If You Think You Are A Victim of a Boiler Room Fraud
Here are some steps that it is suggested that you take
1) Contact your local police and report the fraud to get a crime number
2) Call your own bank and inform them of fraudulent activity and request
them place a trace on the swift codes for the accounts you paid the money
into and if possible try and recall the funds. If you believe fraud was
involved they apparently have a duty to contact the receiving bank.
3) Email the SEC agent Scott Frost with your info on frosts@sec.gov
4) Possibly ring the US Secret Service. They apparently have the power
to freeze accounts.
Here is a link to some further advice from
the SEC.
