Recently our Intel team came across Werecoverfundlmt, they claimed to be “an investigative and consulting firm hired mainly by victims of online fraud to help them get their money back.”

Visiting their website, we noticed several red flags. First, there wasn’t any address listed on their website, just a telephone number, and two email addresses.

 

We also caught a typo on the home page, bad grammar and poor spellings are synonymous with scam websites, as English is sometimes not the first language of the scammers.

Next, we noticed that there’s no information about owners, management team, or staff on the website. Doing a web search using the email “gethelponfunds@yahoo.com” listed on the website, we find it is listed in a review of another website “wehelponfunds.com.”

Checking the review on Scamadviser, we find that someone named Jerry had reviewed the website calling it “100% Scam.”

At this point, we also search for werecoverfundslmt.com on scamadviser and find another worrying review.

From the review, we can see that after promising no upfront payment, they still tried to extort money from the reviewer.

The strongest evidence we could find linking these two domains together is that they were registered by the same person Helponrefunds Bruce

Doing a further review of the website, we noticed that they weren’t any social media handles. Doing a search on Instagram, we found an account with the username darkweboj that had the website listed on its profile.

 

A Google search of the email address “fundsrcvy@gmail.com” listed on the profile, shows that it was posted as a comment on a post about a romance scam

This comment reveals how the person behind werecoverfundslmt operates. Basically, he posts messages pretending to be a victim of a scam and claims their funds were recovered by his fake recovery agency.

A quick search showed several other forums where the website is mentioned

During the course of this investigation, we also came across other scam websites offering recovery services. Below is a list,

  • lucrerecoup.com
  • financialreimbursement.com
  • thefraudlabpro.com
  • recoverytemple.tech
  • investmentbloom.com
  • atriumforensics.com
  • trackforcerecovery.org
  • corecrypto.tech
  • recoveryempire.com
  • chargeitbacks.com
  • lallroyal.org
  • blockchain-chargeback.com
  • reduxrecovery.org
  • cyberspace101.com
  • assetfixrecoverynetwork.com
  • activebonorum.com
  • efundsrecovery.com
  • royalfinancialrescue.com
  • solutionglobalrecovery.com
  • financialspringrecovery.com

From the start, our advice would be not to trust any website offering to recover your money after you’ve been a victim of Binary options, Cryptocurrency, or Catfish scams. Rather, report the incident to the law enforcement agencies or government-licensed agencies in your jurisdiction authorized to deal with such cases.

As the influence of the internet rises, so does the prevalence of online scams. There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. Check Out the Social Media Links Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu

So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!! If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking.  If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. PayPal Debit card/Credit card Bank transfer Wire transfer Google Pay Bitcoin PayPal If you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase. Conditions to file a dispute: The simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: "If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple." The scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller.  The condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page. This could be the
