Detective agency INVESTMENT PROTECTION is a professional organization specializing in investigating financial fraud and protecting the interests of affected investors.
Since its founding in 1993, Investment Protection Agency began by investigating local financial fraud schemes across France, helping individuals and businesses recover from small-scale scams. As our reputation grew, we assembled a specialized team to expand globally, tackling increasingly complex cross-border cases. The rise of cryptocurrency marked a new chapter — we pioneered blockchain forensics to combat digital asset fraud, becoming one of the first firms to successfully recover stolen crypto for victims.
Initially focused on traditional banking fraud and investment scams, we gradually developed expertise in cryptocurrency tracing, regulator liaisons, and international asset recovery. Today, our operations span Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with a network of former law enforcement specialists, financial analysts, and legal experts who work discreetly to freeze and reclaim stolen funds.
What distinguishes us is our ground-level origins — we understand how fraudsters operate at both street-level cons and sophisticated cybercrimes. Unlike large consulting firms, we prioritize direct action: Interpol/Europol collaboration for urgent cases Real-time communication with crypto exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX) Non-public recovery methods to avoid alerting criminals Every case is handled personally by senior investigators — no junior analysts or automated reports.
