Case Reviews Across the Most Common Types of Fraud

01

Crypto Investment Fraud

We review cases involving fake exchanges, cloned trading apps and crypto wallet theft, and explain how on-chain movements can be documented and reported to the relevant platforms.

02

Pig Butchering Scams

Case reviews for sha zhu pan situations, where a victim is befriended over weeks or months before being guided into depositing funds on a fraudulent investment platform.

03

Romance & Social Engineering

Guidance for relationship-based fraud that develops through dating apps or social media. We explain how the matter can be reported to banks, platforms and the authorities.

04

Fake Brokers & Forex

Unregulated brokers and copycat trading sites are a core focus. We explain how chargeback requests and complaints to financial regulators generally work in these cases.

05

Bank Transfer & Wire Cases

Guidance on time-sensitive bank transfer recalls and SWIFT procedures, and on reporting quickly to your bank, which can make a meaningful difference in these situations.

06

NFT & DeFi Fraud

Case reviews for rug pulls, fake token launches and DeFi protocol exploits, combining on-chain tracing with practical guidance on the options that may apply to you.

How Your Case Review Works

02

Review & Documentation

We help you organise records and trace how the funds moved and which entities were involved, building a clear picture across the jurisdictions that matter to your case.

03

Reporting & Referrals

Where it makes sense, we explain how a case can be reported to banks, financial regulators, law enforcement and, if needed, legal counsel in the relevant jurisdictions.

04

Updates at Every Stage

We keep you informed as things progress. Outcomes depend on the circumstances of each case, and any fees are explained and agreed with you in advance.

How to Spot a Fake Recovery Company

Upfront Fees Demanded

Reputable firms work on a success-fee basis. Any company insisting on large payments before it has done anything is a serious warning sign.

Guaranteed Recovery

No honest firm can promise it will get your money back. Guarantees of recovery are a classic tactic used by fraudulent operators.

High-Pressure Tactics

Scam operators manufacture urgency so you act before checking them out. Genuine advisers give you time to make an informed decision.

No Verifiable Details

Fraudulent firms rarely have a real address, a registration number or team members you can actually trace or verify independently.

Crypto or Wire Payments Only

Being asked to pay only in cryptocurrency or by untraceable wire transfer is a strong indicator you are dealing with a scam.

No Written Agreement

Any company unwilling to put its terms in a formal written agreement has something to hide. Always insist on clear documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a case review take? +
An initial review typically begins within 48 hours of your submission. How long the wider case takes depends heavily on the type of fraud, the payment methods used and the jurisdictions involved. We give you a realistic sense of timelines during your first conversation.
What does it cost? +
The initial case review is free and carries no obligation. If we go on to work together, any fee is explained and agreed with you in advance and depends on the complexity of the case, the jurisdictions involved and the amount in question. We do not ask for large upfront payments.
What types of cases do you review? +
We focus on crypto and investment fraud, pig butchering (sha zhu pan) scams, romance fraud that led to financial loss, fake brokers and unregulated forex, fraudulent bank transfers, and NFT or DeFi fraud. If your situation falls outside these, you are still welcome to get in touch — we look at each case individually.
Can you guarantee I'll get my money back? +
No. We do not guarantee any outcome or recovery of funds, and we are cautious of any firm that does. What we can do is review your case honestly, explain the options that may be available and help you understand the realistic prospects given your specific circumstances.
Is my information kept confidential? +
Yes. Your information is handled with strict confidentiality. As a Hong Kong-registered advisory firm, we treat your case details as private. We do not sell your data, and we only share information where you have agreed or where it is required by law in connection with your case.
What should I do right after realising I was scammed? +
A few steps can help: stop sending any further payments; save all messages, receipts and screenshots; avoid further contact with the people involved; report the matter to your bank and local authorities; and reach out for a case review. Acting quickly often keeps more options open.
