Red Flags You Were Targeted by Fraud

Guaranteed Returns

Any platform promising fixed, guaranteed returns on investments — especially above 10% monthly — is almost certainly fraudulent. Legitimate investments carry risk.

Withdrawal Problems

You requested a withdrawal but were asked to pay taxes, fees, or "release charges" first. Legitimate platforms never require payment to release your own funds.

Unverifiable Broker

The broker or platform is not regulated, has no verifiable physical address, and disappears when you search their regulatory registration number.

Pressure to Invest More

You were continually pressured to add more funds, often with urgency tactics like "limited time opportunities" or "your profits will be lost if you don't act now."

Romantic Connection

Someone you met online — on dating apps, social media, or messaging platforms — introduced you to an investment opportunity after building a relationship over weeks.

Platform Went Dark

The trading platform, website, or app you used is no longer accessible, the company's phone numbers are disconnected, and your contacts have gone silent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the process typically take? +
Timelines vary significantly by case type and complexity. Wire transfer cases can sometimes be resolved in 2–4 weeks if acted upon quickly. Crypto fraud cases typically take 6–16 weeks. Cases involving regulatory enforcement or litigation may take longer. We provide a realistic timeline 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 and varies based on the complexity of the case, the jurisdiction involved and the amount in question.
What types of fraud cases do you review? +
We specialise in: crypto and investment fraud, pig butchering (sha zhu pan) scams, romance fraud leading to financial loss, binary options and unregulated forex brokers, fraudulent wire transfers, and NFT/DeFi fraud. If your case falls into another category, please still reach out — we evaluate all cases individually.
How do I know if my case is worth pursuing? +
Key factors include: the amount of time that has passed since the fraud occurred (sooner is better), whether you have transaction records or communication with the fraudsters, the type of fraud and payment method used, and the jurisdictions involved. Our free case assessment will give you an honest evaluation of your prospects.
Is my information kept confidential? +
Absolutely. All client information is handled under strict legal confidentiality. As a Hong Kong-registered legal advisory, we are bound by professional confidentiality obligations. Your case details are never shared with third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law enforcement or court orders in connection with your case.
What should I do immediately after discovering I've been scammed? +
Act immediately: (1) Stop all further payments to the fraudulent platform or individual. (2) Document everything — save all communications, transaction records, and screenshots. (3) Do not contact the scammers again, as this can complicate recovery. (4) Report to your local police and financial regulator. (5) Contact us right away — acting quickly can help.
