The approach looks professional. Whether a specific contact falls under it is something that has to emerge case by case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What it may indicate<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">Repeated and insistent contact with an urgent investment proposal, combined with time pressure, can be an indication of an organised calling operation. It need not be, but it invites caution. Only investigation of the party and the flows of funds gives certainty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<div class=\"pterm-ex\">Someone was called several times by a smooth talking adviser with an offer that would only apply that day. After putting in money, further contact became difficult. Whether it was a constructed structure can only be assessed after investigating the party and the funds.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">Tegoeden die rond een platform een afwijkend beeld geven, kunnen raken aan wat onder <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/signals-and-risks\/suspicious-exchange-pattern\/\">verdacht exchange-patroon<\/a> wordt beschreven.
