Solicitation Tactic Catalog

Based on accounts shared within communities, this section introduces common solicitation tactics seen in investment fraud and unregistered business, presented in an anonymized and generalized form.

The solicitation tactics introduced on this page are organized as generalized "patterns" based on multiple accounts shared within communities, as well as public awareness materials published by authorities such as Japan's Financial Services Agency and the National Consumer Affairs Center, and have been anonymized and generalized so that no specific real firm or individual can be identified. They do not name or otherwise identify any specific real firm or individual.

Even if you have experienced a similar solicitation, the content of this page alone should not be taken as a determination of the legality or illegality of any specific party.

In preparation. Please check back later.
