Have You Been a Victim?

Financial mis-selling occurs when financial products are sold to consumers through deception, pressure, or inadequate disclosure. Online investment platforms have become notorious for these practices.

Many people have fallen victim to sophisticated schemes where platforms misrepresent their services, provide unsuitable advice, or use manipulative tactics to extract money from unsuspecting investors.

Common Examples Include:

  • Investment misrepresentation and fraud
  • Online trading platform scams
  • Payment protection insurance (PPI) mis-selling
  • Cryptocurrency and forex trading scams
  • CFD (Contract for Difference) trading platforms
  • Insurance products sold unnecessarily

What is Financial Mis-Selling?

Financial mis-selling occurs when a financial product or service is sold to you in a way that is misleading, deceptive, or inappropriate for your circumstances. Online investment platforms have become increasingly sophisticated in their fraudulent practices.

How Online Platforms Deceive You

Fake Investment Claims

Platforms claim to invest your money in markets but actually keep it, betting against you. They profit from your losses because the money was never truly invested.

Unsuitable Advice

Being given financial advice that doesn't match your risk tolerance, financial situation, or investment goals.

Products You Didn't Understand

Being sold complex financial products without proper explanation of how they work, the risks involved, or the potential for loss.

High-Pressure Tactics

Being pressured into making quick financial decisions, often with artificial urgency or limited-time offers.

Digital Manipulation

Platform tricks like sudden blackouts preventing transactions, inability to close positions, or manipulated charts designed to strip away your earnings.

Manipulative Relationships

Agents who deliberately cultivate overly friendly or intimate relationships to build false trust and manipulate you into risky investments.

How to Spot Financial Mis-Selling

Recognize the warning signs that you may have been a victim

Substantial Losses from Advice

Unsuitable Products

Products sold to you were not aligned with your financial situation, needs, or stated investment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about making a claim

Once you decide to entrust your claim with us, the procedure is the following. Firstly, our team of Lawyers carefully drafts your claim with all evidence required. You may be asked to provide to us some of the evidence required (which shall be easy). Then, we formally present our case to the Trading Platform using all legal formalities imposed by the national legislation of the country of residence of the Trading Platform.

From there we commence the negotiation stage during which we negotiate with the Trading Platform in order to recover all or part of your losses - during this stage you are consulted by our Lawyers in order to give permissions for the acceptance of the counter-proposals of the Trading Platforms. In addition, as a scammed investor who reported a scammer you may be eligible to become beneficiary of an Investor Compensation Fund. Thus, our Lawyers will also explore this possibility/alternative.

Please note that, most of the brokers are registered at some European country's official regulatory body which is usually the Financial Markets Regulatory Authority of that country (e.g. AMF in France, Consob for Italy, CySEC for Cyprus, FCA for Britain etc.). And it is sometimes necessary to report the incident to the relevant Authority.

At the end of the negotiations and should you are satisfied with the result, an Agreement with the Trading Platform will be signed and you will receive back all or part of your losses.

There is a number of parameters that could influence the time your trading claim may take to conclude. First, is the complexity of your case and the number of evidence we will have to present in the claim. Second, the amount of your losses and the duration of your relationship with the Trading Platform can influence the preparation time for your claim.

Also, the particular characteristics of your communications with the Agents of the Trading Platform could add some complexity in the preparation of your claim and, thus, add some days to the conclusion of the case.

In some instances it may be necessary to report the incident to the relevant Financial Market Regulatory Authority of the country of residence of the Trading Platform. Furthermore, we should also consider the alternative of applying for a compensation to the relevant Investor Compensation Fund, if any in the relevant country.

In any case, bear in mind that we also wish that your case is successfully closed as soon as possible because our fee depends on it!

We act on your behalf on a Contingent Fee Agreement more commonly known as a "NO-WIN, NO-FEE" Agreement. This means that our legal fee for the preparation and the negotiation of your claim shall be contingent upon the result obtained.

Therefore, you shall have no legal obligation to pay us if nothing is recovered from the Broker.

Your compensation will depend on the particular characteristics of your case, namely the amounts lost, the circumstances that lead to your losses, the advice that you have been given by the Agents/Brokers etc. It is therefore impossible for us to provide an exact figure before investigating your case based on the information you give us.

However, as a general principle the purpose of a compensation claim is to put you back in the position you would have been in, if you didn't receive the negligent advice to trade CFDs by the Agents/Broker. Therefore, if you did receive negligent advice, we will seek to recover all of your losses. Other characteristics of your case may compel us to advise you to make a more pragmatic claim or to accept a counter-offer from the Trading Platform.
