CLG Recovery helps individuals affected by online scams and financial fraud understand their recovery options. We provide case reviews, evidence assessment, transaction tracing, and guidance throughout the recovery process. Free consultation with no upfront recovery fees.
CLG Recovery focuses on online scam recovery and fraud response. We review what happened, preserve the information that may matter, map the money trail where possible, and help you understand which recovery and reporting channels may be available for your specific case.
Watch this short introduction to learn how CLG Recovery approaches online fraud cases, evidence review, transaction tracing, and recovery escalation.
Recovery is rarely one single action. A useful response starts with understanding exactly how the scam happened, where the money went, which institutions touched the transaction, and what evidence is still available. We organize that information into a clear case path and help you act without sending more money to the scammer.

Below are six of the most common categories people contact us about. We also assist with many other online scam types. Your initial consultation is free, and our recovery fee is 10% only after funds are successfully recovered, taken from the recovered funds.
Fake investment platforms, crypto trading schemes, fraudulent exchanges, token offers, mining schemes, and other investment fraud designed to make deposits look profitable until withdrawals are blocked.
Scammers build trust through dating apps, social media, or messaging and then create emergencies, investment opportunities, travel problems, or other reasons to request money.
Fake recruiters and task platforms promise easy remote income, then ask for deposits, equipment payments, crypto top-ups, checks, or personal information before the supposed earnings can be released.
Fraudulent emails, texts, login pages, calls, or support messages are used to steal credentials, payment details, authentication codes, or direct access to financial and online accounts.
Criminals pose as banks, government agencies, companies, celebrities, support teams, or trusted people and pressure victims into sending money or moving funds for supposed safety.
Fake stores, marketplace listings, sellers, auctions, delivery messages, and payment requests are used to collect money for goods or services that never arrive or are not as represented.
We build the response around the facts of your case rather than using one generic method for every scam.
You tell us what happened, how contact began, what was promised, how payment was made, and what happened when you tried to withdraw, cancel, dispute, or get your money back.
We organize the available evidence and review transaction details, bank references, payment processors, wallet addresses, platform records, domains, messages, and other indicators relevant to the case.
We identify the channels that may still be available and help prepare the information needed for disputes, recalls, platform or exchange reports, official complaints, insurer claims, or specialist legal escalation where appropriate.
We do not treat every loss as automatically recoverable. We assess what can actually be done and explain the limitations as well as the opportunities.
Clear records make a case easier to report and escalate. We help organize transaction details, communications, receipts, platform records, and identifying information.
Where records allow, we follow the movement of funds through banks, processors, exchanges, wallets, payment apps, and other services to understand the route taken.
We help present the case to relevant financial institutions, platforms, exchanges, regulators, law enforcement reporting channels, and other appropriate organizations.
Many victims are targeted again by fake recovery services. We help identify common warning signs so one scam does not turn into another.
We help organize the facts needed for a clear complaint, including dates, payment methods, recipients, transaction references, usernames, domains, and relevant communications.
A card scam, wire fraud, crypto transfer, fake investment platform, or account takeover may each require a different response. We build the next steps around the actual transaction path.
You do not need to have every document ready before contacting us.
Explain the scam, how you were contacted, the payment method, approximate dates, and whether the scammer is still communicating with you.
We look at the type of transaction, available evidence, recipient details, timing, and the organizations involved.
We explain the next steps and the limits of the case before recovery or escalation work proceeds.
Clear answers about what recovery work can and cannot do.
We work with all major categories of online scam, including cryptocurrency and investment fraud, forex scams, romance and dating scams, phishing, impersonation, fake exchanges, wallet draining, rug pulls, NFT scams, tech support fraud, remote access scams, online shopping fraud, fake jobs and task scams, loan fraud, gift card scams, account takeovers, and many more.
No. Recovery depends on factors such as the payment method, timing, where the funds went, whether institutions can identify or freeze assets, available evidence, jurisdiction, and whether the recipient can be traced. We do not guarantee recovery.
Stop sending money, save the messages and transaction records, contact the bank or payment provider involved, secure any compromised accounts, and report the incident to the appropriate authorities. Do not warn the scammer about tracing or law enforcement activity if doing so could interfere with an investigation.
Public blockchain activity can often be analyzed using transaction hashes and wallet addresses. Tracing can help map where assets moved, but tracing alone does not give anyone the authority to seize or return funds.
No. We do not need your seed phrase, private keys, passwords, PINs, or one time authentication codes. Never provide these to anyone who says they are required for recovery.
Be very cautious with any demand to send money to a personal wallet or unknown account to unlock supposed recovered funds. Legitimate fees should be clearly documented, tied to a real service or institution, and independently verifiable. A demand for repeated payments is a common recovery scam warning sign.
Depending on the case, recovery work may involve preparing information for banks, payment companies, exchanges, online platforms, regulators, law enforcement reporting channels, insurers, or independent legal professionals. CLG Recovery does not control those organizations and cannot guarantee how they will respond.
Useful information can include dates, amounts, bank or card references, wallet addresses and transaction hashes, receipts, screenshots, emails, usernames, phone numbers, websites, social profiles, contracts, and the sequence of events. Do not send passwords, private keys, seed phrases, or authentication codes.
Use the WhatsApp or Telegram button on this site, or send a message through the contact form. Give a short summary of what happened and the payment method used. We can then explain what information is relevant for an initial review.
