BrokerChooser's white paper, "Unmasking Digital Deception" examines the increasing prevalence of online investment scams within the EU. By analyzing data from over 1.3 million Google search results across 56 languages, the report identifies 67 entities targeting EU citizens with potentially fraudulent schemes.

Five EU countries—Germany, France, Poland, Italy, and the Netherlands—make up 86.4% of the search traffic, showing these areas are either key targets for scammers or have the most alert investors.

The white paper aims to provide actionable insights to regulators and stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of prevention in preventing investment fraud. It advocates for integrating regulatory warnings into search engine results, enhancing scrutiny of digital advertising, collaborating with domain hosting companies to disrupt fraudulent operations, and amplifying public awareness campaigns. By shedding light on the operational tactics of dishonest entities, BrokerChooser seeks to transform the abstract notion of "investment scams" into precise, actionable intelligence, thereby fostering a safer financial landscape.
