How can we help?
Our lawyers are experts at defending those accused of advance fee investment fraud. The fraud involves the specific targeting of victims to make advance or up front payments for goods or services, usually with the promise of substantial financial gain.
The promised goods, services and financial gain then does not happen. One of the most common ways of committing this fraud is the ‘419 scam’. This is so called as the number of the criminal code in Nigeria dealing with this type of scam. A letter/fax or email is sent out detailing elaborate reasons why the victims’ assistance is required to get cash out of the country and they will be asked to give their bank details and an up front fee in return for a large fee. The funds of course are never transferred.
