Fraud investigations recovering money from scams

Who can you recover money from?

Our highly experienced team conduct pre-investigation research to identify who you can recover money from.

Analysis takes into account how money was transferred to the scam, including through which bank, App, broker, website, trading platform or digital currency exchange.

We can present legal challenges against all identified culpable entities who aided the transfer process.

In 95% of fraud cases IYE investigate, money is recovered directly from culpable financial entities, such as banks or intermediary payment providers, without the need to locate the criminals.

Gathering evidence to support scam investigators

The importance of proof

Using ‘police method’ investigation techniques, IYE investigators gather evidence to support your case and to prove criminality to a police prosecution standard.

Proof of criminality is important as it places a culpability issue on any ‘legitimate’ agents who aided the process, for example banks or digital currency exchanges.

Our legal team also assess whether any financial rules, laws or regulations have been breached, which will be used as evidence to support your claim.

How to recover money from banks and financial institutions

Recovering money from financial institutions

Banks have a legal duty to keep client’s funds safe and an obligation to undertake due diligence on any transactions proposed by a client to an acceptable standard. It is an obligation banks consistently fail to perform. This leaves banks open to claims for compensation based on negligence, a position the Financial Ombudsman Service across jurisdictions have consistently supported.

We can hold banks accountable even if your money passed through several different payment providers or cryptocurrency exchanges, before reaching the scam.

Recovering money from banks and financial institutions is always our first point of attack as it offers the quickest means of redress.
