Investment scam · $1,160,000

"It's more than just trust for us. You've confirmed that there are industry leaders of exemplary character, and you've given us hope, which is priceless."

James H. · Georgia · Testimonial provided via email
Investment fraud

"My assets were small compared to the $5.6 million recovered by this company. However, I knew they worked as hard for me as for the companies that lost a large amount."

Maria · Tennessee · References the $5.6M freeze by name
Sophisticated cryptocurrency scam

"While my recovery is still ongoing the results to date have been very encouraging and includes bi-weekly reporting keeping me informed step by step."

Cliff B. · Georgia · Filed with FBI and Interpol before Van Orton
Behind the case: While discussing his case with a personal contact at the FBI, Cliff was told it would be better to go through Van Orton Recovery than to rely solely on a law enforcement-led investigation.
Romance scam · lifetime savings lost

"No sugar coating, no false promises. They are focused on doing their research and delivering what they said they will."

Vanessa · United States · Defrauded by a fake recovery service first
Behind the case: Being defrauded a second time by a fake recovery service before finding us is not uncommon. Secondary scammers actively target fraud victims using information bought from the original scammers.
Cryptocurrency scam · payment plan arranged

"Van Orton Recovery also gave us a payment plan that worked for us during this difficult time. I would recommend Van Orton Recovery for anybody going through a cryptocurrency scam. You need someone on your side that can speak for you."

Robert I. · United States
Behind the case: we froze the stolen funds, and a Klarna payment plan let Robert proceed with the recovery during a financially difficult time.
Asset recovery · $15,000 partial recovery

"Hiring them has given me great comfort. They are very knowledgeable. Very responsive. And they hold themselves to a very high ethical standard. A premium service for premium results."

Tjark H. · Florida · Active client at time of writing
Asset recovery · Trustpilot verified

"This company has been honest to deal with and very personal in explaining the process. If you need help with asset recovery, I would highly recommend Van Orton."

Jim · Virginia

Selected outcomes from anonymous clients

Published with client knowledge. Names and identifying details are withheld at client request.

DOJ civil action
In early 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil action in federal court arising from a fraud scheme we reported. FBI agents personally credited our work as instrumental in advancing the investigation.
$5.6M freeze
Over $5.6 million was frozen on 4 August 2025 in a single investigation, as a direct result of intelligence we shared with a U.S. financial institution. Funds are being distributed by the U.S. Marshals.
Account takeover reversed
Scammers opened an account at a major exchange using stolen ID, holding the client's funds. Our findings led to a rarely granted authorization to take over ownership of the fraudulent account.
Casino cooperation
We secured cooperation from a billion-dollar casino, banned in the U.S. and with no reason to help, to freeze stolen funds, on the strength of our investigative findings alone, with no court order required.
Scam site takedown
After a client reported being approached by a fraudulent recovery service, we had the service's websites taken down within hours of being made aware.
