Hi All,
Please be aware if you receive an email like the following:
" Demetra Kalogirou <cysec.gov.cy@europe.com>
8:32 AM (5 hours ago)
to me
We conducted a search through a wide range of database and discovered that the number of people who are complaining about being scammed by their brokers are much, and so we have decided to reach out to as many as possibe who want their funds refunded back to them. kindly get back to us and we will help you get a refund."
It is obviously a SCAM. It is not Demetra Kalogirou from Cysec as they would lead you to believe. This is clear for the following reasons:
1. The email address used. It is not in the same FORMAT as those used by Cysec. This is what a legitamate email address from Cysec will typically look like "<info@cysec.gov.cy>". This scammer has just ripped off the last part of a legit Cysec email and used a different domain name;
2. They cannot spell "POSSIBLE" nor did they use a capital letter after a fullstop - im sure Demetra is educated enough to know how to do this;
3. The time in Cyprus at the time the email was sent to me was around 12am. I recieved a follow up email not so long ago and that would correlate to a Cyprus time of 530 am. I highly doubt Demetra Kalogirou is writing emails at 12am and 530am her time trying to help get my money back
BEWARE!!!!
