one or more of the internet fraud schemes you,ve been a victim of. See
necessary case details below. The perpetrator and their group of
co-offenders had over 2000 aliases originating from Russia, Nigeria,
Ghana, London and many more masking their original identities.
Our records indicate that you have been a victim of fraud because your
contact details were found on several devices belonging to the
perpetrator. Following court orders, this makes you eligible to
receive restitution for damages caused by their crimes. Being that

of individuals and companies of several nationalities, we determined
that the investigation had to be kept private and away from public
media to maintain unitary judgment and integrity in international
relations.
Because this was a private investigation, all victims (Including
Yourself) were represented by a professional court-appointed public
defender.

years, successfully secured restitution payments of GBP 1,455,000.00
