Fraude à l'investissement : voies légitimes de récupération et à éviter

If you have lost money to investment fraud—whether through a fake platform, a Ponzi scheme, or an unregulated broker—knowing the legitimate ways to pursue recovery can help you avoid secondary scams and focus on real options.

Legitimate Recovery Avenues

Depending on your situation and jurisdiction, recovery may involve arbitration or mediation (for example through a financial industry dispute resolution scheme), regulatory enforcement actions that can lead to restitution, or civil action. Document everything and report to the relevant securities regulator and law enforcement. Reporting quickly helps authorities act and can support your own case.

What to Avoid: Recovery Scams

After a fraud, many victims are contacted by people claiming to be recovery specialists. Be wary of unsolicited offers. Legitimate services do not ask for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet access. They do not demand large upfront fees before a proper review. They use official contact channels and set realistic expectations—recovery is never guaranteed. If someone promises to get your money back for a fee and contacts you out of the blue, treat it as a potential second scam.
