WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING

Fraud Defense Group has quickly become a trusted partner in the battle against financial fraud, earning recognition from experts in both law enforcement and the legal community.

Chris Swecker Retired Assistant Director FBI and Fox News Contributor

Fraud Defense Group has developed a much needed and brilliant approach, not only to fight for fraud victims but to also bring them peace of mind. The FDG is a lifeline for anyone who had been the victim of scammers who exploit vulnerabilities in our financial institutions causing staggering monetary losses.

Glenn Tierney Retired SR Director | Financial Crimes Investigations

For too long there’s been a belief that financial institutions put the same effort into recovering losses when they really only get motivated about reimbursable losses, and even then , they can absorb a lot of losses into their “ cost of doing business” budgets. Congrats FDG for providing much needed solutions for fraud victims.

Lawrence Wolfenden Cyber Security Expert and Retired FBI Agent

When criminals manage to steal your hard-earned money, they count on being able to move faster than you can respond. For the best chance to recover your funds, you need to engage someone who knows the ins and outs of banking regulations, someone who knows how to work with banks and law enforcement agencies at a state, federal, and international level. You need someone like the professionals at FDG.

Doug Smith Retired Postal Inspector Service Supervisor Agent

After 30 years in state and federal law enforcement, including a supervisory role overseeing major fraud schemes and hundreds of investigations, I have rarely seen victims recover their funds. FDG is the first firm I have encountered that truly delivers results for fraud victims, providing a level of recovery I had not thought possible.

TESTIMONIALS

Below, we share some of their testimonials, which reflect the positive impact of our solutions and the quality of our commitment to their success.

Jose Q. Pharmacy Saas

"While searching for investment opportunities in the US, I fell victim to a scheme that nearly cost me $147,000. A friend recommended FDG, and they took on my case, recovering all of my money. I am forever grateful to FDG for restoring my family’s peace of mind."

George D. CEO, Ultra Socks

"I never imagined falling victim to a $300k fraud, but it happened. Fraud Defense Group took my case, proved I was an innocent victim, and even negotiated with the IRS to return my seized funds. Thanks to FDG, I got my money and my reputation back."

David G. Confidential

“Following a $650k wire transfer loss due to a business email compromise, our bank provided no assistance. FDG quickly stepped in, traced the funds, and recovered $500k. They also identified process gaps to prevent future incidents. Their quick action was crucial.”

Alex S. Venezuelan Business Owner

"I lost over a million dollar in a Ponzi scheme’s, I felt hopeless as a non-U.S. citizen, believing I would never recover my savings. Thankfully, FDG tracked down the perpetrator and collaborated with U.S. federal agents to open a case. Now, I’m awaiting justice. Thanks FDG, for your excellent work!"

Joe T. President | McKibbon Hotel Group, Inc.

"My business was hit by a Business Email Compromise (BEC), resulting in a significant financial loss. The bank offered no help, and the police said it would take time. On my lawyer’s recommendation, I contacted Fraud Defense Group. They immediately took action and tracked down the funds at another bank that same day. At the end, FDG was able to recover 100% of my lost funds. Their fast response truly made all the difference.”

Shelly W. Randy Wilson Quarter Horses - Ohio

"Our family office became the victim of an SMS text scam. Our attorney recommended FDG, and they have been guiding us through the claim dispute escalation process, conducting an investigation to secure a criminal prosecution, and have been very attentive to our situation."

Alicia R. Business Owner

"I want to thank FDG for their help a few months ago with an issue we had with a major U.S. bank. We mistakenly transferred a large amount from a checking account to an expired credit card, and being in Venezuela made it very difficult to fix. After many frustrating calls, we were referred to this group, who quickly and successfully resolved the issue. Most importantly, they treated us with great empathy and kindness."

Ysaac A. Business Owner

"I often hear about businesses falling victim to fraud schemes but never thought it would happen to us. Our firm unknowingly processed a payable invoice with altered account information, resulting in $136,000 being diverted to another bank. We immediately contacted the local police and FDG. Within days, FDG successfully recovered our funds, leaving even the police department impressed by the positive outcome. I can’t recommend FDG enough—they are truly lifesavers!"

Francisco C. Retired Commercial Airline Pilot

When my $95K fraud claim was denied without explanation, I was shocked. After 30 years with my bank, I never expected to struggle to recover my own funds. The process was frustrating, and at times, it felt like the bank was blaming me instead of investigating the fraud. FDG stepped in, conducted a thorough investigation, and proved my account was compromised. After two months of being blocked, the bank finally returned my funds. I am deeply grateful to FDG for their expertise and persistence in resolving my case.

Johnny Lantz Title Exchange

We are always extremely careful when processing payments, but a team member still fell victim to a Business Email Compromise (BEC). Not knowing where to turn, our attorneys immediately recommended Fraud Defense Group (FDG). They jumped into action, identified the perpetrator, and tracked the stolen funds. Thanks to their hard work, we recovered $317,000 of a $321,000 wire. While there was a small loss, it was nothing compared to what we could have faced without FDG. They also gave us great recommendations to strengthen our processes and avoid becoming a target again. Their expertise and professionalism made all the difference, thank you, FDG!

Kim C. Grower Network | Corbett Farms

When a $54,000 payment was stolen in an invoice fraud scheme, our bank offered no help in tracing the funds. Thankfully, FDG stepped in immediately and recovered $31,000, minimizing our losses. They went the extra mile, even meeting with the recipient of the stolen funds. Their thorough investigative report impressed both us and law enforcement. FDG delivers real results!
