Romance and dating scams

This happens to careful people, and it is handled here without judgement

Relationship led losses are usually the best documented cases we see, because months of messages exist. That documentation is often what makes the matter workable.

Patterns we see repeatedly

  • The relationship moved off the original app quickly, onto a private messaging service.
  • Money was requested for an emergency, a customs charge, a medical bill or a shared investment.
  • You were shown a trading dashboard or wallet balance that only they controlled.
  • A first small withdrawal worked, then larger withdrawals needed a fee.
  • Video calls were refused, brief, or suspiciously reused.
  • Someone new has since contacted you offering to recover the earlier loss.

What to do in the first days

  1. 1

    Stop sending money, including any fee described as the last one.

  2. 2

    Keep everything: chats, photos, profiles, wallet addresses, bank references.

  3. 3

    Do not confront the counterparty or tell them you are seeking help.

  4. 4

    Report to your bank and to the police or national reporting line.

  5. 5

    Bring us what you have, even if it feels incomplete.

How we handle these files

Privacy first

Only the people working your file see it. Nothing is published, and nothing is shared with a third party without your instruction.

Message forensics

Long threads are reconstructed into a dated timeline that ties each transfer to the request that caused it.

Route tracing

Bank, card and crypto routes are followed to the point where a counterparty or platform can be named.

Whether funds can be recovered depends on the facts, the jurisdictions involved, the counterparties and the legal process. We will tell you our honest view early rather than keep a file open that cannot progress.
