Does anyone have any information on epicinvest 24.

Most pages returned from a quick Google search seem to mention 'scam' prominently, which probably tells its own story.  What has your research found so far?

Never heard of it and don't recall ever seeing it mentioned on this forum.  

Also, a check on the FCA register shows no firm of that name authorised to carry out investment business in the UK.   To offer regulated retail financial services to UK consumers, the firm needs to be regulated by the FCA.   Carrying out that activity without FCA authorisation would be unlawful.

How on earth did you come across such an obscure "investment opportunity"?
If it was from an ad on facebook - ignore it.
If it was from a bloke down the pub - ignore it.
If it was from a brief mention by someone with no prior posting history on an investment forum - ignore it and consider reporting it as spam.

A quick google search leads me to the conclusion that i would not touch it with a barge pole.
Just how did you come across this?

First things first:

• don't be tempted to deposit any more money with them
• don't sign up to any fraud recovery scams with anyone offering to help get your money back
• recognise that your number will now be on a suckers' list and that you'll get more calls
• ignore these calls when they come

Chances are that your money will be gone, unless you paid by card and qualify for a chargeback or s75 claim, on the basis that you didn't receive what you paid for, but this isn't straightforward to prove in cases like this - what's the full story about exactly how you came to be relieved of your money?

Sorry to hear this has happened to you, I hope you didn't lose too much.  You may want to consider changing your phone number as well as you maybe targeted again in the future.

I don't know if you already have an ISA or a pension of some kind, but I would definitively look into those before I went to bitcoin or any other kind of crypto currency / NFT etc.
