The Internet offers many opportunities to invest money online and, if possible, increase it. Trading seems temptingly easy with huge profit opportunities. But in addition to the fundamental difficulty of actually ending up with a profit in serious trading, dubious trading platforms try to prevent supposed profits from being paid out.

Investment fraud on trading platform! What to do?

Our partners at Watchlist Internet provide recommendations for action if the trading adventure has gone terribly wrong.

  • make any further deposits . Don't let the supposed advisors put you under pressure. Don't believe their promises, they just want to steal more money from you!
  • Contact your bank or credit card company. It may be possible to get the money back. Act quickly!
  • Report it to the police .
  • Report the platform to the Internet and Financial Market Authority in Austria or the whistleblower office of the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, Bafin.
  • Beware of subsequent fraud . Often you will contact the criminal again after a certain period of time. They pose as authorities such as the Financial Markets and Stock Exchange Supervisory Authority , lawyers, Interpol or foreign police authorities and pretend to help you recover your losses. This is also a scam. Ignore such contact attempts.
  • Beware of offers that promise to get you back the money you lost. This is also fraud.
  • If you have financial problems, debt counseling can help you .
