Alderstone Law Firm Facebook ad: what does “98% success” mean?
Checked by The Proofmark editorial team against our methodology before publishing
The Proofmark · Our methodology
An advertisement dressed like a news report
The saved creative shows a woman presented as a lawyer, the Brandenburg Gate and a news-style banner about online fraud in Germany. It is advertising evidence, not proof of an independent television report or of the person's professional status.
Meta listed ad ID 1818330932637069, with a start date of 31 October. The active status was observed on 3 November; it can change. A country filter in the library does not prove the advert's complete targeting.
Original advertiser creative, saved from Meta Ad Library on 3 November 2026. German text is preserved as evidence.
The missing denominator behind 98%
Before relying on that percentage, ask what counts as success: accepting a case, locating a transaction, winning a decision or actually returning money to the customer. Ask for the period, number of cases, exclusions and net amount after fees. A percentage without those details cannot predict your chances.
The copy also refers to international authorities and AI tracing. Tracing a payment does not itself freeze an account, compel a bank to reverse a transfer or return crypto. Any claimed official relationship needs separate evidence.
Which firm would take your case?
The advert uses the name Alderstone. A genuine UK practice called Alderstone Solicitors appears in the SRA register under Aldsol Limited, number 8000785. The similarity of names does not establish any connection to this advert. Do not treat that registration as the advertiser's licence.
Before signing, obtain the exact legal entity, jurisdiction, professional registration, written scope of work, fees and complaints route. Confirm the details through the relevant register using independently found contact information. A Facebook page or a lead form is not that confirmation.
If you already sent documents or money
Save the page name, creative, contact addresses, agreement and payment recipient. Tell your bank promptly if you suspect a second fraud. If you shared account passwords, change them through the genuine service and end any remote access you granted. Do not send wallet seed words or pay a supposed tax to release recovered funds.
Our recovery-service checklist explains the checks. If you contacted this advertiser and need help sorting the original loss from the new offer, request a free telephone consultation. We can explain practical next steps without promising recovery.
