Practice

Let’s talk

How we help recover money lost to scams

Fraud recovery claims usually involve proving that your bank, card provider or payment provider could have done more to protect you. We review what happened, examine the transactions, gather evidence and pursue the strongest route to recovery. This may involve complaints to the bank, the Financial Ombudsman Service or legal action where appropriate.

Scams come in many forms. The most frequent ones we see include:

Cryptocurrency Fraud

Fake exchanges, investment platforms and phishing emails designed to steal your digital assets.

Impersonation Scams

Scammers pretend to be banks, HMRC or the police and pressure you into sending money.

Investment Scams

Bogus opportunities promising high returns.

Advanced Fee Scams

Fraudsters request upfront payments for products or services that never materialise.

Romance Scams

Con artists build online relationships before inventing urgent reasons to ask for money.

Purchase, invoice and job scams

Fake sellers, invoices and too‑good‑to‑be‑true job offers.

The Impact of being victim to fraud and scams

The impact of fraud and scams

Fraud can cause stress, anxiety, embarrassment and a loss of trust. Many victims blame themselves, but scammers are sophisticated and deliberately target people’s fears, hopes and vulnerabilities. Taking action quickly can improve your chances of recovering your money.

The Emotional Toll

Many victims feel embarrassed, anxious or ashamed, even though the blame sits with the scammer. Fraudsters are skilled at manipulation and deliberately target people when they are vulnerable, trusting or under pressure.

Why quick action matters

The sooner you act, the better your chances of recovery may be. Banks, payment providers and regulators often work to strict timescales, so early advice can make a real difference.

Take back control. Recover your lost funds with Mendelsons.

Case studies

Case 1

A client transferred £18,000 after a scammer posing as a bank employee told her to move money into a “safe account”. Her bank refused to refund her. We challenged the decision, escalated the case and helped secure reimbursement in full with interest.

Case 2

A client lost £9,500 after being contacted by someone claiming to be from their bank’s fraud team. They were told their account was at risk and were persuaded to move money to a “safe” account. The bank initially refused to refund the payment, saying the client had authorised the transfer. We reviewed the evidence, challenged the bank’s response and helped pursue recovery through the complaints process.

Case 3

A client paid £12,750 into what appeared to be a legitimate online investment platform. The website looked professional, the adviser seemed knowledgeable and the client was shown fake returns. When they tried to withdraw their money, they were asked for further fees and then the company stopped responding. We helped gather the evidence, challenge the financial institutions involved and pursue recovery options.
