Offer only for a short time – also with Ulfin Investment?

Do you feel the pressure of a tight deadline? Is the provider tempting you with a special offer, but you are under pressure to make a decision quickly? This is not the best idea, because it is often a feint. Don’t rush into a decision You can not only get serious special offers now, but also invest with Ulfin Investment in the future. To achieve their goal, criminals know in detail what they have to do.

They try to get as much information as possible about their target person through well-worded requests. In addition, they ask about the constitution of the interlocutor, for example whether he is alone at home or whether he has money at home. On top of that, they play a game of “wait and see” to make the person desperate.

They may keep their counterpart on the phone until he or she agrees to go to the bank and give the fraudsters cash and other valuables. In one of these scams, a time pressure is imposed on the injured party. With that strategy, the victim is tricked into letting his personal guard down. Current support scams use the same method.

Since the contacted person’s computer is allegedly attacked by an exceptionally serious computer virus, the callers, presumably working at the behest of Microsoft or such a provider as Ulfin Investment, demand urgent payment for a maintenance contract in English with an Indian accent. The criminals increase the pressure by threatening the targeted individuals to make them pay if their computer is infected and transmits the infections.

Unauthorised transactions

Placing orders for transactions in securities without the account holder’s consent can sometimes cause the price of particular shares to jump. This applies in particular to open market transactions in illiquid foreign shares (over-the-counter market). You should therefore be alert if you are asked to disclose personal data about your investment with Ulfin Investment completely without your consent, with reference to supposedly lucrative transactions or profit announcements.

Under no circumstances should you provide your International Bank Account Number, SWIFT code and other bank codes to a third party who is not known to you. Similarly, you should not disclose your bank account or custody account numbers or passwords. Do not hand over any custody account documents or securities statements from Ulfin Investment to a third party who is unknown to you. Callers who present themselves as investment advisors, brokers or employees of a financial supervisory authority are also unpredictable.

Recognising investment fraud in principle

You want to invest capital with Ulfin Investment? In this case, you should find out all the significant facts about the company. Investment fraud is a special form of fraud. The perpetrator promises or deceives a larger circle of people about a profitable investment in the capital market. Capital investment fraud is sanctioned by a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine according to § 264a StGB.

  • Unwanted telephone advertising calls, so-called cold calling
  • Participations in share certificates, funds and certificates
  • Boiler room scam, a cold call in which investors are sought by telephone
  • Shareholdings in companies

Anyone who has fallen for capital investment fraudsters has usually invested a lot of financial resources. What can you do in case of investment fraud?

  1. Withdrawing or contesting contracts: Affected persons who have concluded a contract can take it back or contest it in the case of investment fraud.
  2. Claiming damages: People who have been wrongly advised can claim damages against the investment advisor.
  3. Involve the criminal police and the financial supervisory authority via a legal expert: There are collective police proceedings against specific fraudulent companies in Germany and also abroad. The criminal investigation department is entitled to have the accounts of the rip-off artists blocked and the assets seized. In addition, the public prosecutor’s office is called in.

Recovery scam explained simply: correctly assess providers for recovering lost investments

Anyone who has ever lost assets to a fraudulent investment platform knows how fatal that can be. That alone is bad enough. But on top of that, the rip-off artists behind the bogus entity contact you by email or phone call within a very short time. This time, however, they do not pretend to be brokers from Ulfin Investment.

Instead, they guarantee, for a fee, to provide assistance in recovering the lost capital. Many scammers even appear to have been hired or entrusted by trusted companies such as a financial regulator. After stealing your sensitive data, the rip-off artists usually pose as good Samaritans. They promise to help you recover the stolen money.

Even if you have invested money with a service provider like Ulfin Investment, your data may be stolen. Those who have lost a considerable amount of money are usually desperate. Criminals take advantage of people’s desperation by posing as “recovery companies”. They offer their services under the bogus pretext of assisting them to recover their funds. This means they securitise in a dubious manner that they will get back the money they have lost.
