Wire Fraud & Business Email Compromise (BEC)
Investigating fraudulent bank transfers, intercepted escrow payments, and spoofed executive communications through deep banking route audits and email forensics.
⚖️ Investigation Scope Notice
Restitution Group is a private investigation agency that specializes in finding and collecting evidence. The company never guarantees the successful recovery of victims' lost funds in wire fraud cases. Recovery outcomes depend on swift bank recall procedures, judicial freeze orders, and financial institution cooperation. We gather the forensic evidence required to support your legal and banking actions.
High-Value Wire Fraud Scenarios We Investigate
Wire fraud frequently targets high-value financial events such as commercial acquisitions, real estate transactions, and corporate payroll distributions.
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
Adversaries compromise executive email accounts (Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace) via session-token theft. They configure hidden forwarding rules and instruct accounting teams to divert pending invoice payments to new bank accounts.
Real Estate & Escrow Diversion
Homebuyers and title agencies receive spoofed "updated closing instructions" shortly before closing day. The fraudulent wire instructions redirect the buyer's down payment into a commercial mule account that is instantly disbursed.
Vendor & Supply Chain Impersonation
Hackers register visually identical look-alike domains of regular international suppliers (e.g. replacing `l` with `1` or adding `-corp`). They issue urgent requests for payment to alternate foreign intermediary banks.
SWIFT Intermediary Dispersal
International wires bounce through multiple intermediary correspondent banks before hitting the receiving bank. We audit the MT103 single-customer credit transfer document to pinpoint where the diversion occurred.
The 24-48 Hour Emergency Response Protocol
Requesting an urgent SWIFT MT199/MT192 cancellation message through your sending bank and submitting an expedited referral to the US Secret Service Financial Crimes Task Force.
Preserving full RFC 822 email headers, extracting originating IP logs, and providing beneficiary bank risk departments with formal fraud affidavits to freeze recipient accounts.
When funds have already moved past the initial receiving bank, we compile the evidentiary dossier needed for civil counsel to serve third-party subpoenas and pursue downstream recovery.
