Investment Scam Recovery Services

If You’ve Been A Victim Of An Investment Scam, Our UK-Based Scam Recovery Solicitors Can Help You Recover Your Funds – With No Upfront Legal Fees.

An investment scam is a fraudulent scheme where a scammer attempts to deceive you into investing, but their real goal is to steal your money. If you are unfortunate enough to fall victim to such a scam, the results can be devastating, both financially and emotionally. Scammers often build trust through flattery, making you believe their offer is only available to select individuals or that they have already invested in themselves. Sadly, these opportunities are usually too good to be true.

Investment scammers impersonate legitimate companies or financial professionals and promise high returns with little or no risk in order to tempt their victims. They often pressure you to act quickly, claiming that the opportunity is time-sensitive or exclusive, leaving limited time for independent research. Misleading information or false credentials are deployed in order to make the investment opportunity appear legitimate.

Some of the more sophisticated scams can involve:

• Fake companies
• Fake cryptocurrencies and even
• Fake investments that don’t really exist

Many scams are Ponzi schemes, where the fraudsters use new investors’ money to pay earlier ones, making it seem like profits are being made —when in reality, the whole scheme is a facade.

• Pension liberation fraud – Encouraging early pension transfers into high-risk or fake investments.
• Ponzi & pyramid schemes – Using new investors’ money to pay old ones until the scheme collapses.
• Binary options trading scams – High-risk bets on market movement run on fake, manipulated platforms.
• Boiler room fraud (fake stockbrokers) – Pushy sales tactics to sell worthless or non-existent shares.
• Carbon credit or green energy scams – Selling fake or overpriced environmental investments.
• Fake investment firms using cloned FCA-authorised details – Impersonating real firms to appear credible and steal funds.

Each of these scams typically promises abnormally high returns with little risk, uses sophisticated websites and materials, and creates artificial urgency to prevent due diligence.

To spot an investment scam, watch out for promises of guaranteed high returns with little or no risk. Be cautious if you are pressured to invest quickly, or if you are told the offer is “exclusive” or “secret.” Always research thoroughly before investing and consult the FCA Register to check whether the adviser is authorised.

Other warning signs include:

• Clone companies using the details of genuine firms
• Refusal to send written communication, preferring phone or instant messaging only
• Use of complex jargon meant to confuse

If in doubt, remember the golden rule; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

A recovery room scam is a scheme that exploits victims who are already desperate to get their money back. Falling for a scam for a second time can cause further financial and emotional harm. Fraudsters pose as lawyers, regulators, or legitimate recovery firms, claiming they can trace stolen funds — but they’re just setting up a second scam.

Common red flags to watch out for include:

• Asking for upfront fees
• Fake legal documentation
• High-pressure sales tactics

Always check and verify that you are dealing with a legitimate firm. Solicitor, for example, can be found on the SRA Register. A properly regulated firm displays its credentials.

To check if an investment company is real, start by consulting the FCA Register. If the company is incorporated, search for publicly available information at Companies House.

Also check:

• Company’s website and contact information — professional firms use secure (HTTPS) websites
• Independent reviews and warnings, e.g. on Trustpilot 
• Matching contact details across sources

Always cross-check information. If anything feels suspicious, speak to a FCA-regulated financial adviser before investing.

Yes, recovery is sometimes possible — but acting quickly is vital.

Take the following steps:

• Whilst recovering money lost to an investment scam can be difficult, acting quickly improves your chances.
• Report the scam immediately to Action Fraud.
• Contact your Bank or credit card provider if you paid by bank transfer or credit card to request a reversal of the transaction.
• Avoid “recovery services” that charge upfront fees because many are scams themselves.

The sooner you act, the better your chances of recovery.

Be extremely cautious – this could be a recovery room scam. Legitimate firms do not usually make unsolicited approaches to victims or engage in cold-calling. Protect yourself by:

• Research the company making the approach thoroughly.
• Checking if the solicitor is on the SRA Register.
• Search online for reviews, and verify contact details.
• Do not share personal or financial information, and never pay upfront fees.
• Avoid companies that guarantee success or pressure you to act quickly.

When in doubt, consult a trusted legal professional before responding. Protect Yourself – Speak to a Regulated Solicitor Now!
