About Us - Ifpsecurity

Around the clock, around the world

We deliver unique services that are not available anywhere else on the market. Law enforcement agencies are often to restricted in their efforts to pinpoint the location of suspect and their illegal operations. ifpsecurity has built an alert and focused company culture that ensures every case is handled with a high degree of urgency and sensitivity.

Investigations, Intelligence and Asset Recovery.

Our head office is located in Australia with a fully staffed operation and monitoring centre in the heart of Asia.

Understanding the internal structures of such groups requires in-depth investigative work. Regardless of what the end result might be or how simple it may sound, shutting down an illegal peer network, removing counterfeits from the market or successfully recovering assets lost from fraud always requires a substantial buildup of evidence necessary to turn the results of investigations into actionable intelligence. Each case requires an individual approach, while “fit-all solutions” are simply unable to deliver the desired outcome.

This is why ifpsecurity offers its clients a methodical process – a set of established actions that follow a systematic and meticulous procedure – rather than a predetermined product. This approach has proven successful throughout ifpsecurity history and allows easy adaptability – each element of the process is constantly adjusted to the situation.

  • Where to go

    Victims of scam believe they need the help of a solicitor, lawyer or police for digital scam recovery assistance. Unfortunately, these addresses will not be able to assist in getting your funds back in the case of a digital asset loss. The correct address for recovering your funds is a special department with the issuer called the "chargeback" department. The fund recovery process starts there.

  • What to do

    Victims often mistakenly tell their issuer that they are a victim of fraud. If an issuer starts chargeback under the fraud category, it is an error that will probably result in a loss chargeback. There are various chargeback rights and the correct type of case needs to be built for your situation in order for a chargeback to be raised and won. We protect the interests of our clients and ensure they get the best possible solution.

  • How to do it

    Anyone can start a chargeback with their issuer, but an issuer’s chargeback department’s sole purpose is to either approve or deny a chargeback claim based on their understanding which is often uninformed or wrong. The issuer is not vested in your success. They need to move papers. Global Automatic Scam Refund Services is interested in your success. We build an ironclad chargeback case and fight till the end to ensure you get your funds back. Recover your money now!
