Private Investigators and Scam Recovery: How We Work Behind the Scenes

When most people think of private investigators, they picture someone in a trench coat with a camera.
But today’s scams — especially online and crypto fraud — demand a different kind of investigation.

At SafeHaven Recovery, our modern approach combines digital forensics, blockchain tracking, and old-fashioned intelligence work to support victims and their families. Here’s how we operate behind the scenes.


🔍 What Does a Scam Recovery Investigator Actually Do?

In short: we follow the money, uncover the fraud network, and help build a path to possible recovery.
Whether you’ve been scammed out of £500 or £50,000, we approach each case with the same care and attention.

Our team investigates:

  • Cryptocurrency scams
  • Romance fraud
  • Fake investment platforms
  • Impersonation scams
  • Repeat targeting and recovery scams

🧠 Our Core Methods

1. Victim-Focused Interviews

We begin by understanding exactly what happened:

  • Who contacted the victim, and how?
  • What was said, shown, or promised?
  • What information was given and what payments were made?

This isn’t just about facts — it’s also about restoring confidence and gathering emotional context, which often reveals hidden clues.

2. Digital Evidence Collection

We help victims and families collect:

  • Emails, messages, and call logs
  • Screenshots of websites or apps used
  • Bank statements, crypto wallet addresses, and transactions

We know what to look for — and what will hold up in reports to banks, exchanges, or legal teams.

3. Blockchain Tracing & Platform Monitoring

We use specialist tools to:

  • Track cryptocurrency across wallets and exchanges
  • Flag known scam wallet addresses
  • Monitor dark web marketplaces for linked data or reused scam infrastructure

This goes far beyond what the average person — or even local police — can do alone.

4. Collaboration with Financial Institutions & Authorities

We liaise with:

  • Banks and card issuers
  • Crypto exchanges
  • UK agencies like Action Fraud
  • International cybercrime units, where applicable

We know the right language and format for urgent reports — often speeding up otherwise slow processes.


🕵️‍♂️ Why Use a Private Investigator for Scam Recovery?

Most victims don’t know where to start. Authorities are often overwhelmed. And scammers move fast.

Working with a professional gives you:

  • Immediate action (while evidence is still fresh)
  • Expert guidance (on reporting, securing accounts, and protecting vulnerable people)
  • A better chance at recovery
  • Peace of mind knowing someone is truly on your side

⚖️ Realistic, Ethical, and Confidential

We’ll always be honest about what’s possible.
We don’t promise guaranteed recovery — and we never take advantage of victims twice.
