Exposing the Connections

In the digital age, where scams are unfortunately frequent, the emergence of ‘scam recovery‘, or assets recovery services, was initially seen as a beacon of hope for victims. However, not all these services come with honest intentions. Recent investigations reveal a concerning trend where certain scam recovery websites are not only ineffective but are potentially linked to the scams they claim to fight against.

What Are Scam Recovery Services?

These are firms that claim to help recover funds for individuals who have been victims of scams, such as forex, binary options, or cryptocurrency frauds. They often promise to assist victims through legal means, asset tracking, and negotiation with the entities involved. Ideally, these services should provide a legitimate avenue for financial redress.

The Potential Link to Original Scams

What’s even more alarming is the potential link between these services and the original scams. There are instances where victims report that after losing money to a scam, they were approached by service providers that suspiciously knew details of their case. This suggests that the information was shared between the scam and the recovery service, possibly indicating collusion. As a legitimate scam investigation company, Cybertrace never contacts victims. We only speak with victims who have contacted us so be cautious of any company cold calling you and offering to assist with your case.

How to Identify and Avoid Fake Scam Recovery Services?

To protect yourself from falling victim to these exploitative practices, consider the following guidelines:

1. Research Thoroughly: Always check the credibility of a recovery service through independent reviews and verify their legal status.
2. Accountability: Most legitimate scam recovery companies are licensed investigators in their jurisdiction of operation. Check with the government regulating body for their jurisdiction to make sure they are licensed, experienced and legally accountable.
3. Seek Transparency: A trustworthy service will be transparent about their processes and provide a clear legal pathway for their services.
4. Check for Personalised Contact: Be wary of services that contact you out of the blue with specific information about your case.

The unfortunate reality is that not every company promising to recover lost funds is genuine. Many are intricately connected, possibly even to the very scams they claim to combat. It is crucial for consumers to remain vigilant, question the legitimacy of these services, and conduct comprehensive research before engaging with any service that offers to help recover lost funds.
