Recovery of Funds Lost to Phishing Scams

In 2024, Mr. L (pseudonym) received an email from a **"globally renowned bank"** warning that his account had security risks and required immediate login verification. The link in the email appeared almost identical to the bank's official website. Without much thought, he entered his account information and transaction password.

Minutes later, he received an SMS notification that $48,000 had been transferred from his account to multiple unknown accounts. He immediately contacted the bank, which stated the funds had already been transferred and couldn't be directly recovered. Realizing he had fallen victim to a phishing scam, Mr. L filed a police report. However, since the scammers were overseas, the investigation progressed slowly. Subsequently, he sought help from the Global Anti-Fraud Alliance.

Our Intervention and Recovery Process

Technical Analysis & Fund Tracing

Our cybersecurity experts analyzed the emails and websites provided by Mr. L, confirming they were highly sophisticated phishing sites. We traced them to multiple fraudulent servers disguised as banking platforms, deployed across several countries.

Using blockchain tracing technology and financial transaction analysis, we tracked Mr. L's funds to four offshore accounts, with portions converted into cryptocurrency.

Law Enforcement Cooperation & Legal Action

We collaborated with Interpol, Europol, and multiple law enforcement agencies worldwide to investigate the operators of these fraudulent accounts.

Through cooperation with overseas banks and cryptocurrency exchanges, we submitted evidence of financial fraud, applying for account freezes to prevent further money laundering.

Our legal team filed lawsuits in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai, pressuring banks and payment processors to initiate chargebacks.

Successful Fund Recovery

After three months of fund tracing and legal proceedings, we successfully froze $29,000 and recovered an additional $13,000 through law enforcement cooperation - totaling $42,000 recovered, representing 87.5% of the total loss.
