“After the Scam, a Fake ‘Recovery Agent’ Found Me. Seamus Stopped the Second Hit”

Client Testimonial
After I lost money to a trading scam, someone called claiming they could get it back — for a fee. I almost paid again. Seamus stopped me on the phone, explained that the ‘recovery agent’ was a second scam, and then actually recovered part of what I had already lost. He saved me twice.
— Joanne, Phoenix, AZSecond scam prevented · $8,900 in fees recovered

Joanne is the reason I say this everywhere: a genuine investigator never asks you to pay a fee up front to receive your own money. The ‘refund agent’ who contacts you after a loss is almost always the same crew, or one that bought your details. We stopped the next payment cold and clawed back most of the fees she had already sent.

No Recovery Guarantees

Outcomes depend on blockchain finality, jurisdiction, and third-party cooperation. Anyone promising instant, guaranteed recovery up-front, in crypto, without written terms — should be treated as a follow-up scam.
