, but in reality the victim's bank account is used to purchase bitcoins with illegally obtained funds. The result is that the victim loses their bank account or worse.

This kind of scam is not new. It happens sometimes on Marktplaats.nl, or criminals ask students in the schoolyard if they can use their bank accounts (for a nice payment of course). However, lately the scam has been more organized, through the websites below (this list is not exclusive):

crypto-werk.nl

handelen-live.nl

If you believe you've fallen victim to this scam please contact your bank as soon as possible, and contact the police to file a report. You can also contact us if you have any additional questions.
