We Exist Because
Scam Victims Deserve Justice
GOSRA was founded in 2020 by former MI5 financial crime intelligence officer Alexander Blackwood after he witnessed the devastating impact online scams have on victims and their families — and the lack of specialist support available to them.
Today, we are a fast-growing online scam recovery agency operating across 50+ countries with a team of former intelligence officers, forensic accountants, elite investigators, and expert witnesses who have collectively recovered over $78 million for scam victims.

Real Victims.
Real Recoveries.
“GOSRA recovered my entire retirement savings from a cryptocurrency scam when everyone else said it was impossible. They gave me my life back.”
“We lost $1.2M to a BEC scam and thought it was gone forever. GOSRA had the funds frozen within 72 hours and fully recovered within 4 months.”
“After being scammed out of my life savings in a romance scam, I felt utterly destroyed. GOSRA not only recovered my money — they helped me understand what happened and how to protect myself.”
“The expert witness testimony provided by Dr. Hartley was instrumental in our case against a fraudulent brokerage. The opposing counsel had no effective challenge to her analysis.”
“Our law firm has referred over 30 scam victim clients to GOSRA. Their recovery rate is exceptional and their professionalism is second to none.”
“From first consultation to final recovery, every interaction with GOSRA was seamless. They truly understand what scam victims go through and perform accordingly.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of online scams does GOSRA recover funds from?+
We recover funds from virtually every type of online scam, including investment and trading platform fraud, romance scams, cryptocurrency fraud, business email compromise (BEC), advance fee scams, fake e-commerce sites, online gambling scams, Ponzi and pyramid schemes, impersonation scams, and fake lottery or prize scams. Our team has recovered funds from scams originating in over 80 countries.
Is it really possible to recover money lost to an online scam?+
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. While online scammers use sophisticated methods to hide stolen funds, they ultimately must convert those funds into usable assets — and that conversion leaves traceable evidence. Our documented success rate on qualifying cases exceeds 98%, with over $2.8 billion recovered for scam victims worldwide. During your initial consultation, we will honestly assess your case and advise on the realistic recovery prospects.
How long does a typical scam recovery case take?+
Case duration varies based on complexity, jurisdiction, and the amount involved. Simple cases with cooperative banks may resolve in 4-8 weeks. Complex multi-jurisdictional cases involving cryptocurrency can take 6-18 months. During your initial consultation, we provide a tailored timeline based on the specifics of your situation.
Do you work on a no-recovery, no-fee basis?+
We offer no-recovery, no-fee arrangements on qualifying cases where there is a clear path to recovery and identifiable assets. This model ensures our interests are fully aligned with yours. For complex cases requiring significant multi-jurisdictional coordination, a hybrid fee structure may apply. All fees are explained transparently and agreed in writing before any work begins.
How do you ensure confidentiality?+
Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our practice. All cases are handled under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements. Our internal systems use bank-grade encryption (AES-256). Case information is shared strictly on a need-to-know basis. Our offices are physically secured with multi-factor access controls and 24/7 monitoring. We never disclose client names or case details in marketing materials without explicit written consent.
