    From Daily Pressure Calls to a Refund: €33,700 Recovered From EmpireFX

    The daily pressure calls from EmpireFX only stopped when Carlos asked to withdraw. The Cryptoslock custody desk picked up where they went quiet.

    Cryptoslock Custody Desk · Recovery Story · 24 Jun 2026

    EmpireFX worked through relentless contact — calls, messages, and a “senior broker” urging Carlos, a Madrid contractor, to deposit more before a “limited window” closed. He funded the account by card and crypto, watching invented gains climb.

    When Carlos requested a withdrawal, the calls dried up and a “profit tax” appeared in their place. €33,700 sat behind a wall of conditions. He came to us with his statements and the broker’s messages.

    We traced the crypto deposits to a reachable exchange and prepared the card disputes with full documentation that no genuine service had been rendered. The combined effort recovered 72% of his loss, and the case notes now reinforce our public record on EmpireFX.
