Stopping the advance-fee cycle at Dual Trade

After losing money to Dual Trade, a victim was contacted by a “recovery agent” demanding an upfront fee to get it all back — a second scam in disguise.

What we found

We confirmed Dual Trade as an unlicensed operation and identified the “recovery agent” as part of the same advance-fee fraud ecosystem targeting prior victims.

What we did

We intervened before any further payment, documented both layers of the scam, and pursued the original deposits through the receiving platforms.

The outcome

The client avoided a damaging second loss, and the original deposit trail is being pursued through legitimate channels.

Amounts are rounded and identifying details are altered to protect client confidentiality. Recovery outcomes vary case by case and are never guaranteed.
