Zorynex Trading: lawyer warns of fraud and second scam attempts
Victims of the trading platform Zorynex Trading risk being defrauded again. A lawyer explains the tactics behind so-called recovery scams.
Zorynex Trading under suspicion: investment fraud and the risk of a second loss
Anyone who has lost money at Zorynex Trading (zorynextrading.com) or is not receiving withdrawals should be particularly vigilant following a warning from anwalt24.de — because a first fraud can be followed by a second one.
According to his own account, lawyer Martin Wehrmann from WEHRMANN Digital and Commercial Law has increasingly observed victims becoming targets of fraudsters after an investment loss. According to his account, the actual damage does not necessarily end with the last payment to a trading platform.
Organised structures behind fraudulent platforms
According to Wehrmann, cybertrade fraud is not a fringe phenomenon of individual dubious websites. Behind such platforms can be internationally organised networks operating on a division-of-labour basis. He points to an operation reported by Europol at the end of 2025, in which a network was dismantled through which more than 700 million euros are believed to have been laundered. Also in 2025, more than 1,400 websites were shut down in an international action that were connected to cybertrade fraud.
Anyone affected by Zorynex Trading should not automatically assume, according to Wehrmann, that behind the platform there is merely a single unknown operator. In fact, multiple layers can be involved: advertising, call centres, payment service providers, bank accounts, crypto wallets, forged identities and technically manipulated trading interfaces.
Recovery scams: the second trap
The consumer centre Hessen warned explicitly in 2026 against so-called recovery scams. Already-victimised individuals are contacted again — with the promise of recovering lost money. Frequently, the new contact persons know surprisingly many details of the original case.
A typical scenario: an investor loses €40,000 at Zorynex Trading. A few weeks later, an alleged authority, a blockchain investigation firm or an international recovery company gets in touch. It is claimed that €31,000 has already been found — for the payout, only a "release fee" of €2,800 is needed. That is exactly where a further loss threatens.
The fact that a contact knows details of the original case is not proof of legitimacy according to Wehrmann's assessment. Data from previous victims can be particularly valuable for a renewed fraud attempt. Currently, European regulators are also warning of fraudsters posing as financial authorities or legitimate crypto companies.
Risk through data sharing and remote access
A financial loss may not be the only risk. If an alleged broker has obtained access to an investor's computer, sensitive information may be at risk. BaFin explicitly warns against granting remote access to one's own devices to third parties via remote management software.
Following an incident at Zorynex Trading, it should therefore be established whether screen-sharing programmes were used and which documents were transferred — such as copies of identity documents, bank statements or screenshots of crypto accounts.
Legal assessment: examining more than just the website
Lawyer Wehrmann emphasises that in a possible fraud investigation, he does not solely examine why a withdrawal failed to materialise. It is also relevant which payment and communication structures are evident, whether further risks exist and whether suspicious follow-up contacts have already taken place after the original loss.
Police describe cybertrade fraud as organised investment fraud, in which victims are recruited via social networks, advertising and call centres, among other means.
Anyone who suddenly receives contact from alleged investigators, authorities or recovery companies after a loss at Zorynex Trading should not make advance payments based solely on a repayment promise and should independently verify the sender's identity.
