1. Company Overview
ScamShield360 is a UK-based fund recovery service dedicated to helping individuals and businesses reclaim money lost to scams and fraudulent schemes. Our operations combine forensic investigation, legal coordination, and ethical hacking (under secured court orders) to trace and recover funds. We serve a broad range of cases, including online scams, investment fraud, and cryptocurrency-related scams, while adhering to UK laws and best practices.
2. Client Onboarding and Initial Assessment
2.1 Initial Contact
- Inquiry Submission: Clients reach out via our Website (ScamShield360.org) or by phone/email (scamshield360@gmail.com).
- Free Consultation: A preliminary consultation is provided at no cost, during which the client explains their situation and submits relevant documentation (transaction records, communications, invoices, and identification).
2.2 Case Evaluation
- Data Collection: We gather all pertinent evidence, including digital communications, bank statements, and any additional details related to the scam.
- Preliminary Assessment: Our team reviews the materials to determine the feasibility of fund recovery. Factors considered include:
- The nature and complexity of the scam
- The available digital and financial trails
- Jurisdictional considerations, particularly for cryptocurrency and cross-border scams
3. Investigation and Forensic Analysis
3.1 Digital and Financial Forensics
- Forensic Investigation: Our in-house experts employ advanced forensic techniques to trace the flow of funds. This includes digital tracking, transaction analysis, and liaising with financial institutions.
- Evidence Compilation: All collected evidence is systematically organized and secured, ensuring that it can be presented to legal partners or law enforcement if needed.
3.2 Legal Coordination
- Collaboration with Legal Partners: We work with experienced solicitors and legal advisors specializing in fraud and recovery. If necessary, our legal partners initiate negotiations with banks or financial institutions to reverse transactions.
- Court Orders: In cases where scammers are still in possession of funds (especially in crypto scams), we secure court orders authorizing further recovery actions.
4. Recovery Execution
4.1 Traditional Recovery Methods
- Chargeback Processes: When applicable, we guide clients through initiating chargebacks with payment providers or banks.
- Negotiation: Our legal team negotiates directly with institutions holding the funds, leveraging evidence to reclaim money on behalf of the client.
4.2 Ethical Hacking Operations
- Specialized Recovery via Ethical Hackers:
- Team Deployment: In scenarios where traditional recovery methods are insufficient—particularly with cryptocurrency scams—we deploy our dedicated team of ethical hackers.
- Secured Court Orders: Prior to any hacking activity, we obtain the necessary court orders to ensure full legal compliance.
- Rapid Recovery: With these measures in place, our ethical hacking operations can potentially yield results in as little as 48 hours. However, the timeline may extend to several months depending on the complexity of the case and jurisdictional factors.
5. Case Management and Client Communication
5.1 Dedicated Case Manager
- Single Point of Contact: Each client is assigned a dedicated case manager who oversees the entire process, ensuring personalized communication and timely updates.
- Regular Reporting: Clients receive regular progress updates, detailing every step—from investigation outcomes to negotiations and, ultimately, the recovery process.
