Warning signs to recognise
- New deposits are requested through crypto, wire, or gift cards — channels that are hard to reverse once funds leave your account.
- Account managers apply pressure — urgency, bonuses, or threats of “losing your position” — to keep you paying in.
- Clients are steered toward connecting a wallet, installing remote-access software, or sharing a seed phrase — none of which a legitimate broker would ever require.
- Withdrawals stall, get delayed, or are blocked behind sudden “tax”, “insurance”, or “anti-money-laundering” fees — money you should never have to pay to access your own balance.
What to do next
Gather everything you can: transaction records, wallet addresses, deposit receipts, and any messages with the platform’s representatives. This evidence is what makes a recovery effort actionable, and it is the first thing our team reviews.
Do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw. If First Private Equity Group is demanding more money before releasing your funds, that demand is itself the strongest confirmation of the fraud. Our analysts can review your case and lay out the realistic next steps.
