Beware of Bank Guarantee Fraud. Bank Guarantees are a way to ensure promises are kept and payments are made. You would need one when you plan a building project, buying or selling across borders, borrowing money. Today, fraudsters are trying to fake those Bank Guarantees. Typical red flags would be the promise of a risk free investment opportunity, offers only valid for a very short period of time, unusual upfront fees, etc. To make sure you avoid such scam, please read carefully our note on the matter click here.
