How to recover money from a broker

To recover money from a broker it is necessary to know that there is a big difference (when recovering our money) between regulated and unregulated brokers. In general, recovering money from an unregulated broker is more complicated as the regulated ones must follow a series of guidelines and laws, the unregulated ones do not. In your case, are we talking about a regulated broker or an unregulated one?

Another important fact is to differentiate between the types of regulation; there are good ones (from countries such as Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Poland, the Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, as well as Latin American countries; Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Chile) and there are bad ones (from countries like Seychelles, Mauritius, Romania, Estonia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, British Virgin Islands, Vanuatu – what we know as tax haven countries or islands).

If the broker has good regulation, the recovery process will be, in general, easier. These types of brokers follow at least certain guidelines and laws that protect their clients. It will also be easier for us to obtain data about the company behind the investment company.

The process, explained in a simplified way, is: gather all the evidence that we have been scammed, file a complaint with the bank or card issuer, payment processor or whatever service we used to send the money, usually bank or credit or debit card.

The money sent will remain, let's say paralyzed, until the bank, if it is the case, decides what to do with it based on the evidence we deliver. If it is proven that we were scammed, the money will go back and we will be able to recover it; if the scam cannot be verified to the bank (or relevant institution), we will not be able to recover the money.

How to recover money from an unregulated broker

Brokers that are not regulated, also called financial bars or unregulated brokers, are companies that, as their name indicates, do not have any type of regulation. They also do not have authorization to operate or receive your money.

If, for example, we go to the case of the United Kingdom, a broker that wants to work with clients from the United Kingdom must have the authorization and regulation of the  Spanish regulator, the CNMV (National Securities Market Commission). If the company does not have this regulation, we are talking about an unregulated (and illegal) broker.

Before explaining this method to rescue capital, the truth is that the ideal situation is that you realize that it is an unsafe company before investing and do not invest with it. Ideally, you should avoid investing in the first place, either because you notice something strange, something that does not convey security or for whatever reason.

How to get your money back from an unregulated broker

If you are in the situation where you have already sent money to the broker and you have noticed that it may be a scam, in our opinion, the best way to recover your money is with capital recovery experts: through this CAPITAL CLAIM service – CHARGEBACK. Try the service in English.

Simplifying the process, what you have to do is ask for your money from the broker or scamming company, we will surely be ignored, then contact the bank or card issuer and explain the situation, we sent money being cheated and we want it to be returned to us. We are victims of fraud.

The money, if we do everything correctly, will be "frozen" or "blocked" until the bank or issuer decides what to do. It is vital to prove that we were indeed scammed in order to get a successful chargeback.

It is worth mentioning that in this type of service time is crucial. Keep in mind that you will have a better chance of a successful Chargeback if you do not let a large amount of time pass..

How to spot an unregulated broker

So that you can recognize them more easily, some other characteristics of this type of broker (and in general companies that provide financial services without authorization) are:

  • They are based in little-known countries or countries, considered tax havens: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bulgaria, Dominica, Estonia, Cayman Islands, Marshall Islands, British Virgin Islands, Mauritius, Nevis, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Vanuatu, to name a few of the most popular examples
  • They have regulation, but very little serious regulation: Cyprus, British Virgin Islands, Mauritius, Malta, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Vanuatu
  • They lie about their location or regulation
  • They do not provide key information about themselves: such as location, regulation, company they belong to
  • They harass their customers with calls
  • They ASSURE you that it does not matter if you do not have experience in investments, with their experts you will still earn money
  • They assure you that they have an automated system that will help you earn money
  • Pressure to invest
  • They are interested and intrude into details of your private life; they will try to forge trust and friendship with you
  • You signed up for an online form to receive information from a company and now many companies call you, with telephone numbers from different parts of the world offering you their services
  • They will encourage you to ask for loans or borrow money from family or friends
  • They promise very high returns in a short time
  • They want you to send money in cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, etc)
  • They get upset if you ask about their regulation, location
  • They get upset if you ask about negative reviews you've read about them online

How to recover money from a regulated broker

If the recovery is done with a regulated broker we have more in our favour. We will have much more data from the broker and the broker must respond, at least in part, to the laws of the country where it resides. It is a big difference to a broker that, for example, lacks regulation and does not mention where it is located, to which company it belongs; all this makes the recovery task more complicated.

broker scam how to recover money scam complaint

Whether or not it is a regulated broker, the chargeback or money recovery procedure is also more or less similar: we have to start a dispute with the entity through which we send money. And we want that dispute to rule in our favour. For this to happen, we have to prove to the entity through which we sent our funds that we were scammed.

Conclusion

Personally, we receive daily numerous messages from clients of brokers or investment companies that, unfortunately, have lost their money based on lies, deceit and manipulation.

Every day we read hundreds of messages from broker clients who are in a very bad situation, and this really worries us. We always think of a way that we can help our website visitors.

Thus, we come today to have more than 8000 reviews of brokers from all over the world.

Here we have explained, in our opinion, the best way to recover money from a broker. We know that it is something extremely frustrating and exhausting, that is why we always recommend before investing, to investigate on your own, take your time, think it through and above all, invest money that you are willing to lose, since in the world of investments a large part of the traders lose their money, the majority.

Only a few, those with a lot of experience, can really make money from investments.

    Hello, good evening, my name is Isabela Gómez and LFNA is a scam, they tell you that they advise you, they give you access to certified courses, that they accompany you in your process to become a professional, but that is not the case, they are only interested in paying so that They activate your account and they can earn because that's what it's all about reselling and reselling that way they make money.

    Hello, I have been defrauded by xcellplus and I want to know if there is a way to sue or recover the invested capital

    • Recommended-brokers.com Reply

      Hi MARCO, thanks for writing about Xcellplus. Currently this broker is considered a SCAM.

      If you are a client, do not make more contributions, their only objective is to steal from you, they manipulate operations manually, they keep the money from when it reaches their accounts, it does not enter the market, everything is prepared for you to lose or make you lose your money to have the excuse to keep it.

      If you decide to withdraw and they request a ransom in the form of commissions, taxes, fees, legalizations, etc. Never pay it! That's the warning, from that moment you have to know that you are a client of a scam broker and no matter how much you pay you will never see your money.

      To help other users or customers, provide as much information as possible, explain how everything happened, where you saw the advertising, who called you, numbers from which you were dialed, emails and everything that comes to mind.

    good afternoon,
    I am on the platform my fourth capital, new to this world and with a financial advisor helping me.
    I made a withdrawal of 30 thousand euros, which the regulator of this Block Chain platform is called, they have withheld the money pending in my binace wallet, because they tell me that since it is a high amount, and I have no previous transactions, I have I have to demonstrate my viability and that I am not laundering money or something like that, making a transfer of 35% of that amount to this regulator, after a thousand doubts, I do that but my advisor did not take into account the commissions that they take from you, and he entered 96 euros less in this regulator.
    Now after several days, several calls that they will try to overwrite the code to see if they can not take those 96 euros into account, and when opening an extension of the binance wallet, where the money that I transferred plus what was going to appear withdraw, 41 thousand, they tell me that they have not managed to overwrite and that I have to transfer that 35% back to binance, exact amount, and that later I can withdraw my money, clearly I am not going to do it because I think it is a scam.
    I wanted to know if you can help me know where to start with denouncing them for fraud. and how can I get my money back. Thank you

      Hello Ana, can you give us the website of this platform? It is clear that they are committing a SCAM. Everything they have told you about blockchain and codes is a lie, the only thing they want is to steal more money from you through lies.

      Do not make any more contributions, their only objective is to steal from you, they manipulate operations manually, they keep the money from the moment it arrives in their accounts, it does not enter the market, everything is prepared for you to lose or make you lose your money to have the excuse to keep it.
