Dear Clients,

We inform you that some of our clients were invited this week to give statements before the prosecution in cases where we have filed criminal complaints. This represents a significant step in the proceedings and indicates that the prosecution is actively working on further reviewing the collected evidence. We will continue to monitor every step and keep you updated on any new developments.

Regarding the increasingly frequent scams, we would like to draw your attention to another serious threat that has emerged under the name “DGPT.” This scam falsely presents itself as an investment opportunity in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and cryptocurrencies.

What you need to know about the DGPT scam:
DGPT targets investors by promising quick profits from the growing AI and cryptocurrency sectors. However, it is actually a fraudulent scheme based on MLM and Ponzi structures.

Although the platform portrays itself as innovative and advanced, reported payment delays, hidden ownership, and excuses like “technical issues” point to a classic scam. The organizers use fake apps and online platforms to deceive investors.

How to recognize such scams:

  • Unrealistic profit promises: High returns on investments without clear evidence or concrete information.
  • Dependence on new members: The success of the investment relies on recruiting new people, which is a hallmark of Ponzi schemes.
  • Lack of transparency: Information about the owners and organizers is hidden.

How to protect yourself:
We recommend exercising extra caution when investing, particularly through platforms that communicate via networks like Telegram and WhatsApp. These channels are often used by fraudsters to target potential victims.

What can you do if you are a victim of fraud?
If you have been affected by this scam, we invite you to contact our office. Filing a criminal complaint is the only way to begin the process of recovering your money.

Our legal team is here to provide you with support and legal assistance.

 

Kind Regards,

Zoran Miljakovic
