How losses unfold
It moves from curiosity to commitment fast. A helpful ‘account manager’, a chart that only goes up, and a sense that stopping now would waste the gains. The gains are fictional; only the deposits are real.
Red flags on file
- The company name appears on a regulator or fraud-warning list (IOSCO I-SCAN (New Zealand – Financial Markets Authority)).
- You are pushed to deposit more before you can take anything out.
- Guarantees of returns, ‘insured’ funds, or ‘risk-free’ trading appear anywhere in the pitch.
- Support goes cold or aggressive the moment you mention withdrawing.
If you have already engaged
Recovery is never guaranteed, but the odds improve the faster the money is traced and the cleaner your records are. Keep the wallet addresses, dates and amounts; avoid anyone promising a certain refund for an upfront payment.
