Phoenix Solicitors Successfully Recovers Over £635,000 for Fraud Victims
Financial scams are evolving rapidly, and unfortunately, many individuals are deceived by fraudulent schemes that claim to offer high returns with little to no risk.
One such case involved MAHF Trading Limited, a Nottingham-based company that deceived local investors and stole hundreds of thousands of pounds. Thanks to the intervention of Phoenix Solicitors, several victims successfully recovered their lost funds.
The MAHF Trading Limited Scam
The scammers behind MAHF Trading Limited posed as professional investors, setting up face-to-face meetings with potential victims. They built trust within the community by promising lucrative returns with little to no risk. As word spread, more people were drawn in, often referring family and friends to what they believed was a legitimate investment opportunity.
To maintain their deception, the fraudsters provided fake documents, including:
- investment breakdowns,
- share allocations, and even sophisticated forecasting tools to track supposed profits.
To further solidify their credibility, they obtained an office address and registered it with Companies House, allowing investors to visit the premises.
They were also seen in the local area driving expensive cars, reinforcing the illusion of financial success.
However, the scheme began to unravel when investors experienced delays and refusals when requesting withdrawals. Suspicions grew until August 2024, when the police intervened and arrested the scammers.
Investigations later revealed that none of the investors’ funds were ever used for legitimate investments.
How Phoenix Solicitors Helped The Victims Recover Their Funds
After the scam was exposed, Phoenix Solicitors were contacted by five victims seeking legal assistance.
One of the victims successfully recovered his money without legal intervention. However, the remaining victims required expert legal support to retrieve their stolen funds.
Phoenix Solicitors took action by lodging formal complaints with the victims’ banks. Our Scam and Fraud legal team:
- Compiled comprehensive evidence, including police reports and correspondence with the scammers.
- Drafted persuasive legal arguments referencing relevant financial regulations and ombudsman decisions.
- Maintained direct communication with the banks throughout the investigation, ensuring all queries were addressed effectively.
As a result of our swift and strategic approach, our team at Phoenix Solicitors secured full refunds for all of our clients, amounting to over £635,000.00.
Timeline of the Case Leading to a Swift Resolution
The victims reached out to us in September 2024, and by January 2025, all claims had been successfully resolved. This four-month turnaround provided much-needed relief to those affected, allowing them to rebuild their lives.
