Uncovering Fraud: RiskMind's OSINT and HUMINT Investigation and Techniques

Investors in high-risk ventures enlisted RiskMind's advanced fraud investigation techniques through their law firm after investing in a seemingly lucrative opportunity. The company claimed to have developed an advanced algorithm for arbitrage. After six months of apparent profits, investors were unable to withdraw their money and found themselves locked out of their accounts.

At RiskMind, we specialize in cutting-edge fraud investigation techniques. We formulated a plan of action that would expose the true identities of those responsible for the scam, providing the investors' lawyers with crucial information for legal action.

Our fraud investigation techniques primarily involved two powerful tools: Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and Human Intelligence (HUMINT). The OSINT phase of our investigation focused on understanding the scammers' ecosystem – identifying websites, IP addresses, servers, email domains, and social media accounts related to the fraudulent company.

By employing sophisticated fraud investigation techniques in our OSINT work, we identified several suspected true identities related to the scammers. Although the scam was well-prepared, our methods uncovered online footprints that remained accessible through various investigative approaches.

We then moved to the HUMINT phase of our fraud investigation techniques. Our field operatives contacted the company posing as potential new investors. Through careful maneuvering, we secured a video chat with the suspects, allowing us to compare them with the online profiles we had uncovered during the OSINT phase.

These combined fraud investigation techniques provided undisputable evidence of the scammers' involvement, revealing their true identities and locations. Our methods even uncovered additional suspects not identified during the initial OSINT investigation.

At RiskMind, we offer enhanced due diligence services that leverage state-of-the-art fraud investigation techniques. Our expert investigators use a combination of traditional and modern intelligence-gathering methods, including advanced OSINT and HUMINT strategies, to identify potential risks and verify the legitimacy of business relationships.

By employing these comprehensive fraud investigation techniques, we help our clients make informed decisions about potential business partners, investments, or acquisitions.
