Among the many cases handled by his office, one attracts particular attention: a false trading scam that ensnared dozens of Marseille residents and caused significant financial losses.
A big financial scam
Recently, Jocelyn Ziegler noted a worrying increase in the number of people falling victim to fraud related to fake trade in Marseilles. One of the most notable scams involves the theft of the comedian’s identity Gad Elmaleh. A fake interview with the star circulated on the Internet encouraging readers to invest in a fraudulent trading platform, Quickeobst.com.
“Many victims were misled by this fake interview, thinking it was financial advice from Gad Elmaleh. In reality, it was a well-orchestrated scam that resulted in people sometimes losing more than 80,000 euros.”explain Jocelyn Ziegler. The company immediately took steps to denounce this fraud through a detailed article published on its website.
Defense of victims of financial fraud
Ziegler & Associates quickly became a resort for the residents of Marseille who were victims of this scam. The stakes for the victims are significant: finding the funds invested and identifying those responsible for the fraudulent platform. But these procedures are complex, especially since the fraudsters often operate from abroad, hidden behind shell companies.
“In this type of business, it is essential to react quickly. The longer we delay, the harder it will be to track financial flows. We are fighting for our customers to get their money back and to hold those responsible for these scams accountable.”specifies Jocelyn Ziegler. Lawsuits are already underway, but the road is long and full of pitfalls. The company is not giving up and is still awaiting a response from the judicial authorities.
The importance of online vigilance
This case highlights the scale of online financial fraud and the need to be vigilant against misleading content. The use of celebrity images such as Gad Elmaleh is a common method of attracting the attention of potential investors and giving them a sense of security. “Fraudulent platforms are on the rise and it is imperative that everyone exercise caution before investing. You should never rely solely on an online ad, even if it appears to be from a credible source.advises the lawyer.
Before any investment, it is essential to check whether the platform is regulated by a recognized financial authority, such as The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (AMF) In France. This simple check can avoid a lot of disappointment.
