Transnational Internet fraud cases

Transnational Internet fraud cases

Case Overview:

Liu suffered significant financial losses by trusting an investment platform that claimed to offer high returns. The platform attracted many investors through an elaborate website and marketing strategy, but disappeared after receiving their investment money. When the victims realised they had been scammed, they immediately contacted our law firm for help.

Legal Response:

Initial communication and victim counseling:
In the first meeting, our team of lawyers listened to the victim's statement in detail and gathered all relevant transaction records, correspondence records and information provided by the platform. Through professional legal advice, we helped the victim sort through the key points of the case and formulate a detailed response plan.

Background of the investigation platform:
In order to obtain more evidence, our team conducted an in-depth investigation of the platform involved, including its registration information, server location, and operation team. Through cooperation with cybersecurity experts, we found several suspicious aspects of the platform, such as the use of false identity registration, the server is located overseas, and so on, further confirming the nature of its fraud.

Cross-border tracing and cooperation:
Given that the platform involved and the suspects may be involved in cross-border activities, our team of lawyers quickly initiated the international legal assistance process, contacting the police in the victim's home country and Interpol to share the investigation results and request assistance in tracking down the suspects. Through multilateral cooperation, several key suspects were eventually identified, and simultaneous arrest operations were carried out in multiple locations.

Litigation and Fund Recovery:
Having ensured that there was sufficient evidence to support it, we filed a civil suit on behalf of the victim seeking damages. At the same time, we actively cooperated with the judicial authorities in interrogating the arrested criminal suspects, and provided detailed transaction records and correspondence records as evidence. After a series of legal procedures, the court judgment supported our lawsuit request and ordered the defendant to return the illegal gains and pay the corresponding compensation.

Case Outcome:

In the end, with our efforts, the victim managed to recover most of the cheated funds and avoid greater economic losses. In addition, the successful handling of the case has also served as a warning to other potential victims and raised public awareness of online fraud prevention.
