Cybercrime Southeast Europe Newsletter No. 34

Dear Clients

We would like to warn you about a scam that has appeared under the name “DGPT,” falsely presenting itself as an investment opportunity in artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency technologies. DGPT targets investors looking for quick profits in the growing AI and crypto sectors, but it is essentially based on a fraudulent MLM and Ponzi scheme.

 Although DGPT markets itself as an innovative platform, this scheme actually uses a fake app and online platforms with hidden owners. Members have reported delays or complete failures in receiving payouts, with organizers attributing this to “issues with the crypto network”—an excuse often used to prolong the scam while funds are collected. Furthermore, there is evidence linking DGPT to similar past scams, indicating that it follows a well-established scheme.

Here are several key indicators of scams like these:

Unrealistic promises of high returns – high return promises without clear explanations or verifiable results.

Recruiting new members as a condition for profit – such scams often require recruiting new members for investors to earn income, which is the basic structure of a Ponzi scheme.

Lack of transparency – the platform’s owners and developers are not publicly known, and information is often concealed.

We advise extra caution and to avoid investing through suspicious apps and networks such as Telegram and WhatsApp, as these platforms are frequently used by scammers to reach potential victims.

Please take this warning seriously and review any investment opportunities with extra care. If you have been affected by this or a similar scam, feel free to reach out to us for legal assistance and support.

Kind Regards,

Zoran Miljakovic
