Investment fraud is a highly common scam affecting tens of thousands of people around the world each year. Scammers are highly sophisticated, using professional-looking websites and social media to mislead victims into investing.
Scammers act as licensed advisors or crypto traders with fake documents, often pressuring you to act fast or ‘miss out’. If you’ve invested money in a scam, you’ve found experts who can help you.
CybearTrace is a Cybercrime Response Service for scam victims Across APAC. Together, we can help you take action fast, secure yourself, and file a legitimate case that may help you recover what you’ve lost.
Elaine*, a 62-year-old retiree, saw a polished trading website and dashboard from a scammer. The scammer then asked her to make a small $250 deposit, which eventually led to a “test withdrawal” of $50. This arrived instantly in her bank account.
That small payout erased her doubts and built complete trust.
The scammer then pushed her to “invest more to unlock higher returns,” eventually persuading her to use credit cards and bank loans, and even to ask friends to join what looked like a credible system.
By month seven, Elaine had deposited nearly $40,000 when she was suddenly locked out of her account, and the scammer had cut off contact. She was left with growing debt, no access to funds, and deep shame. Her details were also passed on to fake Recovery Departments, which contacted her, claiming they could recover her lost funds—their real intention being to extract even more money through “recovery fees,” “legal costs,” or “administrative charges.”
