OUR APPROACH

How We Help

Opportunity Analysis

Detailed investigation of the investment structure, promises made, and actual fund usage to establish fraudulent nature and document losses.

Fund Flow Mapping

Trace investor funds through multiple accounts and jurisdictions to identify where money went, who benefited, and what assets remain recoverable.

Operator Identification

Identify the individuals and entities behind the fraud — including beneficial owners, introducers, advisers, and facilitators often hiding behind corporate layers.

Asset Recovery

Locate and freeze remaining assets, support administrator or liquidator appointments, and coordinate multi-victim recovery efforts.

Law Enforcement Support

We prepare clear case files and coordinate with specialist international agencies to help locate, restrain, and freeze assets.

Global Reach

We represent individuals and coordinate groups of victims internationally, pursuing cross-border investigations and recovery action against fraud operators and associated facilitators.

Understanding investment fraud

It looks legitimate.
It’s often engineered deception.

Investment fraud typically involves deception, misrepresentation, or concealed conflicts of interest to induce capital commitment. Tactics range from fake documentation and spoofed platforms to pressure selling and fabricated performance. When concerns arise, speed matters: evidence, funds, and counterparties can disappear quickly.

Misrepresentation + urgency High-pressure timelines, “guaranteed” outcomes, and selective disclosures are used to override due diligence.

Funds are layered and dispersed Payments are rapidly routed through accounts, intermediaries, and exchanges to obstruct tracing and attribution.

Recovery windows close quickly Withdrawal blocks, invented “fees”, or compliance pretexts often appear once victims attempt to exit or challenge the narrative.

VERIFICATION

Reduce exposure. Verify before you commit.

Fraud thrives in ambiguity: forged documents, opaque counterparties, and manufactured credibility. These services are designed to establish authenticity, control, and financial provenance — and to provide clear, evidence-based risk conclusions.

Bank Instrument Verification

Authenticate instruments. Expose risk. Support recovery.

A significant proportion of instruments presented in high-value transactions are forged, altered, or linked to broader criminality. IYE Global applies forensic and investigative methods to identify fraud indicators within instruments, supporting both prevention and enforcement-led recovery.

Phase 1: Instrument verification Validate POF, BG, SBLC, MTN, bank statements, and supporting documents — confirming authenticity and identifying indicators of fraud or criminal intent.

Phase 2: Beneficial ownership verification Where genuine, global due diligence identifies UBOs, true control, and third‑party exposure — including links to criminal, fraudulent, or suspicious activity.

Phase 3: Source of funds / source of wealth Confirm financial provenance through transactional analysis across traditional banking rails and digital currencies, establishing legitimacy and identifying laundering patterns.

Pre‑Investment Verification

Know who you’re dealing with — and what you’re really buying.

Before capital is committed, we assess whether an opportunity is legitimate, carries material risk, or constitutes a fraudulent scheme. Clients receive clear, decision-grade findings supported by evidence and traceable sources.

Counterparty & identity verification Verify individuals, corporate entities, licensing claims, affiliations, and reputational indicators — including connected persons and intermediaries.

Document & contract validation Review term sheets, certificates, agreements, and supporting documentation to identify inconsistencies, forgery risks, and disclosure gaps.

Financial flows & feasibility Assess stated use of funds, payment pathways, and economic plausibility — extending where necessary to advisers, banks, and associated parties.
