What is a fraud allegation?
A claim that someone was deceived into handing over money or property.
Intention is central, so the defence often turns on what you knew and meant.
What do we do?
We study the transactions, the communications and the complainant's account, and challenge gaps in proof of deception and intent.
We also check whether the matter is in truth a civil dispute.
What should you avoid?
Do not delete messages or alter records.
That can turn a defensible matter into an indefensible one.
What should I do first?
Gather all transaction records
Bank and wallet statements.
Keep communications
Messages, emails and calls.
Write a timeline
From first contact to the dispute.
Do not approach the complainant
Let us handle it.

Frequently asked questions
Is a failed business deal a fraud?
Not by itself. A criminal fraud needs deception and intent. We examine whether that is shown.
Can fraud be settled?
Possibly, depending on the stage. We advise before you pay anything.
