Ever wondered who investigates scam websites? Cybercriminals keep raising the stakes, always on the lookout for fresh tactics to steal money online and find their next target. This problem has become an ongoing global phenomenon that shows no sign of slowing down. Whether it’s creating entirely fake investment websites or impersonating trusted brands, these scammers are skilled at building professional-looking websites that can fool even savvy internet users into thinking they are genuine.
If you have fallen victim to one of these scam websites, you might be wondering, who actually investigates these kinds of websites? The answer is simple…we do.
Cybertrace: Pioneers in Forensic Website Investigation
Cybertrace has been at the forefront of website forensic investigation since 2015, assisting a range of clients to uncover the masterminds behind numerous scam networks. Our team of investigators combines a unique mix of investigative expertise and technical know-how, making us a top choice for examining scam websites.
Our investigators have a remarkable ability to think beyond the technical nature of the anatomy of scam websites. They are skilled at following even the most subtle leads across multiple platforms and domains, constantly cross-referencing information to expose hidden gaps in the scammers’ tactics. It only takes one small mistake from these scammers and our team will find it.
With years of experience, our investigators know how to spot the recurring signs of a fraudulent website. By recognising these patterns, Cybertrace can often determine where the fraudsters are likely to be based and understand their methods. This expertise also enables Cybertrace to connect new scams to existing criminal networks.

How Forensic Website Investigation Works
At its core, forensic website investigation is all about taking a scam website apart, piece by piece, to find the people or criminal syndicate behind them. Our team will look into technical records, such as hosting IP addresses, mail servers, and domain records, in search of any clues that will link the website to entities or even to a network of fraudulent websites.
But our investigation doesn’t end there. We go beyond the surface, diving deep into corporate databases and even social media accounts for additional connections. If the website is known in the industry, we also collaborate with our partners to gather more information.
As industry leaders, we have built years of intelligence surrounding the world of scam websites. By matching intelligence from our sources, we can often trace a fake website back to a known criminal syndicate or connect it to previously identified offenders. This powerful resource is a key factor in our ability to track down and expose scammers on a global scale.
Transparency In Our Process
However, it is important for us to be upfront with you. We understand how devastating it can be to be scammed, and we know how tempting it can be to want a quick solution. But we are committed to being transparent about what we can and can’t achieve. If the scam website is very new, or if it has not yet established much of an online presence, there may be limitations to how much information we will uncover. In these cases, we might not be able to identify the scammers as thoroughly as we would with more established websites.
We want to assure you that honesty is at the core of our service. If the investigation uncovers limited information or we are unable to gather sufficient intelligence, we will tell you straight away. Our goal is to provide you with realistic expectations and the truth every step of the way.
We won’t offer false hope or make promises that we can’t keep. Instead, we will work with you to explain exactly what we have found, what that means, and how you can proceed. Our goal is always to set realistic expectations and be open about the challenges that come with investigating scam websites.
