Types of Anonymous Fraud

• Impersonation resulting in catfishing and romance scams
• Business impersonation resulting in privacy violations or financial fraud
• False statements and defamation or business disparagement

Anonymous Fraud Investigations

Our internet fraud attorneys use an array of investigative processes and technologies to track and identify those who engage in anonymous internet fraud. We are also adept at leveraging the subpoena powers of state and federal courts to discover the server logs and other digital footprints of online perpetrators.

Unlike most traditional firms, we relish the challenge of investigating, identifying, and bringing those who engage in internet fraud to justice - often before they even know we are onto them. We utilize internet forensics capabilities to unmask different types of anonymous internet fraud campaigns related to defamation, revenge porn, or privacy concerns.

REPRESENTATIVE EXPERIENCE

• Represented a medical records imaging technology company in lawsuit against an unknown person who hacked into client’s network. Upon discovering that the hacker was a competitor, and that the competitor stole trade secrets and used them to compete with client, our firm amended the John Doe complaint to name the competitor as a defendant, leading to a complete win in the case and the criminal indictment of the defendant competitor.
• Represented the U.S. Chess Federation in a lawsuit involving unknown parties hacking into the email account of a member of the board of directors of our client, and stealing information regarding the internal investigation of two other directors of the organization (Susan Polgar and Paul Truong). After multiple rounds of subpoenas, the firm discovered that the person responsible for the hacking was an employee of Susan Polgar, which led to the criminal indictment of such employee and an eventual resolution of the case.
• Represented an international nonprofit organization in anonymous defamation matter, which also involved the theft and dissemination of the nonprofit’s trade secrets.
• Our internet fraud attorneys represented the true owner of domain name against an anonymous party who had hacked into our client’s domain registry account and stole a valuable domain name. Our firm prevailed on our claim for conversion of the domain name and obtained a court order requiring the registrar to transfer the domain name back to our client.
