Yes. We welcome partnership enquiries to help fraud related businesses and services.

We investigate all types of fraud and scams, including but not limited to:

• bank fraud
• carbon credit fraud
• corporate fraud
• credit card fraud
• cybercrime, including online bullying or harassment
• cryptocurrency fraud, including exchanges and funds stolen from digital wallets
• defamation of character
• Forex / CFD / Online trading scams
• forged documents and certificates
• identity theft
• investment and securities fraud
• mail fraud
• pension fraud
• property fraud and scams
• romance fraud and online dating scams
• wire fraud

This depends upon the type of investigation required. For example, to track down an individual who has committed a single instance of fraud is a much quicker process than recovering money lost to cryptocurrency fraud.

More often than not fraud is committed by highly sophisticated criminal networks. Seemingly isolated instances of fraud are frequently linked therefore to much larger and more coordinated scams.

The more complex a fraud is the more complex the resource required to solve it. This directly influences the time it takes to conduct different types and styles of investigation.

Investigations to recover money that has been lost, for example, during an online trading scam may require the input of multiple organisations, such as specialist police units, the National Crime Agency (NCA), Interpol as well as foreign government departments. In such cases, this adds time to an investigation.

Yes. We are fortunate to partner with an intelligence organisation working at the forefront of international cryptocurrency fraud. They have significant technical resources and have the ability to track and trace digital currencies and digital wallets to identify the individuals responsible.

Once the individual(s) have been located, legal proceedings can be initiated to freeze their assets and to recover the money. This includes locating funds in, for example, concealed offshore accounts, business ventures, properties and bank accounts.

Ordinarily yes, but this is not always the case. Until we understand your circumstances we can’t advise you upon the best steps to take to resolve your position. We assess all enquiries upon their own merit.

Once we’ve evaluated your circumstances we submit a detailed cost proposal to you. This includes the strategy required to resolve your position based upon our initial investigation, that we conduct at no cost. Our initial investigation ensures that we’ve fully understood the nature and complexity of what’s involved.

In some cases we conduct investigations on a ‘no win, no fee’ agreement. We also occasionally conduct cases on a Pro-Bono basis. Our fee structure is both modest and flexible.

We conduct an initial investigation (at no cost) to understand the nature and complexity of fraud involved. This ensures that our recovery strategy, which we send to you, is accurate and takes into account the processes required to recover your money. This initial investigation enables us to gauge the likelihood of you being able to recover your money. We will discuss all options with you in detail.

Yes. If a group of people have been subjected to the same fraud, it makes sense to act as a group rather than opening individual cases. This is referred to as a ‘Class Action’. Any costs incurred to undertake an investigation are split equally amongst the group, therefore making a Class Action a highly efficient and cost effective choice.

We sign an agreement with a lead individual (or individuals) who have a legal responsibility to communicate case progress updates to the ‘Group’, as we provide them. Lead individuals act for and on behalf of the entire group.

The total amount recovered is distributed according to each individuals initial financial exposure to the fraud committed.
