What We Do

Case Reviews Across Every Kind of Dispute

No matter how the loss happened, our specialists examine the facts of your case and set out the practical steps and options that may be open to you.

Fake brokers Binary options Forex schemes Romance-linked fraud Rug pulls Phishing Wallet drains Ponzi schemes

Investment Dispute Reviews

For unregulated platforms and problematic brokers, we examine your case, help you document it properly and outline the options that may be available.

Crypto Dispute Reviews

We explain how on-chain transactions can be traced, documented and reported to exchanges and the relevant authorities where that is possible.

Chargeback & Bank Claims

We talk you through the formal chargeback process for disputing card transactions with your bank or card network, and what evidence it calls for.

Regulatory Complaints

We explain how complaints can be raised with regulators such as the FCA, CySEC, ASIC and other bodies, depending on where the platform operated.

Case Documentation

We help you organise the records relevant to your case — transfers, receipts, communications and the parties involved — into a clear file.

Legal Avenues

Where appropriate, we outline the legal avenues that may exist and how they generally work. WiseLegal is an advisory firm, not a law firm.

How to Spot a Fake Recovery Company

Been burned once already? Many people are targeted a second time by bogus “recovery” firms. Here is how to tell the genuine from the fake.

💳

Upfront Fees Demanded

Credible firms work mainly on a success-fee basis. A company insisting on full payment before any result is a warning sign.

🎯

Guaranteed Recovery

No honest firm can guarantee a recovery. Promises of “100% guaranteed” returns are a classic scam tactic.

⏳

Pressure to Act Now

Fraudulent operators manufacture urgency to stop you carrying out proper checks before you hand over money.

🏕

No Verifiable Identity

Scam firms have no real address, no registration number and no traceable team standing behind the operation.

🪙

Crypto-Only Payment

Requests for payment in crypto or untraceable wire transfers are used almost exclusively by fraudsters.

📝

No Written Agreement

Any firm unwilling to set out the terms in a formal written contract has something it would rather hide.

Recovery Scammers Say…

  • Pay the full fee upfront to begin
  • Your recovery is 100% guaranteed
  • Send the payment in crypto
  • Act right now or lose your chance

WiseLegal Does…

  • Agrees any fees with you in advance
  • Gives an honest view of your chances

FAQ

Questions & Answers

How long does a typical case take?
It varies with the complexity of the fraud and the route involved. Straightforward chargeback matters can resolve in roughly 60–90 days; cross-border enforcement may take 6–18 months. We give you a realistic estimate during your free review.
What does it cost? Are there upfront fees?
The case review is free of charge. If we take on your case, any fees are explained and agreed with you in writing beforehand. A modest initial case-handling fee may apply in some matters, and this is always set out in advance.
Can you review a crypto scam case?
Yes. Blockchain transactions are permanent and traceable, which can help. We explain how funds may be documented and reported to exchanges and the relevant authorities. Every case differs, and any outcome depends on its specific facts.
What types of fraud do you look at?
Investment fraud (fake brokers, Ponzi schemes), crypto scams (rug pulls, fake exchanges, wallet drains), romance-linked investment fraud, binary-options fraud, unauthorised transfers and trading-platform manipulation.
Is recovery always possible?
No — and we will tell you honestly if the chances look slim. How recently the fraud occurred, whether records survive and which payment methods were used all affect what is realistic. The free review gives you a candid picture before you commit to anything.
What information should I provide?
The more documentation the better: deposit confirmations or receipts, account statements, screenshots of the platform, messages with brokers, payment records and any ID documents you submitted to the platform.
Is my personal information kept confidential?
Yes. Everything you submit is handled in strict confidence. We follow GDPR principles, encrypt your data and never share your details with any third party without your express consent.
