Scope of assessment

One loss. Several possible routes.

The route depends on how you paid, what was represented, when you discovered the problem and where the parties are located.

Assess my case
Card route

Credit and debit card disputes

We assess whether the issue concerns an unauthorised transaction, non-delivery, misrepresentation, cancellation or another merchant dispute. The review focuses on card type, merchant contact, transaction date and written evidence.

  • Merchant complaint and response
  • Card issuer dispute or chargeback documentation
  • Creditor liability where local law applies
  • Escalation after a rejection
Bank route

Bank transfers and impersonation fraud

A bank transfer is not automatically eligible for chargeback. The first priorities may include stopping or recalling the payment, reporting the incident, identifying the receiving account and assessing the bank's response.

  • Transfer instructions and account details
  • Timing of bank notification
  • Police or fraud report reference
  • Complaint and ombudsman options
Investment route

Fake brokers and investment platforms

We review the sales representations, regulatory status, payment chain, withdrawal history, platform terms and stated reasons for refusal. A legal or regulatory route may differ from a card dispute.

  • Platform and domain details
  • Broker messages and call records
  • Deposits, withdrawals and refused requests
  • Regulatory and jurisdiction analysis
Digital-asset route

Cryptocurrency-related losses

Crypto transactions are normally irreversible and cannot be “charged back” in the same way as a card payment. A review may instead focus on preserving transaction data, exchange involvement, reporting and possible tracing or civil routes.

  • Wallet addresses and transaction hashes
  • Exchange account records
  • Fiat on-ramp payment route
  • Exchange involvement and possible jurisdiction
