Case Reviews for Every Kind of Financial Fraud

01

Crypto & Investment Fraud

Case reviews for fake exchanges, cloned trading platforms and crypto wallet theft. We explain how on-chain transactions can be documented and raised with the relevant exchanges.

02

Fake Investment Platforms

Many victims are groomed over weeks before funds are moved through convincing but fraudulent investment apps. We review how the scheme operated and what options may apply.

03

Romance & Social Engineering

Guidance for relationship-based fraud where trust was built over months. We explain how a case can be reported to law enforcement and the appropriate authorities.

04

Forex & Binary Options

Unregulated brokers and misleading trading platforms are a core focus. We explain how chargeback requests and complaints to regulatory bodies generally work.

05

Bank Wire & Card Payments

Guidance on time-sensitive bank wire recalls and SWIFT procedures, and how reporting quickly to your bank can matter in these situations.

06

NFT & DeFi Fraud

Case reviews for rug pulls, counterfeit NFT projects and DeFi protocol exploits, pairing on-chain analysis with guidance on the options that may apply.

Red Flags That You May Have Been Targeted

Guaranteed Returns

Any platform promising fixed or guaranteed returns — especially above 10% monthly — is almost always fraudulent. Genuine investments always carry risk.

Blocked Withdrawals

You asked to withdraw but were told to pay taxes, fees or "release charges" first. Legitimate platforms never require a payment to release your own money.

Unverifiable Broker

The broker or platform is not regulated, has no checkable address, and seems to vanish when you search for its registration or licence number.

Pressure to Add Funds

You were pushed to deposit more, often with urgency tactics such as "limited-time windows" or warnings that your profits will be lost if you don't act now.

Introduced Online

Someone you met on a dating app, social network or messaging service introduced you to an "opportunity" after building a bond over several weeks.

Platform Goes Silent

The site, app or trading dashboard is suddenly unreachable, phone numbers are disconnected, and the people who contacted you have gone quiet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the process usually take? +
Timelines vary considerably by case type and complexity. Wire transfer cases can sometimes move within 2–4 weeks when acted on quickly. Crypto fraud cases often take 6–16 weeks. Cases involving regulatory steps or litigation may take longer. We give you a realistic estimate during your initial case assessment.
What are your fees? +
There is no upfront cost for the case review. If we take on your case, any fee is explained and agreed with you in advance. It depends on the complexity of the matter, the jurisdictions involved and the amount in question.
What types of fraud do you review? +
We focus on crypto and investment fraud, fake investment platforms, romance fraud leading to financial loss, binary options and unregulated forex brokers, fraudulent wire transfers, and NFT/DeFi fraud. If your case falls outside these categories, please still reach out — we assess every case individually.
How do I know if my case is worth pursuing? +
Key factors include how much time has passed since the fraud (sooner is better), whether you have transaction records or messages with the fraudsters, the type of fraud and payment method used, and the jurisdictions involved. Our free assessment gives you an honest view of the options.
Is my information kept confidential? +
Yes. All client information is handled with strict professional confidentiality. As a Hong Kong-registered advisory, we are bound by confidentiality obligations. Your details are never shared with third parties without your consent, except where required by law or by a court in connection with your case.
What should I do right after realising I've been scammed? +
Act quickly: (1) Stop all further payments to the platform or individual. (2) Document everything — save messages, transaction records and screenshots. (3) Avoid further contact with the scammers, as it can complicate matters. (4) Report to your local police and financial regulator. (5) Contact us promptly — acting early can help.
