Description
XXXX 2023, I was reached by individuals, acting on the behalf of and/or through the Internet-platform XXXX. he individuals contacted me, explained to me and made me believe that their platform and its operator are completely licensed and qualified to trade regulated financial products and to provide financial advices for the benefit of an unlimited number of individuals. Being extremely pushy and aggressive in their approach towards me and exploiting the lack of special knowledge and skills on my side, these persons persuaded me that they are completely legitimate, which influenced also my decision to invest substantial amounts on their platform. At a later stage, my research shows that there have been published numerous warnings against said platform that clear evidence that the platform XXXX, does not have a license to trade regulated financial products such as they advertise on their site. Deceiving me and promising substantial and rapid return of my investment, the unlicensed financial broker demanded from me to initiate series of payments within short period of time. I was deceived that these payments are for funding my segregated financial investment account, but no part of these transactions was ever used for financial trades. In consideration of the beneficiaries and the lack of financial brokerage license of XXXX it is impossible that the unlicensed brokers maintained segregated financial investment accounts of their clients. Therefore, we assume that all payments were laundered by the Merchant and I was put in deceit that I can really place trades and participate on regulated financial markets. For a certain period of time after an imaginary investment account, I had access to my account with XXXX. After a while, my personal profile was closed without my consent, and all my attempts to get my funds back into my " investment '' account were unsuccessful. As a result of the interaction with the aggressive Merchant, I lost XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) paid in multiple transactions. The payments were initiated through my account with WELLS FARGO BANK. WELLS FARGO never warned me about potential risks associated with those payments. I have tried to resolve the issue with WELLS FARGO. On XXXX, a Letter of Demand claiming compensation was sent to the bank. As of today, the bank has not offered a compensation for the losses I have suffered.
