We are a Polish law firm specializing in business protection in the field of online fraud and scams. We uniquely in the country have over 10 years of experience, in proceedings involving the prosecution of fraudulent crimes on the basis of false invoices or false bank accounts. We conduct cases throughout the country, both before the police and the prosecutor's office, as well as banks and institutions supervising the activities of banks. Our priority is to act quickly to block bank accounts and recover money transferred there.
If you have established cooperation with a person claiming to be a company in Poland, who
offered very favorable terms of sale, and after transferring the money, did not send the goods and
stopped responding, it is very likely that you have been cheated. Fraudsters often set up
companies in Poland in order to extort or impersonate existing companies and conclude fake
contracts on their behalf. Fighting this practice requires knowledge and experience. Our lawyers
have many years of practice and successfully represent clients by recovering the transferred
money.
Organized crime groups often deal with Internet crimes and scams. Even if the money has been
transferred to a bank account located in Poland, it does not mean that Poland is always the
destination country. These types of groups often make multiple transfers to bank accounts in
different countries to cover their tracks and make it difficult to recover funds. For this reason, it
is very important to act quickly to block bank accounts while there are still funds on them.
Remember that banks are obligated to take action on their own if they have doubts as to the legality of operations on a bank account. Hence, if the bank failed to block funds despite having sufficient information about their criminal source, it is possible to claim damages from the bank. It is also possible to claim compensation from persons to whom the account is registered and who order transfers.

Advocate
Polish banks do not verify the addressee's name when verifying transfers coming to Poland. The transfer to Poland will be sent to the destination account in Poland, even if the account owner is someone other than the one indicated in the bank transfer. This is used by fraudsters who provide wrong bank account numbers in Poland in their forged invoices. The scammer's method is that they indicate the real details of the company on the invoice, but a bank account belonging to another person. Instead, the transfer goes to the fraudster. Therefore, in the first place, it is necessary to verify who is the owner of the account in Poland to which the incorrect transfer to Poland was made.
Fraudsters work in different ways. It is common to impersonate a Polish company to extort money. In such a situation, usually the addressee receives a forged invoice with real data of a Polish company, but with a false account number. The account in Poland is registered to another person. The money goes to the Polish account, even though the addressee is different. Scammers claiming to be a Polish company usually offer good transaction conditions and a low price of the goods to tempt the victim to make a transfer to the fraudsters' account. Recovering money transferred to Poland requires immediate action.
Recovering money from the fraudsters' account is possible, but quick action is required. The procedures in force in Poland and in the European Union require banks to block suspicious transactions. The fraudsters often have many bank accounts in Poland and other countries and transfer the stolen money to these accounts to make it difficult to recover the money. However, it is often possible to block money in a scammer's bank account and prevent further transfers.
Fraudsters usually have standard operating methods. They use similar schemas and document templates. As lawyers who have been operating in similar cases for many years, we are most often able to accurately determine whether a given transaction is real or is aimed at extorting money. If you are in doubt as to whether you have been scammed, please send us a copy of the documents.
The most important thing is to act quickly. In the first place, our goal is to block the bank account in Poland to which the fraudulent money has been sent. This can be done either by the bank and the banking services supervising the banks, or by the public prosecutor's office. It is important to notify the police quickly and file a report of the offense. Next, the perpetrators of the crime are identified. It often happens that the actual beneficiaries of crimes are outside Poland, but in such a situation in Poland most often there is a person - the owner of the bank account to which the transfer was made. Criminal proceedings may take up to several years, but if the money in the account is secured in advance, it is possible to recover it.
Some cases require non-standard action. We work with a detective agency that has extensive experience in determining assets and recovering debts. We also successfully carry out court and bailiff debt collection. In the event that the money cannot be blocked on bank accounts, actions may be taken against the owner of the bank account and against banks, if they have not complied with the obligation to secure the account.
Banks in Poland are obliged to comply with European Union regulations, which in certain situations order to block suspicious transfers or bank accounts if there is a suspicion that they are used for crimes. If the bank fails to do so and does not block the account, you can claim compensation for the damage it causes. We help our clients in this type of proceedings both at the stage of pre-trial negotiations and representing them in court.
Blocking the account is only possible by the bank or the police or supervisory authorities. As a rule, it is possible, but it is necessary to act quickly and professionally.
I recommend FGGK Law firm as a stable and dependable law partner.
