We have identified organised attempts by third parties impersonating Evest through lookalike websites and unauthorised contact accounts.

In reported cases, individuals have contacted customers, claimed that old balances or positions were still available, and then requested an upfront payment to “release” or “recover” the funds.

These individuals, websites, and accounts are not connected to Evest.

This page explains how these impersonation attempts work, the warning signs to look for, how to verify that you are dealing with the official Evest platform, and what to do if you have already been contacted or made a payment.

Three important facts to remember

Before anything else, remember these three points:

Evest does not send customers ready-made usernames or passwords.
Evest does not operate a “recovery” department, service, website, or separate recovery platform.
Evest does not ask customers to make an upfront payment to an external party in order to release funds or complete a withdrawal.

If someone claiming to represent Evest does any of these things, stop the conversation and verify the contact through Evest’s official channels.

What to Do If Someone Contacts You

If you receive a suspicious call, message, or login link from someone claiming to represent Evest, take the following steps:

Stop the conversation. Do not reply to further messages.
Do not make any payment, regardless of the amount or explanation provided.
Do not send identity documents or personal information.
Keep the evidence, including screenshots, phone numbers, website addresses, messages, and the date and time of contact.
Verify the information directly with Evest through an official channel.
Change the password on your real account if you have used the same or a similar password elsewhere.
Report the incident to the relevant authorities in your country.

Do not continue communicating simply to find out whether the person is genuine. Verify independently through the official Evest platform.

If You Have Already Made a Payment

If you have already transferred money, act as soon as possible.

Contact your bank or payment provider immediately and explain what happened. Depending on the transaction and payment method, there may be options to stop or dispute it.
If you sent identity documents, report that separately. Exposure of identity documents may require different protective measures from those used for a disputed payment.
File a formal report with the relevant authorities in your country and provide any screenshots, correspondence, phone numbers, transaction information, and website addresses you retained.
Notify Evest so the incident can be added to the reports being tracked and handled through the appropriate internal procedures.

How the Evest Impersonation Scam Works?

Based on cases reported directly to us, the approach usually follows a recognisable pattern.

It often begins with a phone call from someone claiming to represent Evest or a supposed “fund recovery department”.

The caller may tell you that you have an old balance, investment, or position that has remained open for a long period and offer to help you recover the money.

The conversation may then move from the phone call to a personal messaging application.

You may be sent login credentials — a username and password that you did not create yourself — and directed to a website displaying what appears to be a trading dashboard.

The dashboard may show balances, positions, or account information in your name. In the reported cases described here, those figures were fictitious.

The next step is typically a request for an upfront payment to an external party. The payment may be described as a:

release fee;
tax;
clearance fee or commission; or
payment required before the funds can be withdrawn.

After one payment is made, further payment requests may follow.

The website used in these attempts may have a domain name that closely resembles Evest’s official address. It may differ by only one letter or contain an additional word before or after the Evest name, including terms related to “recovery”.

We are deliberately not publishing links to known impersonation websites and recommend that you do not visit them.

Important Facts About Evest

Evest impersonation

Evest Does Not Send Login Credentials to Customers

Evest does not send customers ready-made usernames or passwords.

Your login credentials are created by you when you register through the official platform.

Password recovery is carried out through the Forgot Password function on the official platform, and the reset link is sent to the email address registered to the account.

Evest does not send login credentials through:

messaging applications;
text messages; or
phone calls.

Simple rule: if you did not create the password, do not treat the account as your Evest account.

Evest Does Not Operate a “Recovery” Department

Evest does not have a department, service, website, account, or separate platform called “Recovery” or “Fund Recovery”.

There is:

no recovery department within Evest;
no separate Evest recovery website or subdomain;
no official messaging account operating under that name; and
no third party contracted by Evest to recover customer funds.

Any person or platform combining the Evest name with a supposed recovery service should not be treated as an official Evest channel.

Withdrawals are handled through the customer’s account on the official platform.

Evest Does Not Request Upfront Payments to Release Funds

Evest does not ask customers to transfer money to an external party before funds can be released or a withdrawal completed.

There are no Evest “release fees”, “clearance fees”, or supposed taxes that must be transferred to an unrelated external party before receiving your funds.

Official payments are processed through Evest’s approved channels within the platform and are not transferred to personal bank accounts or individual digital wallets.

If someone claiming to represent Evest asks you to send an upfront payment to an external party before you can receive your funds, do not pay.

How to Recognise an Evest Impersonation Attempt?

The warning signs generally appear in two places:

the way you are contacted; and
the website or platform you are asked to use.

Warning Signs in the Way You Are Contacted

Be cautious if someone:

contacts you claiming that you have returns, balances, or positions that have been “open for years”;
quickly moves the conversation from a phone call to a personal messaging application;
repeatedly passes you between different people, for example: “My colleague handling your file will contact you”;
asks you to perform an action on a supposed position and then requests payment;
pressures you to act quickly;
asks you not to discuss the situation with anyone else; or
relies on a business messaging profile with a generic name as proof of being an official representative.

A business profile or professional-looking account does not, by itself, prove that the person represents Evest.

Warning Signs Inside a Fake Platform

If you have already opened a platform or dashboard sent to you by someone else, check carefully for inconsistencies.

Warning sign	What to look for
Implausible leverage	Evest sets leverage by instrument. A platform showing a single arbitrary or unusually inflated leverage figure may not reflect the official platform.
Incorrect instrument names	Evest offers Contracts for Difference (CFDs). If a supposed Evest platform labels the same instruments incorrectly — for example, as “Futures” — this is a warning sign.
Technical or programming text	Untranslated code, programming strings, or technical placeholders appearing in the interface.
Contradictory figures	The same balance, value, or figure appearing differently on the same screen.
Unrelated terminology	Terms such as “savings rate” or “wealth portfolios” appearing in places where they do not belong within the brokerage interface.
Incorrect market hours	The platform displays market schedules that do not match the operating schedules used by the official platform.

A professional-looking design is not proof that a platform is genuine.

How to Verify That You Are on the Official Evest Platform?

Before entering a username, password, payment information, or identity document, check the website address.

The official Evest website is: evest.com

The official Help Center is: support.evest.com

When checking a website:

Read the domain name letter by letter.
Look for missing or additional letters.
Check whether another word has been added before or after “Evest”.
Do not assume a website is genuine because its design resembles the official platform.
Do not open trading or account links sent through unexpected messages.
Type the official address yourself or use a trusted bookmark you previously saved.
Download Evest applications only through official app stores.

HTTPS Does Not Prove That a Website Is Official

The security padlock in your browser only indicates that the connection to a website uses HTTPS. It does not prove that the website belongs to Evest. Fraudulent and impersonation websites can also use HTTPS certificates. Always verify the domain itself.

Protect Your Identity Documents and Personal Data

These impersonation attempts may involve more than financial loss.

Do not send identity documents to anyone who contacts you outside the official Evest platform.

Identity verification is completed through the official platform.

If identity documents have already been exposed, they may potentially be misused for identity theft or other unauthorized activity. Treat document exposure separately from the payment itself when reporting what happened.

Why You May Have Been Contacted?

Reported attempts have particularly targeted people who previously experienced a loss or stopped trading.

The promise of recovering old funds can make the approach sound relevant and convincing.

The contact information used in these attempts may come from multiple sources that are not connected to Evest.

Being contacted does not prove that the caller has access to your real Evest account.

It is also possible for someone who has already been targeted to receive further attempts, so remain cautious even after blocking the original contact.

Official Evest Channels

Use the following channels when you need to verify suspicious communication:

Channel	Official address
Official website	evest.com
Help Center	support.evest.com
Support email	support@evest.com
Applications	Official app stores only

Do not rely on an account, website, phone number, or messaging profile simply because it uses the Evest name or logo.
