Investment Scams We Recover From

From fake trading platforms to sophisticated Ponzi schemes — our specialists have recovered funds from every type of investment fraud.

Fake Forex & Crypto Trading Platforms

Fraudulent online trading platforms that display fake profits, refuse withdrawals, and ultimately disappear with your funds. Often promoted through social media ads and influencer endorsements.

  • Unrealistically high guaranteed returns
  • Withdrawal requests denied or delayed indefinitely
  • No verifiable regulatory license

Ponzi & Pyramid Schemes

Investment schemes that pay early investors using money from new investors, creating the illusion of legitimate returns until the scheme collapses and operators disappear with remaining funds.

  • Consistent high returns regardless of market conditions
  • Pressure to recruit new investors
  • Vague or secretive investment strategies

Unregulated & Rogue Brokers

Offshore brokers operating without proper regulatory oversight who manipulate trades, charge excessive fees, and make it impossible to withdraw funds once deposited.

  • Registered in offshore jurisdictions with lax oversight
  • Aggressive sales tactics and account managers
  • Sudden account freezes when withdrawal requested

Pig Butchering (SHA ZHU PAN)

A sophisticated long-con where scammers build romantic or friendly relationships over weeks or months before introducing a "lucrative" investment opportunity, ultimately stealing everything deposited.

  • Unsolicited contact via dating apps or social media
  • Gradual trust-building before investment mention
  • Fake platform shows growing profits to encourage more deposits

Binary Options & CFD Scams

Fraudulent binary options and CFD platforms that manipulate price feeds, rig outcomes, and use high-pressure tactics to keep victims depositing while making it impossible to profit or withdraw.

  • Trades always seem to expire just out of the money
  • Bonus conditions make withdrawal nearly impossible
  • Account managers push for larger deposits after losses

ICO & Token Sale Fraud

Fraudulent Initial Coin Offerings and token sales that raise funds from investors with promises of revolutionary technology, then disappear (rug pull) once sufficient funds are collected.

  • Anonymous or unverifiable development team
  • Whitepaper with vague or plagiarized content
  • Sudden liquidity removal and project abandonment

Red Flags of Investment Fraud

Recognizing these warning signs early can help you avoid further losses and strengthen your recovery case.

Guaranteed High Returns

No legitimate investment can guarantee consistent high returns. Promises of 20–100%+ monthly returns are a hallmark of fraud.

Withdrawal Difficulties

Legitimate platforms process withdrawals promptly. Constant delays, new fees, or tax requirements before withdrawal are major red flags.

No Regulatory License

Always verify broker licenses with SEC, FCA, ASIC, or relevant regulators. Unregulated brokers have no accountability when things go wrong.

Unsolicited Contact

Cold calls, social media DMs, or emails promoting investment opportunities are almost always fraudulent. Legitimate brokers don't cold-solicit clients.

Pressure to Recruit

Being encouraged to bring in friends and family for bonuses is a classic pyramid scheme tactic. Legitimate investments don't require recruitment.

Vague Documentation

Legitimate brokers provide clear terms, audited financials, and transparent fee structures. Vague or missing documentation is a serious warning sign.

Offshore Operations

Brokers registered in Vanuatu, Seychelles, or other offshore jurisdictions with minimal regulation are extremely high risk and difficult to pursue legally.

Urgency & FOMO Tactics

"Limited time offer" or "exclusive opportunity" pressure tactics are designed to prevent you from doing due diligence. Legitimate investments don't expire in 24 hours.
