January 21, 2026As 2026 marches on, cybersecurity specialists and consumer advocates are raising concerns over a fresh wave of increasingly sophisticated scams. While online fraud is nothing new, recent months have seen a noticeable shift in both scale and complexity.
Scammers are no longer relying solely on poorly written emails or obvious fake websites. Instead, they are deploying polished platforms, convincing narratives, and even AI-assisted communication to exploit trust.
Among the scam types gaining traction are crypto investment scams, where victims are persuaded to transfer digital assets into fraudulent wallets under the guise of high-yield opportunities.
Stock trading scams have also resurfaced strongly, often involving unlicensed brokers who promise exclusive access to “insider” strategies. At the same time, credit card phishing scams continue to evolve, mimicking legitimate payment providers with alarming accuracy. Binary options and forex scams, once considered niche, are now targeting a wider audience through social media and messaging apps.
PayBack Expands Its Services
This changing landscape has prompted PayBack to widen its array of services, positioning itself as a comprehensive support hub for scam victims. The company now provides advanced cyber investigations, crypto asset tracing, and targeted investigations into forex, binary options, and stock trading scams. These services aim to reconstruct the fraud, identify responsible entities, and document findings in a way that supports potential recovery efforts.
“Scams today are far more structured than people realize,” explains Amir Geva, CEO of PayBack. “Victims often feel embarrassed or overwhelmed, but what they’re facing is organized and deliberate. Our role is to bring clarity and professional insight to a very confusing situation.”
Beyond investigations, the company has strengthened its professional consulting services, assisting clients with scam restitution strategies, Alternative Dispute Resolution guidance, claims management, and forced account liquidation processes where applicable.
According to Amir Geva, many victims struggle not because options don’t exist, but because they don’t know which path is realistic. “We help people understand what can be done, what cannot, and where their efforts are best focused,” Geva says. This practical approach has become increasingly relevant as scammers operate across jurisdictions, making recovery a legal and procedural challenge rather than a simple technical one.
PayBack has also expanded its B2B cyber investigation services, responding to growing demand from businesses affected by digital fraud, internal breaches, or targeted financial scams.
For organizations, timely cyber investigation can be critical in limiting losses and protecting reputations. As Geva has noted in recent discussions, corporate victims face pressures that go beyond finances, including regulatory exposure and client trust.
