Investigations into investment fraud are conducted when investors believe their funds are vulnerable in fraudulent or illegal offerings, and for the individuals who were scammed out of their money.

The private-investigating arm of CR Recovery (CRR), known as FRA Intelligence, handles cases for private investors, along with corporations, law firms, and federal regulators. Investigation of all forms of investment fraud starts with a Certified Fraud Examiner.

The sale of stocks or investment contracts based on false or misleading information is a practice that is prohibited under securities laws and international monetary regulations. With low risk, most investment frauds promise high returns. Their sales pitches may arrive without your knowledge, via email or telephone, from companies or brokers you have never heard of. Once the ‘opportunity’ has vanished, there is no time to do proper due diligence before putting capital at risk.

This type of crime can frequently lead to large financial losses. Once we are contacted by a client, investigations are conducted to identify and hold accountable those who have misappropriated the client’s funds, as well as provide clear reporting to support settlement demands, lawsuits, and criminal prosecution. Tracing and locating assets is a part of the investigation process as well.
