Built by investigators. Trusted by victims.
Counter Initiatives is an independent counter-cybercrime firm founded in 2017. We have spent nearly a decade building one thing: the most disciplined, victim-first recovery practice in the industry.
Mission
To return stolen funds to the people they were taken from — and to make running a scam more expensive than running a legitimate business.
Vision
A digital economy where victims are not silenced by shame, and where recovery is a routine right, not a desperate hope.
Principles
Honesty over false hope. Discipline over theatrics. Confidentiality without compromise. We turn down cases we cannot win.
Senior investigators. No call-center handlers.
Every case is led by a named senior investigator with relevant sector experience. You will know who is on your case from the first call.
