Christopher is a Certified Fraud Examiner in Austin and spent eleven years investigating fraud at a national bank. He helps victims of wire, card, Zelle, gift card and crypto scams act fast: bank recall requests, chargeback files, CCS and AGENT reports, and blockchain tracing reports exchanges can act on. Free first review, flat fees quoted in writing, no fee taken as a share of money you hope to get back.
“Our title company email was spoofed and we wired the down payment to a fraudster. Christopher had us on the phone with the bank's fraud desk within the hour. The recall caught $410,200 before it left the receiving account.”
“Zelle impostor scam, someone pretending to be my bank. Ingrid wrote the dispute letter and the bank reimbursed me after the second try. Took six weeks, which was longer than I hoped.”
“Romance scam over five months, all on my credit card. Olivia handled the disputes and the issuer's appeal. $500,200 came back. She was honest from the start that the older charges were out of time.”
“I am in Spain and the exchange was American. Thomas did the tracing remotely, helped me file at CCS from abroad and explained each step in plain language. The case is still open but the funds are frozen.”
“After the scam they opened two credit cards in my name. Priya helped me freeze my credit, file at IdentityTheft.gov and get the accounts closed. I felt less alone.”
“I put most of my retirement into a fake investment platform a man I met online recommended. Leah traced the deposits to three exchanges and worked with my attorney on subpoenas. About $310,000 has been frozen so far. She never let me believe it would all come back.”
“Business email compromise on a property closing. Raymond organized the evidence for the bank and the FBI field office. We recovered $640,000. The rest had moved overseas within hours, and he explained why that part was unlikely.”
“A fake wallet-sync site drained my hardware wallet. Daniel's tracing showed part of it reached a regulated exchange, and that exchange froze $420,000 after our request. The rest went through a bridge and stopped there. Clear report, clear fees.”
“Pig-butchering over nine months. Nicole was direct that most of it was gone and focused on the one exchange that responded. Two hundred and fifty thousand frozen and under court process. Slow, but she kept me updated every two weeks.”
“Yolanda's tracing was careful and she told me early that private wallets are hard to reach. Nothing has come back. I appreciate that she stopped billing once it was clear there was nowhere left to send a request.”
“Fake crypto mining pool. Tanya put together a tracing report a judge accepted and the exchange released $480,000 under the order. She did not promise anything at the first meeting, which is why I trusted her.”
“Our company cards were used for months of fake vendor charges by someone inside. Erin built the dispute files charge by charge. Most were within time and $530,000 was credited back. The older ones were not, as she warned.”
“Our firm's escrow account paid a fake wire instruction. Derek coordinated the bank recall and the law enforcement report. $1.2 million came back within three weeks. Calm, organized and honest about what might not be recoverable.”
“The payment went from my company in Mexico to a US bank account controlled by scammers. Samuel worked in Spanish with me and in English with the bank. $720,000 was returned. He explained cross-border timelines clearly.”
“Hannah's tracing report was the first document that made my case make sense to my bank and my lawyer. Funds frozen at two exchanges total $610,000, now being released under court order.”
“Vanessa told me on day one that a private wallet case could end with nothing, and it nearly did. Her tracing found one exchange deposit and $180,000 was frozen. More than I expected, and she never oversold it.”
“Our production company paid a fake equipment vendor. Jamal had the evidence pack to the bank in a day and the FBI report filed. The receiving bank froze $1.05 million before it could move.”
“Spoofed builder email for our new house. James got the recall moving within two hours of my first call. The receiving bank returned $780,000. I would not have known where to start without him.”
“Derek's work was solid and the report is detailed. The exchange involved stopped responding and nothing has come back yet. He said at the start that this could happen. Still waiting on the legal side.”
“Our nonprofit paid a fake grant administrator. Raymond had the timeline, the bank recall and the FBI report done in a day. We recovered $990,000, which kept our programs running.”
“Fraudulent charges across our business cards after a vendor data breach. Wesley handled the disputes with three issuers. $610,000 was credited. One issuer took four months and he stayed on it the whole time.”
