Leo Invest Review — Is Leo Invest a Scam?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold this account, we cannot close a balance, and we do not phone you as this firm.

Yes. Leo Invest is an investment “services provider” that BaFin says is committing identity fraud against LEO GP GmbH — a 2026 operation, not the old Leo Invest plc The notices are written once, in the block below. If you paid leo-invest.de, the date and how you paid are the part this review cannot see.

The record

What the notices say

  • BaFin warning of 14 Oct 2026: suspicion of unauthorised financial and investment services on leo-invest.de, with identity fraud against LEO GP GmbH.
  • Deutsche Anwaltszeitung (14 Oct 2026, Rechtsanwältin Bontschev) and anwalt.de/anwalt24 articles of 15 Oct 2026 — victim recovery guidance already circulating.
  • Disambiguation: this is the 2026 German identity-fraud case — it has nothing to do with “Leo Invest plc”, the UK/Ireland broker discussed in a 2012 ForexPeaceArmy thread. The histories must not be merged.
Loss or this pattern

A trading loss and this pattern are not the same

A trading loss is a real position that moved against you. You can see the trade. The pattern below is a different event.

  • German investors trusting the platform because a real company's identity is attached
  • the 2026 wave's standard cold-outreach funnel
  • confusion online between the impersonation case and the unrelated 2012 firm of a similar name
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you close my Leo Invest account, or have the person who phoned me call again?

Forensics Source Group is not affiliated to this broker. We do not hold an account at leo-invest.de. We cannot confirm a balance, close an account, or phone you as Leo Invest.

Leo Invest says I must pay a tax or fee before withdrawing — should I?

No. A real broker deducts a fee from the balance. A new payment to release your own money is a second charge. Keep the message that asked for it.

What do you do with what I send?

We place it next to the record above. Where the same payment shows up from other people, those files can sit together as a class action. The first look is free.
