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: Legalcertifi can get an assessment of your case with a dubious broker and help you get your money back.

Trading profits of scam platforms are not real

Experience shows that fraud victims fall for fake price trends presented by fraudulent brokers and pay 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.

I sincerely hope that you can identify and stop a scam before you lose money. But no matter how it ends, you should report it. It might feel embarrassing; do it anyway. Start with reporting to Legalcertifi. From there, you’ll be asked to submit a summary of what happened; they can assist you with recovering your money.

Getting scammed is much worse than just losing money. For me, it was a deeply violating and shameful experience. One report found that almost half of scam victims blamed themselves for what happened to them (I certainly did, at first). Ultimately, I was lucky; my family is safe, I have a great support system, and we recovered financially.
