Overview
What this involves
Romance scams build trust over weeks or months through dating apps and social media, before introducing a financial "need" or a fake investment opportunity. The related "pig butchering" variant blends romance with a fraudulent crypto or trading platform to draw out ever-larger payments.
Behind the affectionate profile is often a organised operation, sometimes running multiple victims at once and using money mules or cryptocurrency to move funds out of reach.
We combine payment tracing - across bank transfers and crypto wallets - with investigation of the network behind the scam, including profile and communications analysis. This evidence supports bank disputes, exchange reports and legal action.
Because the experience is emotionally devastating as well as financial, our support-trained team handles every case with discretion and care, with no judgement about what happened.

FAQ
Common questions
I feel ashamed - will you judge me?
Never. Romance scams are sophisticated, psychological operations run by experienced criminals, and they affect people of every background. Our team is trained to support you with complete discretion and without judgement.
Can money sent to a "partner" be recovered?
Sometimes. Bank transfers can be disputed and traced, and crypto sent to an exchange may be frozen through a report to that exchange. Outcomes depend on how and where the money went.
The "partner" also pushed a crypto platform. Is that the scam?
Very likely. The fake investment platform is a common "pig butchering" tactic used to move your money out. We trace both the person and the platform.
Should I cut off contact?
Do not send any more money. Preserve the messages before changing anything - they are important evidence - and speak to us about next steps.
Will you help with the emotional impact too?
Yes. Alongside the investigation we can connect you with counselling and support resources through our victim-support service.
