Some of the frauds we investigated

About us

Born from pain. Built for payback.

Your loss. Our fight. We take it personal.

Lost Funds Recovery is a professional fraud investigation firm, operating since 2018.

It began as the private investigation of our CEO — a former cybercrime investigator with the London police — after his own mother fell victim to an online trading scam and was ignored by the entire system. Banks, police departments and regulators all failed to take responsibility, purposely drowning her in bureaucracy and long, faulty processes that led nowhere, until she had no choice but to give up.

But he couldn't let them get away with it. Together with his private investigator, he built a case that couldn't be ignored — and recovered more than half of her lost funds.

Today, Lost Funds has already helped thousands of scam victims worldwide recover over $359 million in lost funds — and, more importantly, their confidence and trust in people.

Together with our professional team — top investigators, cybersecurity specialists, blockchain analysts and legal experts — we have mastered the process of lost-funds recovery, providing guidance to individuals and businesses pursuing money lost to scammers.

We believe in openly displaying our results, and our core values are trust and integrity. No matter how tough your case is, you are not alone — we are here for you!

⚠ Be aware

Act before the trail gets colder.

Scam evidence loses strength when records disappear, platforms close, or payment providers archive support tickets. A structured complaint gives institutions something they can actually review.

We help you organise the facts, identify relevant payment endpoints, and prepare the documentation needed for banks, exchanges, regulators, law enforcement, or counsel.

If you were scammed, do not wait for the platform to disappear. File a complaint before it's too late.

You are not alone — we are here for you.

More about Lost Funds and our fraud investigation services

About Lost Funds

Lost Funds is an independent fraud investigation firm helping victims of online scams understand what happened to their money and what can realistically be done about it. We organise evidence, trace asset movement, and prepare institution-ready reports and action plans — so banks, exchanges, payment processors and law enforcement have what they need to act.

How do our investigation reports help recover losses?

Recovering losses often doesn't require a lawyer or the courts — it requires the right evidence, put in front of the right institution, in the right way. Our investigation report gathers and structures your evidence, traces where the funds moved, and sets out a step-by-step action plan for chargebacks, exchange notices, bank disputes and regulatory complaints.

Do all cases end with a successful outcome?

Unfortunately, no — and we'll always be honest about that. Some scams involve untraceable cash, trails that end outside any regulated institution's reach, or too much time having passed. That's why it's important to act fast — and exactly why we start with a free case review: to tell you honestly whether your case qualifies for recovery.

How do I know if I have a chance of recovering my money?

That's what the free consultation is for. Tell us what happened, how you paid, and when — and we'll give you an honest assessment of whether the facts support a practical recovery route. If they don't, we'll say so plainly.
