What our clients say
Genuine feedback from people who recovered funds with our specialist support.
After a cloned broker took a large part of my savings, I felt too ashamed to tell anyone. Veridalis listened without judgement and explained exactly what could and could not be done. They prepared the bank and card claims I would never have known how to file.
What I valued most was the honesty. They were realistic about my chances from day one and never promised what they could not deliver. Updates were regular and clear, and I finally felt someone was on my side.
The crypto scam I fell for involved wallets in several countries. The team traced where the money went and coordinated the claims across borders. Professional from start to finish.

Everything about our fraud-recovery work
Answers to the questions we hear most from victims of online fraud, fake investments and misappropriated assets.
What types of fraud do you handle?
Most financial-fraud cases, in Croatia and abroad:
- Crypto & digital assets: fake exchanges, bogus ICOs, NFT scams, wallet-draining.
- Unauthorised trading platforms & brokers: Forex, CFDs, binary options, offshore “brokers”.
- Investment fraud: inflated projects, shell companies, fake high-yield opportunities.
- Ponzi schemes & pyramids: structures paying old investors with new investors’ money.
- Fake “AI” and “auto-trading” systems: bots or algorithms promising guaranteed returns.
What are the chances of recovery?
It depends on the case: how the funds moved, how quickly you act, the quality of the documentation, and third parties outside our control (banks, payment providers, platforms, authorities). We give you an honest read at the assessment stage, rather than promising an outcome. We do not guarantee recovery.
How are your fees set?
We explain any costs clearly and in writing before you commit. We never ask for cryptocurrency, seed phrases, wallet keys, or payments to “unlock” or “release” funds; those requests are a hallmark of fraud.
How long does a recovery take?
Timelines vary widely, from a few weeks for some card and bank claims to many months for complex cross-border cases. We set realistic expectations at the start and keep you updated as things move.
What if the scammer is abroad?
Most online fraud is cross-border, and that is core to our work. Through our EU partner network we coordinate with foreign banks, courts and police cooperation to pursue funds beyond Croatia.
What documents do I need to open a case?
Anything you have: payment receipts and bank statements, the platform or “broker” name and website, emails or chat logs, screenshots, wallet addresses or transaction IDs, and any contracts. The more complete the evidence, the stronger the claim.
Does this still apply if the fraud was months ago?
Often, yes, but act quickly. Some banking and card remedies are time-limited, while other routes remain open longer. Even for older cases, an assessment is worthwhile.
Can you guarantee a full refund?
No. Anyone who guarantees a full recovery is not being honest with you. Outcomes depend on the specifics of each case and on third parties we do not control. What we guarantee is an honest assessment and diligent work through every viable channel.
Free, confidential initial consultation. We analyse the fraud, notify the relevant institutions and initiate the appropriate civil or criminal action.
