Why standard banks and lawyers struggle to recover your funds

Recovering money after an online scam is a technical problem before it is a legal one. Here's where the usual routes hit a wall.

The "black box" problem

Most banks see a transaction, not a scam. When money moves via Wise, Revolut or crypto, they often call it "final settlement" — because they lack the tools to trace the beneficiary beyond the first hop.

The "anonymous" lie

Scammers hide behind shell companies, throwaway domains and temporary emails. A standard lawyer can't tie a WhatsApp number or a crypto wallet to a real person in Germany, Austria or beyond.

The proof gap

Banks and courts need evidence, not your word. The questions that actually move a case are technical:

  • Who really owns the domain?
  • Where is the server located?
  • Who is the real beneficiary of the crypto wallet?
  • Is the "broker" a real person or a call centre abroad?

How we investigate online scams using technology

A multi-layered, digital-forensics approach — every finding sourced, timestamped and documented for your dossier.

1

Digital footprint analysis — who are they?

We establish who is really behind the platform or profile.

  • Domain age & registration: was the platform created before your complaint, or days ago? Scam sites are often under six months old.
  • WHOIS data: we trace the registrant's name, address and email, cross-referencing to see past privacy-shield redaction where possible.
  • Social-media forensics: we examine the "broker's" LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram — do the photos, history and numbers hold up, or point to a fake?
2

Financial traceability — where is the money?

We follow the funds across the rails they moved over.

  • Crypto blockchain analysis: we trace Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT from your wallet onward, identifying the exchanges and high-risk jurisdictions the funds reach.
  • Bank transfer mapping: we analyse SWIFT/IBAN details — is the receiving bank in a known fraud hub, and does the account name match the platform?
  • Payment-gateway tracing: for Wise, Revolut and PayPal, we work to identify the underlying account and the beneficiary's country.
3

Evidence compilation — the dossier

We turn the findings into a single, professional case file.

  • Expert report: all findings compiled into one clear PDF dossier.
  • Court-ready format: structured for submission to banks, courts and prosecutors.
  • Visual money-flow maps: wallet → exchange → bank account, at a glance.

Scams we specialise in

Named platforms below are the legitimate exchanges, marketplaces and apps that funds move through or contact begins on — the fraud is the fake or cloned operation exploiting them.

A. Crypto investment scams

Where funds move
Major exchanges (e.g. Binance, Kraken, Bitpanda) plus dozens of fake "crypto broker" clone sites.
Our tech
We trace wallet addresses, identify the exchange where KYC is held, and check whether the "broker" is a real registered entity.
Outcome
Evidence of whether a platform is legitimate or a "pig-butchering" scam.

B. Forex & CFD trading scams

Typical setup
Unregulated brokers and fake trading platforms (MT4/MT5 clones).
Our tech
We verify licences with the FCA, CySEC or BaFin and review trading history for signs of manipulation.
Outcome
Evidence of whether losses came from market risk or fraud.

C. E-commerce & fake shops

Where it happens
Marketplace disputes (Amazon, eBay, Etsy) and standalone fake stores.
Our tech
We trace the seller's address and phone, flag return-policy violations, and identify "mailbox" addresses.
Outcome
Proof of fraud for chargebacks or small-claims court.

D. Romance & messaging scams

Where contact begins
WhatsApp, Tinder, Bumble and similar apps.
Our tech
Reverse image search on profile photos, phone-number tracing, and detection of call-centre patterns.
Outcome
Evidence that the person is not who they claim to be.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about online-scam investigations.

Can you trace a Bitcoin wallet to a person?

Bitcoin is pseudonymous, so we trace a wallet's transactions to the exchange or service where the funds land — points that hold KYC records. We document that trail so law enforcement or a court can compel the identity. We do not hack accounts or obtain private data unlawfully.

Is your report admissible in court?

We prepare each dossier to evidentiary standards — timestamps, methodology and verifiable sources — so it's ready for submission to banks, prosecutors and courts. Whether evidence is ultimately admitted is always a decision for the court or authority handling your case.

How long does an investigation take?

A simple bank trace is typically 24–48 hours, a crypto trace 3–7 days, and a complex multi-layered scam 1–2 weeks, depending on the hops and jurisdictions involved.

Do you guarantee my money back?

No. No investigator can guarantee recovery — it depends on whether the funds still exist and are reachable. What we provide is strong, well-documented evidence that improves your chances of a successful chargeback, complaint or legal action.
