Overview
What this involves
Our case investigation service provides a comprehensive, independent investigation of your fraud claim from start to finish. Whether you're considering legal action, need evidence for law enforcement, or simply want to understand what happened, our certified investigators build a complete picture of the fraud.
Every investigation begins with a detailed case reconstruction. We analyse financial records, communications, contracts, and any digital evidence to establish a clear timeline of events. This timeline forms the foundation for all subsequent legal and recovery actions.
Our investigators combine traditional investigative techniques with modern OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) methods. We identify fraudsters, their associates, and the infrastructure they use to operate. This intelligence is critical for both recovery efforts and law enforcement referrals.
The final deliverable is a professional investigation report prepared to evidentiary standards. This report can be used in civil proceedings, criminal referrals, insurance claims, regulatory complaints, and any other formal proceedings where evidence of fraud is required.

FAQ
Common questions
What evidence do I need to start an investigation?
Any evidence you have is useful - transaction records, emails, screenshots, phone numbers, website URLs, social media profiles. Even minimal information can be a starting point for our investigators.
Will the investigation report be accepted in court?
Yes. Our reports are prepared to evidentiary standards with proper chain of custody documentation. They have been used successfully in courts across the UK, US, and EU.
Can you investigate if I've already lost contact with the fraudster?
Absolutely. We specialise in identifying fraudsters even when they've gone silent. OSINT techniques, database searches, and digital forensics allow us to track people down.
Do you work with police/law enforcement?
Yes. We regularly support Action Fraud reports and work with the NCA, FBI, and other agencies. Our investigation reports strengthen law enforcement cases significantly.
How much does an investigation cost?
Investigations range from £500 to £2,000 depending on complexity. We always provide a fixed quote before starting work. If the investigation leads to recovery, a success fee applies.
