The Portuguese Securities Commission (CMVM) has added a new Investor Portal section dedicated to financial fraud and launched the social-media feature “Business, business — scams aside” to help investors recognise and avoid scams, particularly those propagated through digital channels, as part of its Financial Literacy Plan 2025. The Investor Portal section will be regularly updated and includes information on different types of fraudulent schemes, a checklist of warning signs, guidance on how to respond to suspicious approaches, and tips for identifying misuse of the CMVM’s name and logo. The accompanying social-media content is designed to provide clear, accessible messages to reinforce fraud awareness and encourage investors to verify that entities they deal with are authorised to operate in Portugal and to report suspicious activity via the Investor Portal.
