99% of recovery firms are also scams ran by the same scammers who initially stole your money. The money you wired, or crypto you sent, likely ended up in Cambodia, Laos or Myanmar and ultimately back into Mainland China. As you are probably aware, you cannot sue banks or companies in China and Cambodia/Laos/Myanmar are lawless countries so how a recovery company can get your money back is a mystery???
Did you file a report with the US Secret Service? They are actively investigating these crimes. Also did you file a fraud report with your bank and an IC3 with the FBI?
I wish the MUGU team will catch these scammers.
A story from a friend 2023-09-29
If the Scammer PAYBACK"Mr Brown" calls you, block the PAYBACK number +447520665120.
- very good English, maybe a native British-English speaker?
SCAM!!! payback-ltd.com
I was contacted by email and phone by "Mr Brown" from <
support@payback-finance.online> scammer.
PAYBACK"Mr Brown"SCAMMER wanted me to open the remote desktop anydesk app
(red flag #1)
and create atomicwallet while scammer is watching and can see the 12 word backup phrase !!!
and takes a screen shot to remember the 12 word backup and will empty the atomicwallet whenever the scammer wants to.
and open my Bitpanda.com screen
(red flag #2 !)
The process in short
1 OPEN ATOMICWALLET
2 Open Bitpanda !!!- we want to see that it is your Bitpanda and you are the rightful owner
3 PAYBACK"Mr Brown"SCAMMER hangs up abruptly
4 PAYBACK"Mr Brown"SCAMMER changed the password on my Bitpanda!!!
5 I changed Bitpanda password and I froze Bitpanda
6 Bitpanda saved me and my assets with their safety checks
- confirm this new Browser
- confirm this transaction so the PAYBACK"Mr Brown"SCAMMER could not transfer my Bitpanda assets and could not empty my Bitpanda wallet.
PAYBACK"Mr Brown"SCAMMER tried to transfer the Bitpanda assets away, but could not,
because Bitpanda has always the safety protocol 'confirm' to your laptop and your phone.
Excellent service this Bitpanda crypto exchange (located in Europe).
7 PAYBACK"Mr Brown" tries to call again!! I do not answer and block the PAYBACK number +447520665120
