Arthur Blanc

Managing Partner · EU Bar · 12 years of practice in financial fraud recovery

I founded National Law Helpline so that recovery wouldn't rest on a single overworked lawyer, but on a dedicated team where each expert specializes in a specific type of fraud. Over 12 years of practice, we've helped hundreds of English-speaking clients across Europe recover money from fake brokers, crypto fraudsters, Tinder scammers, and the operators of Ponzi schemes.

Our team knows the internal procedures of European and international banks, crypto exchanges, and regulators inside out — including European regulators (ESMA, BaFin). We use Wire Recall mechanisms, Chargeback procedures, and EU law. Every recovery strategy passes rigorous internal review.

If there's no realistic chance of recovery, we'll tell you plainly at the first consultation. If there is a chance, we'll take the case on with no upfront fees. Submit your request and my team will contact you within the hour.

Beware: the second scam

Five signs the person promising to recover your money is a scammer

After the first loss, fake "recovery services" often appear to defraud the victim a second time. They hide behind the names of real law firms, post fabricated reviews, and promise a "98% success rate." Here's how to tell the scammers apart from a genuine law firm.

Asks for payment up front — a "withdrawal tax," a "regulator's fee," or a charge for "software."

The firm never takes on a case for an upfront fee. The fee is charged solely against the amount successfully recovered (a contingency fee), and only if the case passes internal review.

Guarantees a "98–100% recovery rate" — a success rate no court could match.

Real lawyers never make unrealistic promises. We run a rigorous legal review and decline the case if there are no lawful means to pursue it. A 100% guarantee is the single clearest sign of a scam.

Communicates only over WhatsApp with a "manager," without a single signed document.

We work only under a formal engagement letter and NDA. All communication with the team is protected by attorney-client privilege.

No verifiable license — an anonymous "team of experts" with not one name in any register.

We operate as a law firm officially registered in the EU. We have a real office in Vienna, Austria, transparent company details, and full legal accountability under EU law.

Impersonates a real law firm and posts "reviews" where clients recite the brand name word for word.

A real office in Vienna, Austria and a verifiable track record. Our case studies show real amounts and countries; only the names are changed to protect confidentiality.

No. 01 · Berlin Crypto Exchange Scam
€112,000
of €145,000 · in 4 months
Recovered 77%

A fake crypto exchange stole €145,000 from a Berlin engineer

The Situation

The client bought Bitcoin on Coinbase and transferred it to a platform promising a "trading bot with 30% monthly returns." When he tried to withdraw, his account was frozen and he was told to pay a "profit tax."

What the Firm Did

Our specialists traced the funds on-chain to cold wallets. Court subpoenas produced records from Coinbase and the intermediary exchanges. Under AML-compliance pressure, part of the assets were frozen and recovered.

No. 02 · Vienna Offshore Broker
€68,000
of €82,000 · in 6 weeks
Recovered 83%

A Vienna retiree and an offshore "broker" with make-believe profits

The Situation

The client, 71, got a call from an "investment advisor." Over three months, the advisor persuaded him to send €82,000 by wire transfer to an offshore brokerage. His dashboard showed "growing" profits — but every withdrawal request was refused.

What the Firm Did

Our lawyers built the evidence and initiated a Wire Recall through the sending bank. In parallel, complaints were filed with Europol and the national financial regulator. The bank returned part of the funds without going to court.

No. 03 · Madrid Romance Scam
€50,000
of €65,000 · in 5 months
Recovered 77%

A Tinder match that cost the client €65,000

The Situation

The client, from Madrid, spent six months chatting on Tinder with an "officer on deployment." When "his mother had a stroke," he asked her to cover the surgery. Seven bank transfers followed — €65,000 in all. After the last one, he deleted his profile.

What the Firm Did

The team proved the bank was negligent: seven large transfers to an unknown recipient are a textbook sign of romance fraud that the bank was obliged to flag and halt. As a result, the bank reimbursed part of the amount without going to court.

No. 04 · Milan Payment Details Swapped Largest Recovery
€186,000
of €210,000 · in 3 weeks
Recovered 89%

Hackers swapped the wiring details on a home purchase — €210,000 went to the wrong account

The Situation

A day before closing on a home in Milan, hackers broke into the law firm's email and, posing as the firm, sent "updated" wiring details. The client wired €210,000 to the fraudsters' account instead of the real escrow agent.

What the Firm Did

Within the critical first 24 hours, the team launched a wire recall through the sending bank and brought in the receiving bank's investigations unit and Europol. Most of the funds were frozen and returned to the client before any court proceedings.

Across these cases, recoveries ranged from 77% to 89% of the amount lost. Every case is unique and the firm makes no guarantees — but wherever a lawful path to recovery exists, the team pursues it to the fullest.

FAQ

What to know before your consultation

Seven honest answers to the questions that matter most.

Review My Case

Do you offer a 100% recovery guarantee?

No. Anyone who guarantees a 100% outcome in legal matters is a fraud. What our firm guarantees is an honest legal review: we take a case on only when there's a genuine chance of recovery. Our fee is charged strictly once the funds reach your account.

How much do your services cost?

The initial legal review is part of our case-selection process. The firm charges no upfront fees and works on a contingency-fee (success-fee) basis: our payment is a fixed, agreed-upon percentage of the amount actually recovered. We take on only the cases where we see a genuine legal path forward.

How long does the process take?

Timelines depend on the complexity of the case (typically 2 to 12 months). Standard chargeback or wire recall procedures can take 2–4 weeks. Complex investigations (blockchain forensics, litigation) run 6–12 months. Your odds of freezing the assets depend directly on how quickly you act after the transfer.

I live in another EU country. Will you take my case?

Yes. Financial fraud is a cross-border crime. We work with English-speaking clients across the EU and EEA. What determines jurisdiction isn't your city but the path the money took through banks and platforms — and that's where EU and international law apply.

The bank and police already said no. Is it still worth reaching out?

Yes. The police pursue criminals, not the recovery of your assets. Banks often auto-reject claims that are filed without a proper legal basis. Our specialists work through bank compliance channels and know exactly which regulatory grounds (an unauthorized-transfer claim, a formal chargeback dispute) obligate a bank to initiate a return.

I paid in cryptocurrency. Isn't that impossible to trace?

That's a myth. The blockchain is fully transparent. Using professional blockchain-forensics software and issuing subpoenas to regulated exchanges (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken), our experts trace the fraudsters' end wallets so the assets can be frozen.

How do I know you're not just another scam?

Fake recovery services always demand upfront payments disguised as taxes or fees. Our firm works with no hidden upfront charges. The good-standing status of the firm's founder, attorney Arthur Blanc, can be verified publicly on the official EU Bar website. Every engagement begins with a signed NDA that legally guarantees full confidentiality.
