Types of trading scams
Forex and cryptocurrency scams
With the rise of digital currencies and online trading, scammers are creating even more fake investment platforms promising high returns. It is not unusual for clients to be able to withdraw small amounts at the early stages, a tactic used to build trust in hope the client deposits additional funds. It is often later that victims discover the platform is fraudulent and their funds are no longer accessible.
Investment scams
Scammers pretend to be legitimate financial advisors or firms, offering exclusive investment opportunities. Usually, they use persuasive tactics to gain trust and promise guaranteed profits. Once victims invest, the scammers disappear, leaving them with significant losses and no way to recover their money.

I was victim of a complex crypto currency scam
I was victim of a complex crypto currency scam back in 2019 and 2020 and I lost a considerable amount of money. A friend saw the advert and recommended NR to me. I made contact and then exchanged a lot of data with Caitlin at NR, who then put into a Claim to the two banks involved. We got a partial refund from one of the banks within a short period of time and the Claim is being actively pursued. I would, without hesitation, thoroughly recommend this firm of Lawyers.
