Sport Investment Fraud

Helpful support & resources for sportspeople and their legitimate advisors.

Sports investment fraud wrecks lives

Fraud in sports is a very real concern. Due to their high-net worth, professional sportsmen and women are all targets for criminals.

Often, unscrupulous advisors groom professional athletes for many years. So sportsmen and women can become victims of the people they trust the most. As a result, when the worst happens, it isn’t just financially devastating, but also emotionally distressing.

We are raising awareness of this issue to help prevent sport scams from happening in the first place. We have also created a range of handy resources to help victims of sport investment fraud recover emotionally and financially.

It’s time to fight back

Many sportsmen and sportswomen in England & Wales have been encouraged to invest in toxic or illegal investment schemes. Those affected could be owed hundreds of thousands of pounds (if not more).

Victims are facing losses ranging from a few thousand to millions of pounds. We are helping professional athletes who have fallen victim to financial scams get their money back.

A professional sportsperson might have been mis-sold or defrauded if:

  • They have lost a significant amount of money in an investment, even if they saw an initial profit.
  • They were persuaded to invest into high-risk and exotic investments such as overseas property, wine, commodities, cryptocurrency or unlisted shares, and have lost money or can’t access their investments.
  • They were targeted by unscrupulous professional advisors because of their high-net-worth.
  • The negligence of their financial advisor has (or could have) made them worse off in life.
  • Their advisers failed to explain the risk, fees, charges and details of any investments recommended.
