Overview

What this involves

Forex fraud usually begins with an unregulated broker or a person posing as an "account manager" who approaches you through social media, a cold call or a shared trading platform. They promise steady returns and show fabricated profits on a dashboard built to look legitimate.

Deposits are typically pushed through card payments, wire transfers or cryptocurrency. Once larger amounts have been paid in, withdrawal requests are met with invented "tax", "regulatory" or "verification" charges - a final advance-fee stage designed to extract more money before the operation disappears.

Our team traces where your trading deposits actually landed, identifies whether the firm held any licence, and assembles a court-ready evidence file. Depending on how you paid, recovery may run through a card chargeback, a bank scam-reporting recall, or civil action against identifiable parties.

We coordinate with payment providers, regulators where appropriate, and our international legal network, while a single case coordinator keeps you informed at every step.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I get my forex money back?

It depends on how you paid and whether the receiving parties can be identified and reached. Card and some bank transfers can be reversed through chargebacks or recall schemes, while crypto and wire transfers often require tracing and legal action. Our free assessment tells you honestly which routes are realistic.

My broker says I owe tax before withdrawing. Is that normal?

No. Legitimate, regulated brokers do not ask you to pay tax or clearance fees out of your own pocket before a withdrawal. This is a classic advance-fee stage of a scam, and you should not send more money.

Is it too late if the scam happened months ago?

Not necessarily. Chargeback time limits vary by card scheme and bank, and tracing or legal routes can remain open longer. It is always worth an early assessment.

Do you handle unregulated brokers overseas?

Yes. We assess cross-border cases and work with an international legal network, though recovery prospects depend on the jurisdiction involved.

What evidence should I gather?

Deposit receipts, card and bank statements, screenshots of the platform and profits, all correspondence with the "broker" or "account manager", and any wallet addresses. Even limited information can be a starting point.
