Claim money back from the broker

Not every shady broker on the Internet is necessarily a scammer. However, dubious financial service providers may be deficient in terms of customer friendliness and transparency. A fraudulent broker, on the other hand, acts deliberately and deceives its customers in order to obtain funds illegally. Even if you are dealing with a scam broker, you can still claim your money back.

 However, you should ask yourself a few questions before doing so: 

  • Why exactly do you want your money back? 
  • Was there a breach of obligations on the part of the broker? 
  • Did you suffer losses that do not correspond to normal investment risk? 
  • Were cryptocurrencies used without your consent? 
  • Is a payout blocked or unreasonably delayed? 

Authorities such as financial regulators and police agencies are already warning about fraudulent brokers in the online space. It is therefore advisable to find out about the broker in advance and, if you suspect fraud, to act quickly to reclaim your money.

Often, warnings from the authorities reach the affected investors too late, which can lead to significant financial damage. But there is help: on the aforementioned website you can get a free initial assessment of your case with a dubious broker. To do so, use the contact form or send us an uncomplicated e-mail. Our initial assessment provides you with a first orientation and allows for concrete advice on further steps. 

The possibilities of fraudulent brokers are manifold and there are numerous constellations in which they do not act in the interest of their customers. Whether and to what extent you can reclaim your money depends on your individual case. However, it should be noted that some dubious financial service providers can maintain a reputable appearance over a longer period of time. If higher sums are involved, we recommend discussing your case with a lawyer. He can check whether you have a claim for repayment against the dubious broker and enforce it unerringly.

Fraudulent broker refuses payout?

In case of a fraudulent broker, affected persons should act immediately to avoid the total loss of their invested funds. It is advisable to pursue the flow of funds and the perpetrators legally as soon as possible in order to increase the chance of recovery. We have noticed that fraudulent brokers often contact potential victims via the Internet. They use promotional videos on YouTube or specifically search social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Twitter as well as chat messages for "suitable fraud victims."

A personal exchange between the supposedly reputable broker and the fraud victim is sought in order to build a relationship of trust. Many victims therefore wait too long before reclaiming the money from the broker, as they feel emotionally abused and do not want to admit that they have been defrauded. This leads not only to financial loss, but also to severe emotional damage.

In addition to pursuing the perpetrator through the legal system, it is advisable to talk about the incident on a purely human level with a trusted person. Such support can help to process what has been experienced and reduce emotional distress. It is important to be able to exchange ideas in a trusting atmosphere and not have to deal with the consequences of the incident alone. Such support can also help to regain trust in other people and strengthen one's own self-confidence.

Trading profits of scam platforms are not real

Experience shows that fraud victims fall for fake price trends presented by fraudulent brokers and pay in large sums of money. The supposed trading platforms used for this purpose are in fact not real trading platforms, but merely websites designed to deceive potential victims and extract as much money as possible. The scam victims even get a customer account with the trading platform, through which they can log in during the alleged trading and observe the supposed profit increases.

Reclaim your lost money from the fraudulent broker

The displayed profits and charts on the broker's platform are not real, but just impressive graphics. Herein lies the problem with the broker. Once victims of this scam ask for their money back, the scam is exposed. Although considerable profits are shown, they are not paid out - not even the initially invested funds. Despite multiple requests, no transfer is made to one's bank account.

Broker refuses to pay out: money "frozen"? Fraudulent brokers are extremely creative when it comes to making their victims believe that a payout is not possible at the moment. A popular scam is to claim that the "finance department" has temporarily blocked the payout due to a money laundering check. This lie is meant to make it appear that it is a normal process that will only take a few weeks.

Other invented reasons of the investment scammers can be:

First, a tax payment must be made before a payout can be made. Fraudsters send fake tax notices and manipulated documents purportedly issued by a tax office to deceive their victims.In many cases, victims are told that a fee must be paid before any winnings can be paid out. This fee often includes a commission based on the profit supposedly made.The scammers ask their victims to perform a so-called "mirror transaction" in which they are supposed to make another deposit in the amount of the desired payout. However, this transaction is just another scam.To further deceive their victims, the scammers often ask for proof of their liquidity in the form of another deposit before a payout can be made.These schemes are further sophisticated attempts to deceive the victim into believing that they are serious business transactions. If one invests even more money as a result, there is a threat of even greater financial damage than already. It is important to protect yourself from such scams and not to be blinded by supposedly professional operations.

Brokers' documents are forged: In order to deceive the fraud victims and make them make further deposits, the fraudulent brokers resort to considerable amounts of document forgery. In doing so, they rely on professional image editors who design deceptively genuine documents.

These fake documents show supposed EU financial regulation authorities, tax investigation agencies, Interpol, Europol, blockchain companies and other issuers. However, in reality, these documents are not from the mentioned institutions.

This shows that the fraudulent brokers are by no means acting in a disorganized manner. Rather, they are highly complex fraud networks that use web designers as well as image editors and psychologically trained "personal handlers."

Highly professional approach of the perpetrators

Fraud victims fall into the clutches of an extremely dangerous and widespread criminal organization that proceeds with high energy. It is therefore not surprising that law enforcement agencies around the world are cooperating to take effective action against these fraudsters.

For inexperienced investors, the documents often look so authentic and trustworthy that they make further deposits. If you want to reclaim money from your broker, you must declare the total amount of loss, including the initial investment, further deposits and any fees paid.

It is important to store all the received documents in a court-proof manner, as they serve as evidence of the fraudulent actions. These documents constitute forgery under criminal law.

Take immediate action in case of broker fraud!

It is of utmost importance that all payment service providers involved are contacted by a lawyer immediately. These are banks in Germany and abroad, as well as crypto exchanges or other financial institutions. Only by taking such action can the money flows be traced and the assets be secured in the best possible way.

In addition, the relevant international financial supervisory authorities should be involved, as fraudulent brokers are usually not based in Germany. It is important to consider the foreign connection and take the appropriate steps to hold the broker accountable. The recovery of the money is only one part of the comprehensive case handling.

To get a first orientation, it is recommended to take advantage of the free offer of an initial assessment by a lawyer specialized in broker fraud. This will provide concrete feedback that can serve as a basis for further steps. Get in touch via the contact form or by e-mail to make use of this offer.
