Successful investigation in this evolving landscape required new techniques, new technology and a new kind of detective.

What We Do
Our mission involves identifying, revealing, and thwarting financially-driven offenders and cybercrime networks across the globe. We provide essential safeguarding measures through focused cyber intelligence operations, clandestine monitoring endeavors, and routine sharing of information and evidence with state, federal, and international law enforcement bodies
In order to gain a thorough understanding of the intricate inner workings of groups involved in illicit activities, it is essential to undertake intensive investigative efforts.
Irrespective of the complexity or simplicity of the desired outcome, such as dismantling an illegal peer network, eradicating counterfeit goods from the market, or recovering lost assets due to fraudulent activities, a significant volume of evidence must be gathered to transform investigative findings into practical intelligence. Given that each case requires a unique approach, standardized solutions are insufficient in achieving the desired results.
For this reason, The Fraud Protection Group provides its clients with a methodical approach – a set of established procedures that follow a rigorous and systematic protocol – rather than an off-the-shelf product.”
