Becoming a victim of fraud can be traumatic and can feel completely out of your control. At Fund Recovery Experts, we are committed to providing straightforward, actionable advice and professional support to empower your recovery. Below is a set of frequently asked questions designed to take you step by step through the recovery, avoidance, and verification processes.
Q1. What is the recovery fund used for?
A recovery fund covers essential activities like forensic tracing, legal representation, investigative reporting, and administrative costs involved in identifying scammers and recovering lost money.
Q2. How to recover money from a fake website online?
Preserve evidence—screenshots, invoices, communications—then report the site to authorities and your payment provider. Experts like ours use digital forensics and legal channels to trace and recover funds where possible.
Q3. What to do if you’ve been scammed online in the UK?
Report it immediately to Action Fraud, contact your bank to dispute charges or trigger Section 75 protections, and consider filing a faster Payments reimbursement. For complex cases, escalate to the Financial Ombudsman and seek support from Fund Recovery Experts.
Q4. Can I retrieve money sent to a scammer?
Possibly—but speed is vital. Card and bank transfers increase chances when acted upon quickly; wire transfers, cash, or crypto are harder to reverse. Timing, payment method, and investigative support are key.
Q5. How to recover funds from a scammer?
Start by gathering as much evidence as possible, reporting to banks and authorities, and then engaging fund recovery professionals who specialize in transaction tracing, negotiation with financial institutions, and legal claims.
Q6. Will the bank refund money if scammed?
For unauthorized transactions, yes—they often refund if reported promptly. However, for voluntary payments to scammers, banks may decline. Professionals can negotiate chargebacks or escalate to ombudsmen to improve odds.
Q7. How to track down someone who scammed you?
Tracking scammers involves digital forensics—IP tracing, device data analysis, and tracing financial flows—working with banks, exchanges, and law enforcement. Fast action can significantly improve success.
Q8. What is the 90% rule in forex?
This cautionary guideline states that about 90% of new forex traders lose 90% of their capital within 90 days—a reflection of the market’s volatility, leverage risks, and lack of preparation.
Q9. How to find a legit broker?
Seek brokers regulated by recognized authorities—FCA (UK), SEC (US), ASIC (AU), CySEC (EU). Confirm regulation through official registries and review transparent disclosures, fund segregation policies, and reliable customer feedback.
Q10. How to check if someone is a registered broker?
Visit the website of the relevant regulator, enter the broker’s name or license number, and verify registration details and any disciplinary history.
Q11. Can scammed funds be recovered?
Yes, especially when reported quickly and if payment methods are traceable. Efforts may involve banks, regulators, and legal tools. However, recovery becomes more challenging with offshore, unregulated entities.
Q12. Which brokers are not regulated?
Unregulated brokers typically avoid listing a valid license, operate from offshore jurisdictions, offer unrealistic guarantees, pressure for deposits, or prevent withdrawals. These are high-risk and often blacklisted by experts.
