We reviewed the linked sources and keep this page updated when the record changes. Use the source list below to verify the details.
Short answer
Do not pay or share sensitive evidence until you have independently verified who the service is, how it is contacted, and what it can actually prove. A real website, badge, case ID, or government-style branding is not enough on its own. Treat upfront fees, guaranteed recovery claims, requests for seed phrases or private keys, and remote-access requests as major red flags.
Context
Recovery scams often target people soon after a loss, when urgency and hope make pressure tactics more effective. The safest approach is to slow the conversation down and check the entity against official and independent records before you send anything that could help a scammer.
What changed today- Verification should come before payment, not after a “case review” or “trace” promise.
- Official-looking branding is still weak evidence if the business identity cannot be confirmed independently.
- You should treat any request for wallet credentials, seed phrases, or remote access as a stop sign.
Step-by-step guide
Check the legal or business name, not just the brand name. Match that name against the website, email domain, and any claimed organization details. If those pieces do not line up, pause.
2) Verify the contact pathAsk where the contact started and whether the service can be reached through an official, independently listed channel. If they found you first through a message, call, or unsolicited email, treat that as a warning sign until proven otherwise.
3) Test the claim, not the pitchRequest a written explanation of the service, fees, risks, and any no-guarantee language. Be skeptical of pressure to pay today or of promises that sound certain.
4) Limit what you shareShare only the minimum non-sensitive evidence at first. Do not send seed phrases, private keys, passwords, or remote-device access under any circumstance.
5) Search for warningsLook for official warnings, public alerts, or enforcement records tied to the name or domain. Do not rely on testimonials hosted by the service itself.
Table

| Contacted you first | Source of outreach | Often fits follow-on scams | Ignore unsolicited contact |
| Requests seed phrase/private key | Whether access is truly needed | Direct compromise risk | Stop contact immediately |
| Requests remote access | Why control is required | High theft risk | Do not install or allow access |
| Government-style branding | Legal identity and official status | Impersonation tactic | Verify through official channels |
| Case ID or badge only | Real organization behind it | Weak proof on its own | Demand independent records |
| Same-day payment pressure | Written terms and time to review | Classic urgency tactic | Refuse pressure |
| Crypto-only payment | Normal payment methods used | Harder to reverse | Treat as suspicious |
| No verifiable business identity | Registry, address, policies | Hard to hold accountable | Do not proceed |
