Seeking Legal Help for Online Fraud: Pathways to Compensation?

I’m hoping to get some advice on a pressing issue. I’ve recently encountered a complex legal problem that originated entirely online. The nature of the issue involves a sophisticated online scam where a fraudulent investment platform, operating entirely through social media and encrypted messaging apps, conned me out of a significant sum of money. The platform has since vanished, and I have very little identifying information about the perpetrators beyond their online handles. It’s left me feeling quite overwhelmed and unsure of the best course of action.

My main question is: What kind of legal help is available for issues that primarily occur in the digital realm, especially when the perpetrators are anonymous or located internationally? I’m particularly interested in understanding the pathways for pursuing compensation claims in such a scenario, given the difficulty in identifying and locating the responsible parties.

Any insights on navigating this relatively new legal landscape, including resources, precedents, or even general advice on how to gather evidence for online issues, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your guidance!
