How Verradin LLP Helped a Client Recover from a Fake Investment Scam
Scammers continue to refine their methods, targeting individuals through highly convincing investment platforms that appear legitimate. In February 2025, Verradin LLP was contacted by a client who had fallen victim to such a scheme — one that promised quick returns through cryptocurrency trading.
The client had been lured into depositing several thousand dollars after seeing social media ads and interacting with what appeared to be a professional trading website. The platform even provided fabricated dashboards showing “profits,” encouraging larger deposits. But when the client attempted to withdraw their funds, the account was suddenly locked, and customer support stopped responding.
Feeling helpless, the client reached out to Verradin LLP for assistance.
Verradin LLP’s Recovery Process
Our legal and technical team acted swiftly:
1. Transaction Tracing:
We immediately analyzed the payment trail, identifying the financial institution and payment processor used by the scammers.
2. Legal Action & Freeze Orders:
Through collaboration with relevant authorities and by invoking international anti-fraud compliance laws, we secured a temporary freeze on the receiving account.
3. Negotiation with Payment Processor:
Our lawyers engaged directly with the processor to establish the fraudulent nature of the transaction, ensuring funds could not be laundered further.
4. Fund Recovery:
Within weeks, we successfully recovered a substantial portion of the client’s money, which was transferred back to them.
The Client’s Relief
For the victim, this wasn’t just about recovering funds — it was about restoring confidence and peace of mind. They no longer had to carry the emotional burden of financial loss, knowing that justice had been served and that swift action had prevented scammers from profiting further.
