Where to go if you're scammed in investments

Where to turn for help when dealing with investment fraud is a question that arises for investors who encounter fraudulent schemes, pseudo-brokers, and unscrupulous platforms. Investments in such projects almost always result in account freezes or complete capital loss. It's important to understand: time is of the essence for investors, and the sooner legal action is initiated, the higher the likelihood of a refund.

How are investors deceived?

1. Fraudulent brokers. Operating without a license, registering offshore, refusing to withdraw funds.
2. Pseudo-investment platforms. Websites with fake projects and “guaranteed profitability”.
3. Financial pyramids. Income to new participants is paid from the contributions of old ones.
4. Crypto scams. Fake ICOs, fictitious tokens, spoofed crypto wallet addresses.
5. False lawyers and "refund companies". They promise to return the money, but they work in tandem with scammers.

What are the risks for the investor?

1. Loss of capital. Without legal protection, the chance of a return is minimal.
2. Freezing of transfers. Banks block suspicious transactions.
3. International difficulties. Offshore jurisdictions require working through international lawyers.
4. Reputational losses. Particularly dangerous for companies and institutional investors.

Investment fraud: where to turn?

1. To lawyers specializing in investment disputes

The first steps are legal analysis, evidence collection, and strategy selection. Jurisprudential determines the most effective mechanisms for recovery.

2. To financial regulators

If a company applies for registration in the EU or UK, a complaint to the FCA, BaFin, CySEC or FINMA triggers an investigation and may result in the freezing of accounts.

3. To banks and payment systems

When transferring via a bank, a transaction return (SWIFT-recall) is possible, and when paying by card, a chargeback procedure is available.

We offer a solution at the level of international standards

4. To court

Filing a lawsuit against a company or its affiliates allows for the recovery of funds and compensation. In the EU and UK, freezing orders are used.

5. To the national police authorities

If there are signs of fraud, a report is filed. The criminal investigation opens access to international inquiries and the freezing of accounts.
