What it is
Someone approaches you on social media or a dating app, builds a relationship of trust and affection and, over time, starts asking for money: an emergency, a trip, a fee to release a gift. These profiles usually use other people’s photos and well-rehearsed stories. Falling for this scam is not naivety. It is designed precisely to exploit real feelings.
How it works
- We listen to your story and analyze the conversations and the payments made.
- We check where the photos came from and cross-check the profiles, numbers and accounts used.
- We work to identify who is behind the profile and where the money went.
- We deliver an organized report for the boletim de ocorrência (police report) and legal action.
What we will need from you
- The conversations, from the first to the last contact (if they were on WhatsApp, use the "Export chat" option; on other platforms, screenshots)
- Links or @ of the profiles the person used
- Photos they sent you (the files, if possible)
- Receipts for Pix payments, transfers or deposits
- Approximate dates and the total amount sent
- Phone numbers and emails they used
- Boletim de ocorrência (police report), if you have already filed one
We never ask for passwords, verification codes or access to your accounts.
