Scams involving WhatsApp
WhatsApp is where most investment and "pig butchering" scams move once contact is made.
Trace the funds
We follow money moved through WhatsApp - linking accounts, devices and destination wallets or banks to build an evidence chain.
Engage the platform
We raise formal complaints and, where appropriate, disclosure requests with the platform and its regulators to freeze suspect accounts.
Recover your money
Where viable, we pursue chargebacks, civil recovery and settlement to return funds to you. Fees depend on your case and are agreed in writing before we begin.

Scams involving WhatsApp - common questions
Can I get my money back from a WhatsApp scam?
In many cases, yes - and the sooner you act, the more options remain. We trace where funds moved through WhatsApp, request freezes and chargebacks with the banks and platforms involved, and pursue civil recovery where viable. Every WhatsApp case is different, so we give you a free assessment and agree any fees in writing before we begin.
Is WhatsApp a scam?
WhatsApp is a legitimate messaging, but fraudsters impersonate and abuse it - most often through investment-group "pig butchering". These scams happen on or around WhatsApp rather than by WhatsApp itself, which is why reporting and recovery focus on the parties who misused it.
How do I report WhatsApp fraud?
Stop all transfers on your WhatsApp account, change your password, and export every transaction, chat and email as evidence. Then report it: we help you raise the complaint with WhatsApp and its regulator, file with the fraud authorities in your country, and open a recovery case with us.
How long does WhatsApp fund recovery take?
It depends on how the money was moved and how quickly it can be traced and frozen. Blockchain tracing can surface leads within days, while bank chargebacks and civil recovery take longer. We set out a realistic timeline for your specific WhatsApp case during the free assessment.
