If you have dealt with 12DEF

Do not send any further funds, including "fees", "taxes" or "unlocking deposits" requested to release a withdrawal — that request is the usual second stage of the same scheme. Keep every record: screenshots, transaction hashes, bank transfers, chat logs. Report the case to Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa (CONSOB) and to your local police; if you paid by card or bank transfer, ask your bank about a chargeback or recall immediately.

Operations like this one often resurface under a new name and domain within weeks. If you meet a similar site, check its domain against the register before trusting it, and compare with the authorised providers — a genuine licence is always verifiable by legal name and LEI.
