'We recover your lost money' — for an upfront fee
Weeks after a scam a 'fund recovery firm' or 'chain analyst' gets in touch. For an upfront fee they will get your money back. Usually it is the same group, reselling victim lists.
Warning signs
- Unsolicited contact after a scam
- Guaranteed success plus an upfront fee
- No real firm address, chat only
What to do
Pay nothing. Legitimate help goes through your bank, a police report and, if needed, a verifiable law firm.
