Most people who lose money to a stock market scam are told the same thing. The money is gone. You signed the forms. You clicked the buttons. Nothing can be done. We have spent the last two years proving that wrong by helping victims in stock market fraud recovery. The number sits at nearly ₹4 […]
There is a fear that keeps a lot of people from ever filing. They think: “I kept trading after I started losing, so this is partly my fault, so I have no case.” That belief costs people real money, because it is wrong. This case is the proof. Patel Nasirhusen Aaiyubahamad, an investor from Surat,
Every firm that mis-sells keeps a disclaimer. A signed form saying the client understood the risks, agreed to the terms, and would not hold anyone responsible. Firms treat these forms as armour. Shikha Sharma’s case showed how little they protect when the firm’s own words are on record saying the opposite. She paid Supreme Investrade
Some trading losses come from a bad call. This one came from a button that would not work. Bharat Bhaychandbhai Vaghari, a trader from Gujarat, was sitting on a large unrealised profit. His Bank Nifty call option had run in his favour. All he had to do was sell. He could not. And the record
An Aurostar Investment Advisory complaint ended in a decisive arbitration win for the investor, with the tribunal exposing not just reckless advice but a profit-sharing scheme that had no basis in SEBI regulations. The award was signed on 14 January 2025. The complainant was Md Tousif Uddin, an investor from Bolpur, Birbhum, West Bengal. He
You think you are dealing with a firm. A junior first, then a manager, then a senior expert who makes the real calls. Often there is no firm but a small group running roles. The junior, the manager, and the senior advisor may be the same few people. Sometimes one person works several numbers. In
An advisory took fees and disappeared. That is a different complaint from losing money on bad trades. Most recovery cases argue about the quality of advice, asking: Was the tip unsuitable? Was the risk disclosed? A non-delivery case skips all of that because you paid for a service that never came. In one settled file,
There is a version of the advisory trap that does not bother with tips at all. It takes your account. You are told the experts will handle everything so you don’t have to trade on your own. You are sometimes told to stay silent on calls and just say yes. Your job is reduced to
You paid a firm for trading advice. Then you checked, and they are not registered with SEBI at all. Not as a research analyst, not as an investment adviser, nothing. The fear that follows is understandable. If they were never regulated, who do you even complain to? Three settled files answer that. In one, a
Most people who lose money in a broker account blame the market. They look at the wiped-out balance and assume the trades went wrong. Sometimes the trades barely moved. The account was drained by charges. In one settled file, a client’s realised trading loss over ten weeks was 8,068. His brokerage over the same period
A small refund from an advisory is the claim most people never file. You lost 50,000, maybe 65,000, and you have talked yourself out of chasing it three times. The reasoning goes like this. The amount is too small. The process sounds long. A firm with lawyers will not bother with you, and even if
Most complaints against an adviser turn on what someone said on a phone call. Whether recovery was assured, whether a stop loss was refused, or whether the advice was useful. Those are winnable arguments, and they are also arguments. A fee is different. A fee is a number, on a date, in a bank record,
