Problem

Business Email Compromise (BEC)

A spoofed vendor or executive email convinced your finance team to wire payment to a fraudster's account — sometimes during the final hour of a real deal.

Our solution

Same-day recall and beneficiary freeze

We trigger SWIFT MT103 recall procedures and escalate directly to the receiving bank's fraud desk to lock the funds before they move again.

Problem

Authorised Push Payment (APP) scam

An impersonator posing as your bank, HMRC, or a solicitor pressured you to move funds to a 'safe account' that was anything but.

Our solution

Bank dispute and CRM Code leverage

We build the reimbursement claim under the UK CRM Code or equivalent local rules and push the originating bank to reverse where liability sits with them.

Problem

Mule-account layering

Funds were split across multiple receiving accounts and forwarded within hours — the classic obfuscation pattern that defeats slow recalls.

Our solution

Multi-hop trace and clawback

We map every onward transfer and pursue clawbacks at second- and third-hop banks, not just the first beneficiary.

Our approach

Rapid recall request

Within hours of engagement we trigger SWIFT MT103 recall and FedWire reversal procedures via originating banks.

Beneficiary bank pressure

Direct escalation to fraud and compliance desks at receiving institutions to place administrative holds.

Mule-chain mapping

We track onward layering so funds can still be clawed back from second- and third-hop accounts.
