Frequently asked questions

How does IFW recover assets from foreign countries?

If your assets have been traced to another country, they may be recovered via the appropriate jurisdiction’s Court process or through a private settlement negotiation.

The latter option is more likely after IFW has gained powerful legal leverage against the scammers.

What is the likelihood of successfully recovering assets?

It’s important to understand that a successful result is never guaranteed. That said, the stronger the evidence against the fraudsters, the greater the chances of being able to file a legal case – and Court proceedings may result in a recovery.

Before commencing our fraud recovery services, we will perform a preliminary assessment of your case to flag any commercial or financial risks of the investigation and present you with your realistic likelihood of recovery. Armed with this professional advice, you can then make an informed decision on how you would like to proceed.

How long will my investigation take?

The duration of your investigation lies in its complexity and whether or not legal proceedings are taking place in an effort to recover your assets.

As a general estimate, IFW investigators can usually hunt down the fraudsters within one to three months. Following this turning point, a fraud recovery strategy must be actioned in light of the investigation’s discoveries. This procedure typically involves the preparation of an initial demand letter, which, if ignored, is ensued by legal action and/or the filing of a criminal complaint and liaison with law enforcement agencies.

In such an event, IFW investigators will help law enforcement officials to file search warrants and/or criminal charges against the fraudster, who may be arrested and prosecuted.

What evidence do I need to prove fraud and recover my assets in Court?

The core qualities of fraud are deception and dishonesty. As the victim, you must demonstrate that your decision to part ways with your money was founded on the fraudster’s fake claims.

Our experienced investigators will do our best to handle the rest, working to uncover admissible evidence that satisfies the criminal burden of proof necessary in Courts across the globe.

How much do fraud recovery services cost?

The cost of our fraud recovery services depends on the complexity of your case, the value of assets in question, and the country from which the fraudsters have orchestrated the scam.

Typically, the greater the losses, the more difficult and costly the investigation – especially if your money has been transferred through several financial institutions or money remitting platforms.

IFW’s renowned investigators will provide a personalised proposal for your case, which will include a recommended budget to maximise the probability of a successful result.
