Forex Trading Fraud

Offshore forex brokers promise easy currency trading profits, then vanish with client deposits.

Forex Trading Fraud
What it is

Forex Trading Fraud

Forex fraud follows a well worn pattern. An offshore broker with a polished website and a call centre sales team invites new clients to trade currency pairs with promises of steady, low risk profits. Early trades are manipulated to appear successful, encouraging the client to deposit more and often to use leverage well beyond what is prudent.

When the client asks to withdraw, the broker introduces delays, disputes the trading history, or demands additional payment before releasing funds. Signs to watch for include cold calls or messages offering forex trading opportunities, brokers registered in jurisdictions with little oversight, bonus offers with hidden conditions tied to trading volume, and account managers who call daily to push further deposits.

How Duarte & Finch helps

Investigation, tracing, and full legal representation

Our investigators trace how the brokerage is structured, where deposits were routed, and which individuals or entities controlled the platform. Forex schemes are frequently run from one jurisdiction while targeting clients in another, so we work with Interpol and relevant law enforcement bodies to pursue leads across borders and support any parallel criminal investigation.

We then build and file your case, pursue recovery of assets through the appropriate channels, and provide legal representation from the first filing through to final resolution.
