Be aware of Recovery scams! And pls avoid them.

All the investment scams out there show a very similar path: After having felt as a rich man/woman by seeing the life savings growing at a amazing growth rate, the reality in realizing that all was just a tricky fraud is devastating for the victims.  In this period of realizing that everything is lost[1], the victims  vibrantly try to find someone for help to get their money back and very often they fall victim to the next fraud: recovery scams!

Show up of recovery organizations:

As soon as  it gets obvious that nothing more can be “earned” from a registrant, the customer data is sold to other operators of fraudulent online trading platforms or to so-called funds recovery organizations. This is the beginning of a new journey of  harassment of the victims by email and telephone. Countless spam emails and callers from all over the world continue to harass the victims for months.

The recovery organizations promise to get the money back in exchange for a considerable down payment. But in 99,9% of the cases this does not work out – and pls do not think that you belong to the 0.05 % success case. Very often these recovery organizations are owned by the same fraudsters as the trading platforms and are working hand in hand with them. 

As far back as 2016, the United States Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued ‘Investor Alerts’ urging investors and fraud victims to think carefully before paying money for asset recovery services that may prove fruitless. In the United Kingdom, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on 12/12/2019 published a warning on their website concerning Pay Back Ltd also a recovering service proving fruitless.
