Is cftrace legitimate? Here is how to check for yourself

Do not take our word for it. Every claim we make about who we are can be checked against the public UK register in about two minutes.

Written and reviewed by the compliance deskTRACE AI INVESTIGATIONS LTD · company no. 16828440Last reviewed 25 August 2026

Why we wrote this

Anyone offering to help people recover money lost to fraud should expect to be questioned. We would rather hand you the checks than ask for trust.

Recovery is also a sector that attracts impostors. People clone real firms, copy websites, and message victims out of the blue. The best defence you have is verification you can do yourself, without relying on anything we say.

Check us on the public register

cftrace is operated by a company registered in the United Kingdom.

  • Company number: 16828440
  • Director: Gordon Thomas Buckland

Search that company number on the Companies House register. The record is public, free to view, and cannot be edited by us. It shows the incorporation date, registered office and the director on file. If a website claiming to be us shows a different number or a different director, it is not us.

Check the domain

Our only website is cftrace.com. Every member of our team writes from an @cf-trace.com address. We do not run recovery through personal Gmail accounts, we do not cold-call victims, and we never contact you first on Telegram.

Check how we ask to be paid

We publish our pricing before you engage us. Every cost is agreed in writing first, and there are no hidden fees added later. If anything you are told about payment does not match what is written on this site, stop and contact us directly through the site.

What we do not do

  • We do not guarantee recovery. Nobody honest can.
  • We do not ask for your wallet seed phrase or private keys. Ever.
  • We do not ask for remote access to your computer.
  • We do not promise a court outcome or an exchange decision before it happens.

If you are still unsure

Ask us for the checks. A real firm will help you verify it; a fake one will rush you. You can also request to speak to a past client. With their consent, we can put you in touch with people whose files have been closed.

Talk to the desk

If any part of this applies to you, the first conversation costs nothing and every cost after it is agreed in writing first.
