Threat Profile
Recovery scam (fca.org.uk) positions itself as a digital-asset brokerage targeting everyday investors. CryptoCISO flagged the operator during routine counterparty-risk screening.
Regulatory Posture
Recovery scam discloses no regulatory licence that we could independently verify. For a platform soliciting public deposits, that silence is itself a material warning sign.
On-Chain & Operational Notes
On-chain, platforms in this category tend to consolidate client deposits into a small set of collection wallets before dispersing them across exchanges and bridges. Capturing the deposit trail and counterparty addresses early is critical to any later tracing effort.
Indicators We Flagged
- Aggressive or unsolicited outreach and pressure to deposit quickly
- Offshore or shell-company structure used to obscure ownership
- Opaque corporate identity and unverifiable team or address
- Crypto-only deposits that bypass chargeback protections
CryptoCISO Risk Verdict
Our assessment places Recovery scam in the high risk band. The combination of unverifiable licensing and recurring fraud signatures is, in our experience, characteristic of platforms that do not return client funds on demand.
If Your Funds Are Exposed
Should you be exposed, halt further payments and ignore demands for upfront fees to ‘free’ your balance. Gather your evidence – TXIDs, wallet addresses, screenshots, and correspondence – while it is still accessible. Early, organised evidence is what makes downstream tracing and reporting viable.
