Wire transfer fraud recovery support

Sent a transfer to the wrong account?Build your recovery path.

Keep the email trail, payment instructions, and transfer confirmation. TraceVanta helps turn those records into a clearer route for recovery action.

What this can look like

A real payment request that took an unexpected turn.

People often contact us after an invoice email contains unfamiliar bank details, a supplier's account appears to have changed, or someone they believed was trusted asked for a transfer urgently.

Keep the original email chain, attachments, invoice version, transfer receipt, beneficiary details, dates, and names involved. Avoid deleting messages or editing screenshots.
