Fund Recovery Services.
Ultimately you decide to take the help of a fund recovery company or firm. And you are assured that your problem is solved, Right? No, you are not right. All funds recovery firms are not the same. Some recovery services firms are a scam by themselves. Even among those who are not scammers, they offer a different degree of service.
How you can avoid fund recovery scams?
The worst thing about a fund recovery scam is that their business model is built from zero level or ground level upwards to steal money from the scam victim. Just think, you are minding your business, undergoing tension, and frustrated with your investment decision. In which you have lost your life savings to a scam.
Tactics used by scammer
Someone knowledgeable of your case contacts you and promises that he will help you recover funds. Well, have you ever thought about how did the recovery service provider come to know you have been scammed? Along with your contact information and whom you lost money to? Well, he can be the original scammer who scammed you, or he might have “bought” the list which the scammer too had.
In yet another tactic the recovery service provider lays a trap for you. And then anticipate you to find them. They post talkback and fake reviews on many popular online sites and forums. The feedback is more or less similar.
One of the red flags of recovery scammers is they promise or better guarantee for full fund recovery. It is very wildly unrealistic to recover full lost fund. It is a difficult task to recover your stolen funds back. And in some disputes, even the scammers win. If someone is giving you a full guarantee that you will recover full money then it is surely a scam. You are paying for the non-existent services. The moment you pay the firm disappears.
Another red flag is their location. If they are located off-shore you should be extra careful. Do extra research on those firms. You should know where their headquarters is, their telephone number, their address. The banker, bank account number, where they are registered, etc.
