Overview
What this involves
Investment fraud covers a wide range of schemes that promise returns that are too good to be true - guaranteed profits, fixed monthly income, exclusive property deals, "green" or tech opportunities, or high-yield programs. Behind the professional brochure is often a Ponzi structure paying early investors with new victims' money.
These operations frequently last months before collapsing, and by then the operators have moved funds through a web of accounts, companies and sometimes cryptocurrency.
Our investigators map the whole structure - who is behind it, where the money went, and what assets remain - so that realistic recovery routes can be pursued. This might include bank disputes, charging orders, civil claims, and coordination with regulators and law enforcement.
Because victims are often pursued repeatedly by the same or connected operations ("recovery rooms"), we also help you avoid secondary scams while your case progresses.

FAQ
Common questions
What counts as investment fraud?
Any scheme that takes your money through deception - fabricated returns, non-existent assets, unauthorised offerings, or Ponzi structures where payouts depend on new investors.
Can I recover money from a collapsed scheme?
It depends on whether funds or assets can be located and who received them. Even after a collapse, tracing and legal action can sometimes recover part of the loss.
Someone offers to recover my money for an upfront fee. Should I trust them?
Be cautious. "Recovery rooms" that cold-call past victims and demand upfront fees are themselves a common second scam. Legitimate help starts with a proper assessment, not pressure.
Do you work with regulators?
Where appropriate we prepare complaints and coordinate with financial regulators and law enforcement to strengthen cases and protect others.
How much does it cost to start?
Your first case assessment is free, and we only proceed with paid work on a clear, written quote agreed in advance.
