We specialise in helping victims of Nigerian inheritance scams reclaim their lost funds and protect themselves from further fraud.
Inheritance scams — commonly known as Nigerian scams — lure victims with the false promise of a large unclaimed inheritance from a distant relative or wealthy benefactor. You may be contacted out of the blue by letter, phone, text, email, or social media by someone posing as a lawyer, banker, or foreign official claiming you are the sole beneficiary of a fortune.
Scammers go to great lengths to appear legitimate — sending fake legal documents, power of attorney forms, and even arranging fake in-person meetings. Once you pay a fee or hand over personal details, the inheritance never arrives and your money is gone. If you have fallen victim to one of these schemes, our expert recovery team is here to help you reclaim what is rightfully yours.
These scams follow a well-documented pattern designed to build trust and urgency before extracting money or personal information.
Nigerian scams have existed for over a century, evolving from physical letters to sophisticated digital operations. Today, scammers run romance scams, fake inheritance schemes, and business email fraud to steal millions from victims worldwide. Disective provides dedicated Nigerian Scam Recovery Services, helping individuals and businesses trace fraudulent transactions and take the right steps to recover their lost funds. Our forensic and legal team works methodically to build your case and pursue every avenue of recovery available to you.
Inheritance and advance-fee fraud continues to grow globally, affecting thousands of victims each year across multiple continents. Understanding the scale helps victims recognise they are not alone — and that recovery is possible.
If you’ve received an unexpected inheritance offer or believe you’ve been scammed, here are the answers to the most common questions we receive.
An advance-fee scam tricks you into paying upfront fees — presented as taxes, legal costs, or bank charges — in exchange for a promised inheritance that never materialises. Scammers build elaborate stories and use fake documents to make it feel real.
Common signs include unsolicited contact from a stranger claiming to share your surname, requests for upfront payments or personal ID, and promises of large sums in exchange for small fees. If it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is.
Yes — in many cases, funds can be traced and partially or fully recovered, especially when action is taken quickly. Our team reviews your case, gathers evidence, and guides you through every step of the recovery process at no upfront cost.
