Since the late summer of 2023, a fraudulent pyramid scheme has been established under the name DCPTG, not only in German-speaking countries, but also in other countries, whose operators promise "passive income with just 3 clicks a day". This is said to be "a blockchain-based AI trading system for cryptocurrencies" that claims to detect alleged small price differences when trading Bitcoin, for example, on various trading platforms and thereby promises profits of two to five per cent per day.
In fact, the operators of this fraudulent system have repeatedly paid out funds to their victims and sent them gifts, not only keeping them happy but also making them their accomplices. DCPTG therefore has many positive reviews on TrustPilot, for example. Many participants in the pyramid scheme seem to believe that they have become financial professionals and are generating real profits and doing something good for the people they recruit to make a deposit with DCPTG.
In reality, however, the financial transactions shown in the DCPTG backend do not take place. Payouts are financed from the deposits of new victims. The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has issued a warning against DCPTG.
Anyone wishing to avoid prosecution for involvement with DCPTG should contact their local police as soon as possible and confide their knowledge of DCPTG to the relevant officers.
