Investigators focused on evidence, not promises.
FIR — Fraud Investigation & Recovery — was founded to give victims of online fraud and cyber incidents access to a structured, professional investigation process, without exaggerated guarantees or pressure tactics.
Founded in 2017Our mission
We believe every client deserves a clear, honest account of what happened to them online — supported by evidence, not assumptions. Our mission is to apply rigorous investigative methods to digital fraud and cyber incidents, so clients can make informed decisions about their next steps, whether that means pursuing recovery, reporting to authorities, or simply understanding the truth.
What guides our work
Evidence over assumption
Every finding we report is backed by verifiable digital evidence, not speculation.
Confidentiality by default
Every case is handled discreetly, with strict controls over who can access your information.
Honest expectations
We explain realistic outcomes upfront and never promise a specific recovery result.
Clear communication
You receive plain-language updates and a report you can actually understand and use.
Why we do this work
Online fraud and cyber incidents rarely come with clear answers. Victims are often left with a locked account, a missing balance and no one able to explain what actually happened. FIR was built to close that gap — combining digital forensics, blockchain analysis and traditional investigative practice into a single, structured service that treats every case with the seriousness it deserves.
FIR was founded in 2017 with its headquarters in the United Kingdom, a country that consistently records some of the highest volumes of online fraud in Europe. We built our base there deliberately: staying close to where fraud is most active lets us apply the same rigorous standard to victims across the continent. Our casework today extends into France, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and we maintain a dedicated legal entity in France that manages court filings and legal proceedings for scam and fraud cases under French law.
Where we work
Our UK headquarters oversees every investigation, supported by a network of casework and legal capability across Europe, so clients receive the same standard of evidence and reporting no matter where the fraud took place.
