What you should know about our offer

We offer investigation services. These services come in the form of an Investigation Report along with a suggested Action Plan. You can then use these as tools to get your money back yourself — or work with our team end-to-end.

You only pay if we recover your money

No upfront fees. No hidden costs. We work on a success fee — a percentage charged only when your funds are actually returned.

Investigations led by a Certified Fraud Examiner ACFE

No win, no fee

You pay nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the money we recover — if we recover nothing, you owe nothing.

Free case review

Every case starts with a free, honest assessment. If it can't be recovered, we tell you straight — and it costs you nothing.

The report is yours

Whatever the outcome, the Investigation Report belongs to you — a tool for banks, exchanges and law enforcement.

Get a free case assessment

Tell us what happened. Our team reviews your case free of charge and tells you honestly whether it can be recovered — and what it would take.

✓ Certified Fraud Examiners ✓ Success fee only — no upfront cost ✓ We never ask for crypto
✓ Received. We'll review your case and reply within 24 hours.

Recovery is never guaranteed. We provide investigation and crypto tracing services, and our work is not intended to replace the help of local law enforcement. If you've been scammed, we advise you to first turn to the relevant authorities in your country.

(Last Update: July 2026)

We provide tools and guidance to individuals and businesses in their pursuit of money they lost to scammers. Our goal is continually improving our services' effectiveness, so we believe in openly displaying our results.

Why work with us?

We only take on cases we believe can result in a substantial retrieval and, therefore, worth investigating. That's why we are entirely transparent when evaluating every case. If it can't be done, we will tell you so. But if we feel there is a chance for full or partial retrieval, we'll get to work immediately.

About us

Your money back guarantee

Retrieving your losses can be a lengthy process, and it all starts with our investigation. We need your trust every step of the way.

So if for any reason you are doubtful, you can ask for a full refund within 14 business days.*

*Refund applies to our investigation service fees, not to recovered funds. Terms & Conditions apply.

More about Retraced Partners and our Fraud Investigation Services

Retraced Partners is a private investigation firm specialising in tracing funds lost to investment, crypto and forex fraud. We prepare investigative reports and evidence packs that assist victims, law firms, banks and law enforcement in recovery efforts.
A report maps where your money went and who received it. With that evidence, you (or your attorney) can approach the bank, exchange, regulator or court with a concrete claim — instead of a story. Reports are built to be admissible in complaints and proceedings.
No. Like all legitimate investigators, we cannot guarantee specific results. Recovery depends on the payment trail, counterparties and applicable law. What we guarantee is an honest assessment up front and a written trace report you keep regardless of outcome.
The free consultation exists exactly for this. We review your documents and tell you straight whether the trail looks traceable. If it doesn't, you'll know early — with guidance on next steps, not a sales pitch.
We charge a fixed case fee for the trace work, agreed in writing before any work begins, and a success fee only on funds actually recovered. Any firm demanding a large advance fee to "guarantee" a refund is the pattern you should run from.
We never contact the scammers. Our route is through banks, exchanges, payment processors and law enforcement — the institutions that can actually freeze and reverse. Alerting the fraudster is how recovery fails.

A large volume of scam cases, reviewed one at a time

Every week our team reviews a large number of fraud cases — forex, crypto, binary options, romance and second-stage recovery scams. Here's how we work, and how to reach us.

Most victims come to us after months of silence from the platform that took their money — with nothing but chat logs, wallet addresses and a string of transfers. We assess each case against real evidence: the payment trail, the counterparties and the jurisdictions involved.

That volume of cases is exactly what lets us work fast and honestly. We take on what can be traced, and we tell you straight — often within the first conversation — when a case can't be recovered.

No two scams are identical, but the patterns repeat. Fill in the form and we'll review your case free of charge, then tell you whether it's worth pursuing.

✓ Received. We'll review your case and reply within 24 hours.

We provide investigation, tracing and report services. Our services are not intended to replace the help of local law enforcement. If you've been scammed, we advise you to first turn to the relevant authorities in your country.
