In 2019, investigating scams became a regulated activity in Great Britain. Safe Or Scam chose not to pay high fees to the FCA as there is no benefit to the company. We do not sell or promote investments to anyone. We are solely an investigations firm.
As a result of declining to become FCA-regulated, we are required to have a pop-up box on the website to prevent UK citizens from viewing our content, using our services or benefitting from being made aware of the latest scams and follow-on-frauds which we publicise through regular Scam Alert warnings on our blog page.
This restriction only applies to citizens of Great Britain and does not apply to citizens of other countries. A lot of scam victims around the world view our website and benefit from our services.
If you have already made your investment and it is clear it is a scam we can investigate, propose options for recovery and work with you to pursue recovery actions. If necessary we work with law firms, insolvency firms, accountants and other investigation firms to expose scams and help victims recover as much of their money as possible.
Don’t let the scammers get away with your money. If you want to find them and need help to recover your money please contact us. Getting money back from scammers is never easy, but we have a very good success record and we don’t give up.
The number of false, misleading and scam investments being promoted to the public is increasing. They often appear highly credible, low risk and are sold by very persuasive sales teams. Often this is just a smokescreen. The projects fail. Websites disappear. Phone calls and emails go unanswered. Investors are left high and dry with no idea of how to recover their investment.
SOS can review all elements of the investments and provide investors with personalised guidance on potential recovery options. We help to form investor action groups to pursue recovery actions. We track down the perpetrators and hold them to account. We can involve solicitor partners when necessary and will do our utmost to recover investor funds.
