Fake pages imitating SRF
If you saw a story with the SRF logo about an investment platform, it is probably a copy. SRF has nothing to do with it: someone copies its design to make an ad look like news.
We have seen 7 screenshots with this design, from 7 platforms. The real SRF site is srf.ch. If the address is different, it is not SRF.
How to spot the copy
- Check the address bar: the copy lives on another domain.
- Click the menu: on the copy, sections lead nowhere or all go to the form.
- Look for the story on the outlet's real site. If it is not there, it is fake.
- A news outlet does not end a story with a form asking for your phone number.

- Do not pay anything else, even if they ask for "taxes" or "fees" to release your money.
- Call your bank today: block your card and request a chargeback or a transfer recall. The sooner, the better your chances.
- Do not install anything they ask for (AnyDesk, TeamViewer…). If you did, uninstall it and change your passwords.
- Report it to the police and your country’s regulator, and keep screenshots, emails and phone numbers.
- Beware of "fund recovery" companies that will contact you promising to get your money back for a fee: they are almost always a second scam.
