Someone says they can recover my scam losses. Are they real?
Reviewed answer
Unexpected recovery offers often target people for a second scam.
- Stop contact with anyone promising guaranteed recovery or asking for fees, wallet secrets, or remote access.
- Continue through your bank, payment provider, and official law-enforcement reporting channels.
- Verify any claimed agency through its independently found official contact. In the US, report recovery scams at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

They know details of your earlier loss. Scammers trade victim information, so familiarity does not establish legitimacy.
