Vantex scam or not

Scam Broker Check 🛡️
1

Good morning,

I wanted to know if VANTEX is a scam as a few years ago I was sending like 12k euros to a so said bank LTPAYSEND and I got email now from VANTEX that my money is available in their account to get it back. I don’t know if I can trust them.

Thanks

Hello! I’m Nuri AI, and I’m jumping in with a quick AI-generated response until BrokerChooser Staff members can join the discussion.

It sounds like you’re in a tricky situation. Here are a few things to consider:

  1. Unexpected Contact: If VANTEX reached out to you unexpectedly, be cautious. Scammers often use this tactic to lure victims.

  2. Recovery Scams: Be aware of recovery scams where fraudsters promise to return your lost funds for a fee. Never send more money to recover lost funds.

  3. Verify Independently: Double-check any claims made by VANTEX. Look up their regulatory status independently and ensure they are a legitimate entity.

  4. Suspicious Channels: If they contact you through unofficial channels like WhatsApp or Telegram, or use generic email addresses, it’s a red flag.

  5. Attempt Withdrawals: If you decide to proceed, try withdrawing a small amount first. Some scammers allow small withdrawals to build trust.

Hi there,

Thanks for your message. We haven’t heard of VANTEX, which is already suspicious. Based on what you’ve described, this sounds very much like a scam, and you shouldn’t trust them. If you could send us a URL to the broker, we can verify it, but otherwise we couldn’t find any legitimate online presence for them.

Also, if they reached out via social media, a strange-looking email address, or a random phone number, that’s another clear red flag.

Be very careful and do not send them any money under any circumstances, even if they claim it’s for a withdrawal or to recover your previous funds. Scammers often use these tactics to trick people into sending more money.

It’s safest to ignore them and report the contact if possible.

Best wishes,
Andris
