Cryptocurrency sent to an incorrect or mistyped wallet address. Our blockchain forensics team traces and recovers misdirected digital assets.

Cold call share scams and unauthorised pension liberation schemes.
Fraudsters targeting victims a second time with fake recovery offers.
Not a scam, but a costly mistake? Whether you sent cryptocurrency to the wrong wallet address or wired fiat to an incorrect bank account, our forensic division specializes in reversing "irreversible" transactions.
Blockchain Asset Recovery
A single mistyped character or clipboard hijack can send your digital assets into the void. Because blockchain transactions are immutable, recovery requires advanced on-chain forensics and immediate legal injunctions.
We deploy enterprise-grade tracing tools to follow your funds across mixers, DEXs, and cross-chain bridges to identify the final custodial exchange.
We compel centralized exchanges (CEX) holding the funds to freeze the assets and disclose the recipient's KYC identity via High Court orders.
If the funds landed in an innocent third-party's private wallet, our legal team negotiates directly for the voluntary return of the misdirected assets.
Fiat Wire Reversal
A transposed digit in a sort code, account number, or SWIFT/BIC code can route your wire transfer to a stranger. Swift action and regulatory leverage are required to freeze and recall the funds.
We leverage the Payment Systems Regulator mandate to force UK banks to reimburse misdirected and APP fraud transfers up to £85,000.
We initiate immediate interbank recall requests and secure High Court freezing injunctions before the beneficiary can withdraw the capital.
If the receiving bank fails to act promptly, we escalate the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service to compel regulatory intervention.
In misdirected transfer cases, the first 24 hours are critical. The longer funds sit in a receiving account, the higher the risk of the beneficiary withdrawing or moving them to an untraceable offshore entity. Contact our forensic team immediately to initiate emergency freezing protocols.
