Cybertrace is issuing an urgent cyber fraud alert about the ruthless OneStopRecoverySolution scam operation. Using aggressive sales tactics and a professional-looking website (https://onestoprecoverysolution.com/), these crooks are trying to steal previous scam victims’ remaining funds. Furthermore, our investigators have linked them to the SkyActiveRecoverySolution scam, another asset recovery scam operating from https://skyactiverecoverysolution.com/.

Don’t get sucked in by these scammers and their lies about activating cold crypto wallets or mirror transactions! To them, it’s all just another means of robbing you of your hard-earned cash. And if they have already stolen your funds, don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed – get even! Contact Cybertrace today to find out how we can help you identify the scammers, so you can start getting your money back. But first, let’s find out how the scammers run their operation.
How Does the OneStopRecoverySolution Scam Work?
Unfortunately, the OneStopRecoverySolution scam and others like it follow the classic recovery scam playbook. First, they miraculously contact victims of previous scams out of the blue to offer them their fake “services”. Referring potential targets to their fake professional-looking website gives them the appearance that they’re real. Next, they claim to have “recovered” funds but need their “client” to set up a crypto wallet to receive them. Third, they ask victims to “activate” or “liquidate” a cold crypto wallet by sending their own funds to it. Often, they will do this by first depositing what look like real, but are unfortunately fake, crypto tokens as bait. Alternatively, they insist on using screen sharing when victims set up new crypto wallets in order to access their seed phrase and hence gain illicit access to their funds. Finally, they’ll string victims along until they’re all out of money.
How Do You Know OneStopRecoverySolution is a Scam?
While Cybertrace’s investigators have access to cutting-edge digital tools and vast investigative experience, there’re red flags everyone can look for. Below are some tell-tale warning signs of the OneStopRecoverySolution scam:
#1 No License or Registration
One of the first things to look for with any asset recovery operator is whether (and where) they are licensed and registered. Licensing and registration usually come with a strong regulatory framework, governmental oversight, and consumer protection. In its absence, dodgy operators and criminal outfits alike can make outlandish lies with no-one holding them to account. When it comes to the OneStopRecoverySolution scam operation, they variously claim to be registered in Belgium or Florida, USA. However, in neither of these places are there any records of incorporation. Similarly, the scam website claims to be associate members of banking/financial services associations in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Needless to say, as the respective publicly available membership databases shows, none of these claims are true. By contrast, reputable cyber fraud investigators like Cybertrace will provide you with accurate and independently verifiable registration and licensing details.
#2 Negative Reviews by Scam Victims
Authentic independent customer reviews can be an important source of information about the quality of a product or service. While scammers try to manipulate their ratings by flooding review sites with fake positive reviews, negative reviews by scam victims detailing how the scam operates are invaluable. When looking at independent review sites such as Trustpilot and Sitejabber, negative reviews share their experiences of the OneStopRecoverySolution scam. Having said that, it is important to treat all reviews with a grain of salt. In fact, fraudsters even try to impersonate scam victims on review sites to malign genuine fraud investigators as scammers! By contrast, Cybertrace’s genuine, authentic and glowing customer reviews give you confidence in the quality of our work.
#3 Contacting Scam Victims Directly
Asset recovery outfits contacting scam victims out of the blue is a huge red flag! For one, unsolicited contact via email, phone, social media, or text message is not something serious cyber fraud investigators do. Instead, genuine companies typically operate on a referral basis, or clients seek them out online and get in touch. Cold-calling, like in the OneStopRecoverySolution scam, is the hallmark of desperados, dodgy outfits, and dirty scammers! Secondly, how do you suppose those crooks know that you’re already a victim of a scam? If they contact you after you’ve lost money to scammers, it’s highly likely that they’re the very same criminals. Alternatively, they might have bought your personal details off the original scammers as these crooks trade information about potential victims. Either way, avoid recovery outfits that contact you directly. Instead, do your research and go with genuine and professional cyber fraud investigators such as Cybertrace.
#4 High-Pressure Sales Tactics
Following on from the previous tell-tale sign, high-pressure sales tactics following unsolicited contact are another massive warning. Whenever someone tries to manipulate you into make decisions quickly out of fear, guilt, or greed, hang up immediately. OneStopRecoverySolution scam artists are professional criminals who are using well-known pressure and manipulation tactics to extract payments or personal information. By contrast, legitimate recovery companies provide you with all the necessary information and give you time to make informed decisions. Indeed, genuine cyber fraud investigators like Cybertrace will never pressure or rush you to take immediate action.
#5 Bogus Claims
The final sign that the OneStopRecoverySolution scam outfit is trying to steal your money lies in their wallet instructions. Usually, they will have presented you with some “recovered” funds that are just waiting for you to claim them. However, the scammers state that you first need to “activate/liquidate” the “cold” wallet by transferring your own funds into it. Unfortunately, this is simply another iteration of the well-known mirror transaction fraud. They might even repeat this procedure a few times, claiming it hasn’t worked, or invent other upfront “fees” to pay. Sadly, there is no money waiting for you. At best, they have deposited inaccessible/worthless fake crypto tokens there as bait. At worst, they simply continue syphoning off your deposits one by one until you cotton onto them or go broke. It’s a good reminder that serious cyber fraud investigators or recovery companies like Cybertrace would never conduct payments in cryptocurrencies.
Another example of bogus claims by the OneStopRecoverySolution scam outfit are their supposed team profiles. Interestingly, none of their high-powered executives have a presence on LinkedIn and neither does the company itself. That’s because they’re all fake, including their alleged VP of Global Operations, George McArthur. In fact, the scammers simply stolen the LinkedIn profile pic of a French realtor and made up a fake bio. In summary, their flagrant disregard for the truth means that these scammers cannot be trusted.
