Money Recovery Scams: When One Scam Turns into Two
Imagine this: You just lost your money in a scam. You are hurt, angry. Then, as you try to pick up the pieces, someone reaches out to you. They say they can help. They know who took your money, and they promise to get it back for you.
You feel hopeful and want to believe it.
But here’s the problem: this is another scam.
Money recovery scams happen when someone pretends to help a scam victim recover their stolen funds - only to scam them again. It’s a cruel story, targeting people when they are feeling vulnerable.
These scammers often pose as cybersecurity experts or money recovery specialists,
and typically ask for upfront fees "to start the process," "service fees," or personal and banking details.
And once they get what they want, they disappear.
