If you’re a victim of pump and dump fraud, we can help you reclaim your lost money with our proven recovery process.

Some of the frauds we investigated

What is a pump and dump scam? 

Pump and dump scams are when influencers, or people who invest, create hype around a stock or cryptocurrency by fake claims or exaggerated statements.

How does a pump and dump scam start?

Firstly, there’s initial pumping - this is where scammers choose or create a low-market-cap stock that’s easy to manipulate. Then they create excitement, spreading fake news and social media hype to drive up demand. More investors buy in, pushing the price even higher.

What happens next? 

Once the price peaks, scammers “dump” their holdings, selling off the stock at its inflated price. This causes the value to suddenly drop, leaving investors stuck with worthless stocks and significant financial losses.

What happens after?

After scammers dump the holdings, the stock’s value typically crashes back down to its original level or even lower. The fraudsters often walk away with substantial profits, leaving regular investors to bear the financial losses.

How to spot pump and dump scams

Big promises and price spikes

Be wary of investment advice or “hot tips” that promise quick, high returns. If a stock’s value is soaring without clear reasons – like major news or partnerships – it could also be a red flag.

Putting pressure on

Scammers often rush you into investing by making it seem like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Legitimate investments don’t rely on high-pressure tactics. Take a step back if you’re feeling pushed to act fast.

 

Do your due diligence

Always research any investment thoroughly. Look for credible sources of information and avoid relying solely on social media or anonymous tips. Be cautious of potential investment with little trading history and ensure you use trusted and regulated platforms.

More about Payback and our Fraud Investigation Services

About Payback

PayBack has only one mission: to protect people from frauds and scams online worldwide, whatever it takes. We help victims of online fraud retrieve what is rightfully theirs using our Investigation Reports and tailored Action plans. Although several types of scams have stood the test of time and are constantly growing in number of victims, new scams constantly pop up. Our job is to stay updated on both old and new scams to help the victims and inform our clients on how to stay safe in the future. We aim to be the number one company in the world to whom people can turn when they try to protect themselves from scams or when they need the tools to fight back after being a victim.

Very often, recovering losses from a scam doesn’t require a lawyer, court, or the legal system in general. Processes such as ADR allow one to retrieve money lost to a scam without a lengthy legal procedure. Yet to do that, one needs to be familiar with the ADR process, with the intricacies of the bodies involved, and armed with the needed evidence. This is where our Investigation Reports come in handy. The investigation report not only finds and gathers all the needed evidence in one place, but it also provides a suggested Action Plan that guides our clients through the retrieval processes (such as ADR) and shows them step-by-step how to navigate them and what exactly they should do to retrieve their losses.

Unfortunately, no. For example, some scams involve people taking cash from their victims. Such cases rarely have a successful outcome, and we make sure people who come to us with such cases know it. It is very important to us to be transparent with our clients, and we make sure to give them an honest and straightforward assessment of their case and what we believe they can expect in terms of retrieval of losses. So, if we believe you can do nothing to retrieve your money, we will tell you so immediately.

This is exactly why our “Free consultation call” practice is in place. It gives you a chance to tell us what happened and get our initial thoughts free of charge. Once we present our opinion and similar cases we’ve dealt with before, you can make a more educated decision about whether our services are for you or not. So, before making a decision, secure a free consultation, and let’s move on from there.
