Verify an investment.

Our discreet due diligence enables clients to verify an investment is credible before they proceed.

Is an investment real or fake?

Unless you are investing in a well established framework that can demonstrate a sound track record it makes sense to clarify your options before you invest. We gather information from hundreds of intelligence, financial, criminal and dark-net sources to determine whether an investment is real or fake.

Deep intelligence resources

Our research team will evaluate the investment opportunity by thoroughly assessing the people behind it. This will include accessing their criminal and financial records and identifying whether they have any current or previous links to criminal or fraudulent activities. Our investigations are discreet and do not leave a footprint.

Ascertain clarity before you invest

Conducting an investment is no different from making a business transaction so it makes sense to know exactly who you’re dealing with.

You wouldn’t blindly hand money to someone you don’t know so why should an investment be treated any differently?

Whether you’re considering an investment in wine, property, cryptocurrency, stocks or other it’s important to safeguard your financial position before you part with your money.

Our verification service is available regardless of how little or how much you want to invest.

How we verify an investment is noted further down this page.

For foundation level investors

Sentry Intelligence mitigate risk for and on behalf of HNWI and wealth management entities by undertaking forensic due diligence on foundation level investment opportunities.

Working with government intelligence agencies on a global scale we are able to access information that is not readily available to commercial organisations. As such we can conduct an unparalleled level of investigation in to the structure of those behind a target investment.

This service is particularly useful when evaluating a high-yielding overseas investment proposition where a HNWI maybe subject to governmental scrutiny.

How we verify investments

Fraudsters use sophisticated methods to entice investors. Our investigations uncover:

[1] fake investments.
[2] fake companies and identities.
[3] associates with links to criminal or fraudulent activities.
[4] previous involvement in bribery, corruption or fraud.
[5] international arrest warrants of those behind the opportunity.
[6] fake bank accounts and proof of funds.
[7] travel patterns that raise trigger points of concern within the intelligence services.
[8] methods of transferring money notably used by criminals to launder money.
[9] documents containing suspicious methods of agreement.
[10] fake meetings in reputable banks with corrupt employees.
[11] fake websites and social media channels.

Our intelligence-led investigations serve to protect the personal and financial integrity of our clients.

Our fee structure

As with all Sentry Intelligence services absolute transparency with regards to fees is paramount both for clarity and peace-of-mind.

For clarity our investigations are conducted on a modest, ‘fixed fee’ basis. This covers both pre-investment verification and asset recovery investigations.

For peace-of-mind, should you instruct us to recover lost funds this is conducted on a percentage-based recovery fee basis which is only charged once we’ve successfully recovered your money. Should we not recover your money or incur any unexpected costs during investigation or recovery, we will bare such costs.

All investigations are conducted by senior officers working at the forefront of crime prevention.
