Flare · Scams and fraud

You've been scammed, or someone inside is stealing.

Fraud comes from outside and inside. Outside, it might be a fake investment, an impersonated supplier or a remote-access scam. Inside, it might be altered invoices, fake suppliers or payments that don't add up.

Either way, the evidence is digital: emails, messages, transaction records, documents and device activity. Collected properly, it helps your bank, police, insurer and lawyers act.

What Flare does

How we help

Secure the evidence

We forensically collect devices, accounts and records so nothing is lost or disputed later.

Trace the activity

We reconstruct what happened, when, and through which accounts and devices.

Check document authenticity

We examine documents and records for signs of alteration or fabrication.

Package it for action

Findings are prepared for your bank, police, insurer or lawyers, in a form they can use.

We can't guarantee recovery or identify every offender; scammers often hide behind layers of accounts. What we deliver is a clear, defensible account of what happened that gives others the best chance to act.

Common questions

Can you find out who the scammer is?

Sometimes the evidence points to accounts, services or people. Often it ends at overseas infrastructure. We'll tell you honestly what the evidence shows and what it doesn't.

We suspect an employee. What should we do?

Don't confront them yet. Speak to us and your lawyer so evidence is preserved before they know you're looking.
