How to Get Your Money Back from the Corinth Group
This practical guide outlines the steps available to individuals who have paid advance fees to Corinth Group entities and wish to recover their money.
Step 1: Preserve Evidence
Before taking any action, preserve all documentation: term sheets, engagement letters, invoices, bank transfer confirmations, emails, WhatsApp/text messages, meeting notes. Screenshot all digital communications. This evidence is essential for criminal complaints and civil recovery.
Step 2: Contact Your Bank
Notify your bank’s fraud department immediately. Provide the transaction details and explain this is a suspected advance-fee fraud. Banks may be able to initiate chargebacks or trace funds. Fraud insurance policies at some banks may cover these losses. The receiving bank is UBS Switzerland — contact UBS Compliance at +41 44 234 11 11 to report.
Step 3: File Criminal Complaints
File in every relevant jurisdiction:
- Switzerland: Strafanzeige with Staatsanwaltschaft Graubuenden (Art. 146 StGB — Betrug). Free to file.
- United Kingdom: Action Fraud report, UK Insolvency Service complaint, FCA complaint
- Your home country: National police fraud division
Step 4: Demand Refund Under Article 26
If your term sheet contains Article 26 (refund of fees if transaction does not proceed), send a formal demand letter via registered post to the entity’s registered address. Set a deadline of 14 days. If no response, this strengthens legal proceedings.
Step 5: Seek Legal Advice
A Swiss lawyer can advise on civil recovery proceedings. One known complainant recovered EUR 300,000 of EUR 400,000 through legal action. Legal costs vary but Swiss Strafanzeige filing is free.
Step 6: Coordinate
You are not alone. Thirty or more complainants have been identified across seven jurisdictions. Coordinated complaints dramatically increase the likelihood of regulatory and prosecutorial action. Contact the investigation team through this website.
