An intelligence assessment of a suspected fraud, an investment scam, a romance-linked scheme, or general financial misrepresentation, before or after money has been sent.
Investment fraud, cryptocurrency scams, boiler room operations, romance-linked schemes, and fabricated financial positions are rarely the work of a single opportunist acting alone. These are typically organised operations running multiple identities, shell companies and platforms simultaneously, targeting numerous victims at once. A victim reporting to their bank or Action Fraud in isolation rarely gets the fuller picture of who is actually behind the scheme, what else it is connected to, or whether recovery is realistically possible.
An intelligence brief on a suspected fraud, mapping the individuals, companies and platforms involved, cross-referencing them against known fraud patterns and prior reported schemes, and assessing realistic prospects for reporting or recovery action. Scope covers investment and cryptocurrency scams, romance-linked financial fraud, and general financial misrepresentation, whichever form the deception took.
Identity and corporate structure behind the scheme, platform, or individual
Connections to other reported scams or known fraud networks
Cryptocurrency wallets and payment routes, where funds were sent digitally
For romance-linked fraud, the financial pattern of the deception alongside the relationship itself
An honest assessment of realistic recovery prospects
A report suitable for Action Fraud, your bank's fraud team, or a solicitor
Open-source and dark web research into the platform, individuals and companies involved, cross-referenced against known fraud typologies and prior reported schemes, combined with blockchain analysis where cryptocurrency was used, with every finding verified by a named analyst before it is reported.
No. This brief is instructed both before money is sent, to verify a suspicious opportunity, and after, to understand what happened and support a recovery or reporting effort.
It cannot guarantee recovery, but findings are structured to support your bank's fraud team, a police report, or, where cryptocurrency is involved, our Cryptocurrency Tracing & Recovery Intelligence service.
No. That service verifies whether a relationship and the person in it are authentic, typically before money has changed hands. This brief investigates a fraud where money has been sent or a financial ask made, romance-linked or otherwise, and focuses on who is behind it and what recovery looks like.
Identifying that connection is a core part of this work. It can strengthen a police report and, in some cases, connect you with a wider pattern that increases the chance of a coordinated response.
Yes. We report realistic prospects plainly rather than encouraging further spending on a recovery that the evidence does not support.
Every enquiry is reviewed by an analyst and routed to a scoping call, a fixed fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
