CONSULTATION FOR ONLINE FRAUD
SCAMS AND FRAUDULENT TRADING

The spread of internet fraud is constantly increasing.
Online fraud, financial scams and fraudulent trading affect thousands of savers in Italy every year, causing huge economic losses and serious personal distress.
Consider that, according to the Postal Police, in recent years online fraud has increased by over 20%, generating over 137 million euros in illegal profits for fraudsters.
Faced with these crimes, it is essential to rely on legal support to protect your rights and seek to recover the lost funds in Italy.

• Our competencies include:
  • LEGAL CONSULTATION IN CASE OF ONLINE FRAUD
    • Our legal consultation in case of online fraud begins with attentive listening to the client and a detailed analysis of what happened.
    • We will evaluate the circumstances of the fraud, identifying the most appropriate legal tools to act against those responsible.
    • Filing a report with the competent authorities, such as the Postal Police, is often the first essential step; L'Aurora Law Firm supports victims also in this phase, ensuring that all evidence elements (transactions, communications, emails, chats) are collected correctly.
    • Subsequently, we develop a customized legal strategy. Depending on the case, we can constitute you as a civil party in any criminal proceedings against the fraudsters, initiate a civil action for damages or undertake other initiatives useful for recovering the money obtained through deception.
  • REPORT ONLINE CRYPTO TRADING FRAUD
    • Fake online brokers and unauthorized investment platforms represent one of the types of most insidious financial fraud.
    • These sites promise investments in forex, cryptocurrencies or other assets with extraordinary returns and apparently low risks.
    • In reality, these are often fraudulent schemes in which the money deposited by users is diverted to foreign accounts and becomes irrecoverable.
    • Many victims only realize it when they try to withdraw their funds and at that point, the so-called brokers disappear or request additional payments.
    • Consob, the financial markets supervisor, has already shut down over 1,300 illegal trading websites since 2019, proving the spread of these scams.
    • L'Aurora Law Firm has developed experience in combating this type of financial scams: from support in filing complaints and reports with competent bodies (Postal Police, Consob) to initiating targeted legal actions.
  • ONLINE FRAUD FUND RECOVERY
    • Recovery of money lost due to online fraud is a complex process, but our law firm explores all possible legal avenues to help you recover your money.
    • It is essential to act promptly: as soon as the fraud emerges, emergency procedures can be activated to try to block money transfers abroad or freeze any accounts linked to fraudsters.
    • For example, if payment was made via bank transfer or credit card, we can assist the client in requesting a block of the transaction or a chargeback with the credit institution involved.
    • In parallel, we evaluate initiating legal actions aimed at recovering fraudulent trading funds, possibly also through class actions if there are multiple victims of the same scheme.
    • Although it is not always possible to fully recover the stolen amounts, a well-targeted legal intervention can significantly increase the chances of success.
  • OVERINDEBTEDNESS PROCEDURE FOR VICTIMS OF ONLINE FRAUD
    • If the loss of money caused by online fraud has compromised your ability to meet your debts, you can file for overindebtedness procedure (former Law 3/2012, now Crisis Code).
    • L'Aurora Law Firm can assist you from document collection to plan homologation with the Court, negotiating with creditors and protecting your essential assets.
    • Together we will evaluate the requirements, draft the proposal and accompany you step by step towards new financial sustainability.

SCAMS ONLINE TRADING PONZI SCHEMES

• In the digital world and also in your city, using virtual tools, financial fraud takes many forms, from online investment scams to Ponzi schemes, to scams and fraudulent online trading.
• These scams promise easy and secure gains, exploiting poor knowledge of financial markets and the illusion of exclusive opportunities.
• Often, behind apparently reliable platforms, lie illegal systems that attract investors with misleading promises, hiding the real nature of the risk.
• To defend yourself, it is essential to recognize the characteristics of these scams and adopt appropriate legal measures to protect your investments.

• What are the main characteristics of online Ponzi schemes?
  • These schemes are distinguished by promises of high returns, where profits are funded by money from new investors and not from real investments.
  • Furthermore, they present a lack of transparency in fund management and use persuasive techniques and technical language to give an appearance of legitimacy.
• What legal measures can be taken to protect investors from these fraudulent schemes?
  • To protect yourself it is essential to consult professionals specialized in financial law and online fraud.
  • They will be able to analyze the legitimacy of investments by carefully examining the documentation, act promptly to initiate legal actions aimed at recovering funds, where there are valid grounds.
  • Provide comprehensive support, from preventive consultation to legal representation.

LEGAL SERVICES COMMON EXAMPLES OF ONLINE FRAUD

• PONZI SCHEMES AND FAKE FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS
  Victims are attracted by promising high returns in a short time. In reality, new investments serve only to pay old investors until the system collapses, leaving most people without a penny.
• FRAUDULENT TRADING PLATFORMS
  Websites apparently legitimate that offer trading on forex, cryptocurrencies or stocks, but without any authorization. The fraudsters behind these platforms (often based abroad) disappear as soon as the victim tries to withdraw the invested capital.
• PHISHING AND IDENTITY THEFT
  Deceptive emails or messages that mimic communications from banks, postal services or known companies, inducing the user to provide access credentials or security codes (OTP). Criminals use them to empty bank accounts or make fraudulent payments in the victim's name.
• ROMANCE SCAMS
  The scammer, through dating sites or social networks, fakes emotional involvement and, after gaining the victim's trust, invents emergencies or opportunities to get money sent. These scams can last for months, causing significant economic and psychological harm.
• FAKE LISTINGS AND ONLINE SALES
  Listings of non-existent products or never shipped, posted on fake e-commerce sites or through social profiles. Victims pay for goods at advantageous prices that they never receive, or are directed to cloned pages of known stores, created to steal credit card data.
• IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECOVER MONEY LOST IN ONLINE FRAUD?
  Full recovery of the stolen amounts unfortunately is not guaranteed, but with legal intervention in the right times the chances of success increase significantly. Each case of fund recovery from online fraud is evaluated individually.
