The key areas of cooperation will be the fight against investment schemes and telephone fraud. NCFM regularly monitors companies offering excessive profits or operating in the cryptoasset market without NCFM authorization, and then passes data on unlicensed platforms and financial pyramids to law enforcement authorities (e.g. the case of the TUX platform or dubious cryptocurrencies).
If you are a victim of online fraud related to financial services, the NCFM recommends that you immediately contact 112 and save all screenshots of correspondence and transactions. The police use state-of-the-art cybercrime investigation equipment to collect digital evidence in financial cases.
Cyber fraudsters are on the move
The IGP and NCFM jointly inform citizens about schemes where cybercriminals pose as police officers or bank employees to gain access to accounts. Mass phishing attacks and mailings via WhatsApp and Viber using fake official IDs have been recorded.
According to the Inspectorate General of Police (IGP), the number of criminal cases related to various forms of online fraud has increased from 450 in 2023 to 950 in 2025.
Banking and IT crimes are not uncommon either. Since the beginning of 2025, Moldova has recorded more than 1,200 financial and banking crimes committed via the Internet. The total amount of damage in these cases exceeded 200 million lei.
In total, 23,118 crimes of all types were registered on the territory of Moldova in 2025.
Major joint investigations (NCFM and IGP)
One of the largest cybercrimes in Moldova is the TUX platform case. Within this case, 3 criminal cases were opened for illegal business activities and fraud. The estimated damage from this financial pyramid scheme exceeds 40 million euros.
