PONZI SCHEME INVESTIGATION

We investigate ponzi schemes around the world, uncovering actionable evidence to help victims recover losses.

 

A ponzi scheme is a ruthless investment scam designed to swindle unsuspecting victims. Lured in with the promise of an exceedingly high return, investors are paid with funds collected from subsequent investors instead of proceeds from a genuine investment. With no new investors, the offender behind this crime cannot distribute ‘dividends’ to initial backers and the whole scheme crumbles.

Sound all too familiar? If you suspect that you have been targeted by a ponzi scheme, please contact our expert investigators immediately. We will unearth actionable evidence to help you prosecute the fraudster behind the crime and recover your losses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Explore our comprehensive FAQ section to find answers to a wide range of questions and gain a deeper understanding of how we work.

What is Ponzi scheme

A ponzi scheme is a type of investment scam whereby the fraudster pays ‘dividends’ to initial investors with money taken from subsequent investors. Despite promising every investor exceptionally high returns with low risk, there is no legitimate investment. 

It is only a matter of time before the ponzi scheme collapses. Once the pool of new ‘investors’ inevitably dries up, the scammer will disappear with any remaining proceeds. Meanwhile, ponzi scheme victims will be left to suffer their losses.

Are Ponzi and Pyramid schemes The Same?

Although both types of fraud involve promising victims a high return in exchange for their financial investment, Ponzi and pyramid schemes are not the same. The key difference is the role that unsuspecting victims play in each scheme. 

Whereas victims of a ponzi scheme invest their money into a managed portfolio and wait for a return, victims of a pyramid scheme are propositioned with the opportunity to earn more money by recruiting other investors. Each investor pays the investor who recruited them for the right to partake in the scheme.

How Do I Protect Myself Against Ponzi Scheme?

Take the following measures to protect yourself against a ponzi scheme:

  • Be wary of any investment opportunity that seems too good to be true, such as one that promises an extraordinarily high return with little risk.
  • Perform thorough research on any business, project or person you are considering investing your money in. This due diligence will help to raise any alarms before it is too late.
  • Seek advice from an impartial third party, such as an independent financial advisor, before you part ways with your hard-earning savings.
What Are The Warning Signs of A Ponzi Scheme?

While ponzi schemes can be challenging to identify before their investors suffer significant losses, there are certain red flags to watch out for. Common warning signs of a ponzi scheme include:

  • Questionably high rates of return with little or no risk
  • Strangely uniform returns
  • Scheduled returns that suddenly cease
  • Terms that make it practically impossible to release rather than re-invest returns
  • Investment documents with unfounded or inconsistent information
  • Investment managers who are difficult to contact and slow to answer queries

By keeping an eye out for the above warning signs, you may be able to put a stop to the ponzi scheme before it brings you irreversible financial harm.

If you suspect that you are being targeted by a ponzi scheme, please contact IFW Global immediately to arrange a consultation.

Is A Ponzi Scheme Illegal?

Yes, it is illegal to run a ponzi scheme. Consequently, the offender behind a ponzi scheme may face criminal charges if actionable evidence is uncovered against them. 

Provided participants are unaware of any illegal business practices, the only offender(s) in a ponzi scheme is the original perpetrator(s) behind it.

How Long Will A ponzi Scheme Investigation Take?

Ponzi scheme investigations typically take between one and three months. This estimate varies according to the sophistication of the scheme and whether you wish to take legal action against its orchestrator(s). 

If the offender is successfully identified and located, our investigators can liaise with law enforcement officials to help file search warrants and/or criminal charges against them – a complex and time-consuming step that may extend the overall procedure.

How Much Does it Cost To Investigate A Ponzi Scheme?
  • Data recovery may be possible depending on the complexity of the ransomware attack. Successful retrieval relies on the type of hardware affected, payload executed, and actions taken in response to the attack.

    At IFW, we perform each malware investigation with a proactive and adaptable approach, developing a tailored response strategy to help you maximise the likelihood of successful data recovery.

What Are The Likelihood of A Successful Investigation?

The likelihood of a successful investigation rests entirely on the unique circumstances of the case at hand. The more admissible evidence our investigators collect, the greater the chances that you will be able to take legal action against the scammer. 

To estimate the realistic likelihood of tracking down the offender who targeted you, we will conduct a preliminary assessment of your case. Equipped with this specialist insight, you may decide whether or not to proceed with the ponzi scheme investigation.
