Unfortunately, there are cases when clients of brokers encounter unscrupulous companies or unethical practices. In such situations, the question arises: how do I get my money back?
How to recognize a fraudulent broker?
Promise of guaranteed profits: you should be wary if a broker guarantees you high profits without risk.
Aggressive marketing: intrusive calls, promises of "golden mountains", bonuses for quick account opening - all this can be a sign of fraud.
Pressure on the client: a broker may rush you to make a decision, artificially creating a sense of urgency.
Non-transparent terms and conditions: scrutinize contractual documents and trading conditions. Ambiguities, lack of key information is a reason to doubt the reliability of the broker.
Ways to get your money back
Filing a claim: in accordance with the broker's regulations, you can file a claim stating the essence of the problem and requesting a refund.
Mediation: if direct dialog with the broker does not bring results, you can try to resolve the issue through a mediator.
Regulatory bodies:
Self-regulatory organization (SRO): brokers must also be members of an SRO. You can file a complaint with the SRO to which the broker belongs.
Legal action:
Legal action: if other ways don't work, you can take legal action against the broker.
Important:

Be vigilant: do not trust dubious offers and promises of guaranteed profits.
