419 Fraud / Advance Fee Fraud is a common crime with a myriad of schemes and scams initiated through email, fax and telephone. Almost everyone reading this will have received an email like this - the majority end up where they deserve to be, in your email junk folder. Periodically, the nature of the emails changes, with different stories and there is no shame in being fooled by them. Every year, people are fooled, sometimes for hundreds and sometimes for thousands of pounds/euros- if you are a victim, we can help
|
 |
We won't shock you with some of the stories of what happened to people fooled by these approaches - there are plenty of resources on the internet to do that. Aside from being defrauded of large sums of money, victims have been kidnapped, physically assaulted and worse. What we can do is to try and help you - as we recently achieved for a client in Europe whose father had been defrauded. Not only did we recover a loss of €10,000, we were able to get one of the fraudsters arrested as he waited for his victim to arrive at a London airport |
 |
We have also helped many people involved in Boileroom scams - share scams where the operator will sell worthless shares at inflated prices to investors that are impossible to sell. Fake stockbrokers cold call their victims, proposing they buy shares in a company that has been ramped, or selling shares in thin air before taking the money and running. Experienced investors have been caught out as well as novices. Again, we have managed to recover at least partial funds for a number of clients, tracing the perpetrators and bringing them to task |
 |
What you should do next is talk to us. Don't worry about feeling foolish - scamsters rely on their victims feeling personally humiliated at what they see as naiveté; we will not judge you and will listen to your story with empathy. Take a look at what happened to one scamster who tried to defraud our client .Please call us on 0800 980 4267 |
