Online Trading Fraud

Online trading fraud covers fake CFD platforms, binary-options schemes, copy-trading apps and 'demo to live' bait-and-switch operations. Our specialists assess feasibility quickly and clearly.

Warning signs

Common indicators we look for

  • Platform demos behave very differently from the 'live' account
  • Persistent calls from 'account managers' pushing larger deposits
  • Trades you didn't authorise appear on your account
  • Profits show on-screen but cannot be withdrawn
  • Operator is incorporated in a jurisdiction with weak oversight

Our process

How we approach online trading fraud cases

  1. 1

    Platform analysis

    We examine the trading platform, terms, fees and operator entity.

  2. 2

    Transaction trace

    Cards, wires and crypto deposits are documented end-to-end.

  3. 3

    Recovery pathways

    Chargebacks, regulator complaints, and law-enforcement reporting where appropriate.

  4. 4

    Closure or continuation

    Clear advice on whether to escalate or close the matter — no upsell.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you take a percentage of recovered funds?+

Any fee arrangement is described in writing in advance. We don't operate on undisclosed success fees.

Do you guarantee recovery?+

No. No legitimate firm can guarantee recovery. We provide an honest, professional assessment and clear next steps — including the option of taking no further action when that's the right answer.

Easy Claim Refund is an independent consultancy. We are not a law firm, regulator, or government agency, and we have no law-enforcement affiliation.
