By Retrieve Lost Token | 12 Jul, 2026

Dufourbit (dufourbit.com), also identified as Dufourbit Pty Ltd., has been publicly flagged by the Netherlands’ financial regulator as a suspected boiler room operation—a form of online investment fraud.

On 7 July 2026, the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) issued an official warning telling consumers not to respond to investment offers from Dufourbit.

The regulator’s findings are direct. According to the AFM, the company is suspected of being a boiler room: a form of online investment fraud.

Dufourbit Pty Ltd. has also been published through the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) International Securities & Commodities Alerts Network (I-SCAN), giving investors outside the Netherlands access to the regulatory warning.

These are the contact details published in the official AFM warning. Investors should be aware that the presence of a London address, telephone number, company-style name or professional website does not by itself establish that an investment operation is legitimate or properly authorised.

This Is More Than an Unlicensed Firm Warning

There is an important difference between this alert and many of the regulatory warnings issued against online investment platforms.

Some regulators warn that a firm does not have the authorisation required to provide financial services.

In the case of Dufourbit, the AFM goes further.

The regulator specifically tells consumers not to respond to offers from Dufourbit and identifies the company as a suspected boiler room.

That distinction matters for people who have already deposited money or are currently being pressured to increase their investment.

What Is a Boiler Room Investment Scam?

A boiler room is typically an operation that approaches potential investors with investment opportunities and uses aggressive, misleading, or deceptive sales techniques to persuade them to transfer money.

The initial approach may come through:

Unexpected telephone calls.
Social media advertisements.
WhatsApp or Telegram messages.
Emails promoting investment opportunities.
Online advertisements promising access to profitable investments.

Representatives may present themselves as brokers, financial advisers, account managers or investment specialists.

Once contact is established, victims may be encouraged to make an initial deposit. A trading dashboard or online account may then display apparent profits designed to create confidence and encourage larger investments.

Problems often become apparent when an investor attempts to withdraw money.

Already Invested With Dufourbit?

Many investors do not discover a regulatory warning until after money has already been transferred.

If you have deposited funds with Dufourbit, carefully review the official AFM warning before responding to any request for additional money.

Be particularly cautious if you are told that another payment is required for:

Taxes before a withdrawal can be processed.
Account verification.
Withdrawal charges.
Insurance fees.
Compliance payments.
Liquidity requirements.
Investment account upgrades.
Release of supposed trading profits.

Sending additional money in an attempt to recover funds already deposited can lead to further financial losses.

Preserve Every Transaction and Communication

If you believe you have lost money through Dufourbit, preserve all available evidence connected to your investment.

Important records may include:

Bank transfer receipts.
Debit or credit card payment confirmations.
Cryptocurrency wallet addresses.
Blockchain transaction hashes.
Emails from Dufourbit representatives.
WhatsApp and Telegram conversations.
Telephone numbers used to contact you.
Account screenshots.
Displayed balances and supposed profits.
Withdrawal requests.
Requests for additional payments.

Do not delete communications simply because they appear unimportant. Contact details, wallet addresses, payment instructions and messages may help establish a clearer timeline of events and transactions.
