Quishing: New Phishing Attacks Tactics Rising

The intelligence unit has reported that there have been cases of large-scale embezzlement from ordinary people through different types of frauds, such as Ponzi schemes or Multi Level Marketing (MLM) organizations, in Bangladesh.

A lot of people in Bangladesh have been scammed by investing in a Ponzi scheme called Onpassive, which is a similar MLM company. Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2012, passive trading is an offence.

BFIU advises all to refrain from committing crimes by investing, trading, facilitating and promoting transactions in non-passive or such fraudulent Ponzi schemes.
