Sicarius · Referrers

For the advisers clients call first.

When a client has been hacked, defrauded or suspects a staff member, they usually call their lawyer, accountant or broker before anyone else. This page explains what we do, how to refer, and what your client receives.

The most useful advice in the first hour

If a client calls you with a digital problem, tell them: stop using the device, don't delete anything, don't let IT wipe or reimage it, and call their bank if money has moved. Then call us.
