Sounds like a company that's sold by the boiler room thieves.
Were you cold called, if you invested did you send the money to a company that wasn't the same name as the 'broker' that cold called you, did you send money to a bank in a foreign country, was the 'salesman charming' was he 'on your side'.
Did you check when the 'broker's' domain name was first registered, if less than 1 year then 99% scam.
