WE ARE HERE FOR YOU.TOGETHER WITH YOU.
AGAINST FRAUD, WITHOUT BORDERS.
The International Fraud Guard exists to provide prevention tools, guidance and free assistance to people who have suffered, or fear they may suffer, commercial, real estate and digital fraud, including in the international rental and private aviation markets.
Assistance is subject to case eligibility and available resources.
Four founding principles
Rules that do not depend on the individual case.
NO RECOVERY COMMISSION.
We take no percentage of any sums recovered.
FREE ASSISTANCE IN ACCEPTED CASES.
Access to guidance is free for accepted cases.
DONATIONS ALWAYS VOLUNTARY.
Supporting the association is never a condition for receiving help.
Assistance depends on case eligibility, available resources and the engagement of qualified professionals. No outcome, recovery or result is guaranteed.
Areas of work
Five sectors, one method: understanding before the damage is done.
Each sector has its own dynamics. We study recurring fraud mechanisms to provide practical guidance, document checks and clear next steps.
Real estate fraud
Purchases, investments, short-term lets and luxury villas.
Luxury car rental fraud
Supercars, deposits and unauthorised intermediaries.
Private jet charter fraud
Non-existent brokers, flights never operated, misleading empty legs.
International commercial fraud
False invoices, non-existent suppliers, redirected payments.
Crypto and digital transaction fraud
Wallets, blockchain, digital evidence and preliminary tracing.
Prevention
Verify before you pay
Before sending money to an intermediary, an alleged operator or a seller you do not know, run our guided check. Six questions, two minutes.
- Checking the counterparty's identity and registration
- Reviewing contracts, bank details and declared authorisations
- Clear guidance on what to do when something feels wrong
