When an invoice, website or chat names a company, pull registry filings in that jurisdiction before relying on the branding. Many fraud entities invent plausible corporate names.
Save PDFs of search results, officer lists and registered addresses with retrieval timestamps. If no company exists, that negative result is itself evidence of deception.
For real companies that received funds, filings supply service addresses and officer names. Those details can support potential claims or disclosure targeting.
Repeat pulls if the matter spans months. Officer changes and dissolutions can alter enforcement and service strategy.
