Beware of Fake Recovery Services
Canadian investors are being warned to remain extra vigilant against fraudulent schemes linked to entities operating under names such as AI Tek-Invest, AI Invest, Aitek-Invest, and AiVistaFX. These imposters falsely claim an affiliation with Independent Trading Group (ITG) Inc. and promise services to recover funds lost to fraudulent cryptocurrency companies. In reality, they are not connected to the CIRO-regulated firm ITG Inc.—the only legitimate website for ITG Inc. is www.independent-trading-group.com.
Scheme Details
- Imitation Websites:
The fraudulent AI Tek-Invest website closely mimics the previously flagged AiVistaFX site. Visitors are redirected to a PDF document that fraudulently displays the CIRO logo and forged signatures, including that of CIRO CEO Andrew Kriegler. - Deceptive Communications:
Scammers are using newly discovered email communications and impersonating credible names to deceive potential victims. They target individuals who have already suffered financial losses, promising to recover funds for an upfront fee—a tactic known as an investment recovery scam. - Misleading Claims:
These entities claim to be affiliated with ITG Inc. and offer recovery services for funds lost in cryptocurrency scams. However, their claims are entirely unfounded, and CIRO explicitly states that these recovery services are not legitimate.
How to Protect Yourself
- Verify Independently:
Always confirm any communication by visiting the official ITG Inc. website at www.independent-trading-group.com. - Check Registrations:
Use the National Registration Search of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) or contact CIRO’s Complaints & Inquiries team to verify the legitimacy of anyone claiming to represent CIRO. - Research Thoroughly:
Look for red flags such as inconsistent email addresses, forged documents, or urgent requests for fees.
