Smear campaigns don’t happen by accident. They’re carefully planned, executed with precision, and backed by people who don’t want the truth to come out. IFW Global has been targeted by one such campaign—a calculated effort to discredit our investigations into financial crime.
This isn’t speculation. It’s a fact. Our cyber intelligence team has uncovered the exact network behind this attack.
The Fake SEO Firm at the Center of It All
The name Kirik.pro may not mean much to the average person, but in the world of online reputation manipulation, it’s well-known. This Ukraine-based SEO firm specialises in posting fake news articles, manipulating search engine rankings, and filing fraudulent takedown requests to control online narratives.
Kirik.pro’s client? A network of fraudsters exposed by IFW Global.
- Crypto criminals, investment scammers, and cyber fraud rings—all groups that have lost money and power because of IFW’s investigations.
- Over 125 fraudulent DMCA takedown requests were traced back to Kirik.pro and a single customer email: bruntonsteve0@gmail.com.
- Crypto wallet transactions link the payments for this defamation campaign to offshore scam operators.
In short, the people attacking IFW are the very criminals we’ve been exposing.
How This Scam Works
This isn’t just about negative press. It’s about erasing the truth and replacing it with lies. Here’s how they’re doing it:
- SEO Manipulation – Fake articles, guest blog posts, and keyword stuffing push misleading information to the top of Google searches.
- Fake Copyright Claims – False DMCA complaints remove IFW’s reports from search engines, making it harder for victims to find reliable fraud investigation services.
- Paid Reputation Attacks – They’re flooding forums and review sites with fabricated complaints to damage IFW’s credibility.
This is how organised crime operates in the digital age. They don’t just steal money—they manipulate information to protect their scams.
Why They Want IFW Gone
IFW Global has exposed millions in fraudulent activity. Our work has led to the dismantling of scam networks, the filing of lawsuits, and the reclaiming of stolen assets by victims. These criminals know that as long as IFW exists, they can’t operate without risk.
That’s why they’re trying to take IFW down. But it won’t work.
If you come across negative claims about IFW, look deeper. Who benefits from discrediting a company that fights financial crime? The answer is clear.
