Investment & Crypto Fraud
Fake trading platforms, long-con relationship investment schemes, rug pulls, and the bogus recovery services that target victims a second time.
This is probably you if
- A trading platform shows a balance you cannot withdraw.
- You were asked to pay tax, fees, or verification costs to release your own funds.
- A relationship built over weeks or months led to an investment introduction.
- A recovery agent contacted you after you were already defrauded.

Twenty minutes with a lawyer. No obligation, and no charge if we conclude there is nothing worth pursuing.
Start hereWhat the work involves
01
Platform and entity investigation
We establish whether the platform exists as a regulated entity anywhere, who registered and hosts it, and which corporate structures and payment rails sit behind it.
02
On-chain analysis
We trace transfers through wallets and mixers to the exit points — typically exchanges — where a real identity and a real legal target exist.
03
Exchange and custodian engagement
We put exchanges and custodians on notice, and pursue the disclosure and freezing orders needed to act before funds are withdrawn.
04
Second-fraud protection
A large share of victims are targeted again by fake recovery firms. We will tell you plainly when an approach you have received is a follow-on scam.
Being straight with you
If funds have already been cashed out through a non-cooperative jurisdiction, recovery may not be realistically achievable. We say so early rather than billing through it.
