The fixed-fee report
£595Total price
Fixed fees for the defined scope.
- Scope
- One suspected scam involving one claimed person or business, up to three linked profiles or websites, and up to 20 supplied records.
- What you receive
- A written report comparing the claims with lawful public sources, an evidence schedule, and a summary of what is established and what remains unresolved. A follow-up conversation to go through the findings is included.
- Limits
- This is an investigation report. It does not include recovering money, tracing funds through bank accounts or cryptocurrency networks, or making a compensation claim.
We confirm suitability, the sources and date range to be examined, and a delivery date in writing before work starts. If your enquiry needs a wider scope, we explain why and quote separately before you decide. Nothing is added without your agreement.

Do not wait for a private investigation. Official fraud-reporting guidance explains reporting routes. In Scotland, report to Police Scotland on 101. Call 999 in an emergency.
The question this report answers
The investigation examines whether a claimed identity or business can be supported by the available evidence. Examples include a person met online whose background does not fit their account, or an investment website using company details that may belong to somebody else.
We look for corroboration and contradictions. A real company registration does not prove that a website represents that company. A photograph appearing elsewhere may indicate a copied identity; it does not show that the person pictured is responsible for the scam.
What we examine
Within the agreed scope, we compare the supplied profiles, websites, messages, and claims with relevant public records and open-source material. The report records source locations and dates, explains connections, and identifies gaps. Material supplied by you is distinguished from information independently checked.
You receive a written assessment and evidence schedule, with a follow-up conversation to discuss the findings. The result may be a documented inconsistency, a supported connection, or an explanation of why the available records cannot resolve the question.
What this service does not include
We do not access private bank records, identify an account holder through a bank, trace cryptocurrency transactions, or recover money. The fee does not buy a reimbursement claim, negotiations with a bank, investment advice, or a guarantee that an individual will be located. We do not contact the suspected offender as part of this report.
The FCA’s guidance on recovery room scams explains the risk of further approaches promising to recover losses. Our report has a defined investigative scope and makes no recovery promise.
Agreeing the work
Start with a short outline and an email address that is safe for us to reply to. You do not need to send banking details, identity documents, or full message histories with your first enquiry. We agree a suitable channel before you share material.
We assess feasibility, confirm the question and sources, and agree the fixed fee and delivery date in writing. If the proposed work is unlikely to add useful information, we say so. See how we work and our guide on checking whether a company or person is genuine for checks you may be able to make yourself.
Common questions
Can you recover the money I have lost?
No. This product is an investigation report, not a recovery or compensation service. We do not recover funds, negotiate reimbursement, or make claims on your behalf. Contact your bank or payment provider promptly if you have sent money.Will you find the person behind the scam?
We may establish links between public profiles, websites, and other records. Those links do not always identify the person controlling them. Stolen photographs and genuine company details can be used without the real person’s involvement. The report explains those limits.Is the report worth buying if I have already reported the scam?
Only if it can answer a useful question beyond the information you already have. The first conversation is free, and we say if police, your bank, a regulator, or another free route is the appropriate next step. A paid report is not required to report fraud.More general questions about cost, timescales, and evidence are answered on our FAQs page.
