this was the number Trader watch sent with the text, +442037691824
The only details about the number is its from London.
The following is FYI, followed by my opinion.
0203 or +44203 numbers can be anywhere. The assumption they are "London" numbers is common, but erroneous.
+442037691824 is listed* as the phone number of

Recover Your Lost Funds
The Leading Firm for Investment Recovery
FREE CONSULTATION
We've already helped recover millions of Dollars in stolen assets and fraudulent online deposits.
Uncover the Truth
Recover Funds has an intelligence gathering team that tracks down underground information about unregulated binary options companies.
"Recover Funds" appears to be referred to as a third party operation. I was unable to find any details of such.
Then we have "Testimonials"......let's look at the middle one,
In just less than 48 hours, Recover Funds has managed to find the solution to recovering my lost investment. Very reliable.
The major problem with (non existent Ltd company, photo is of 'Carol Harper') Elizabeth is that not only have 'Recover Funds' managed to find a "solution" for her, so have wealthrecoverynow.co and (also note the added "s") traderswatch.org, which are clones of the coordinateinsurance.com website.
WARNING: Due to the limited number of workers, we can handle up to 1000 applications a week. - HURRY! 5 places left
Traderswatch uses the same UK address as INSURANCE CONSULTANT SERVICES LTD, but wealthrecoverynow is American
4126 Despard Street,
East Point
GA 30344.
as is the website coordinateinsurance.com, with its references to dollars. Also at that address is
www.scamsrescue.com.
Are you getting my drift here?Icing on cake:
coordinateinsurance.com website was created 12th Nov 2019 for one year, using Hosting Ukraine LLC.
Who Rob MACKRIDGE is and wtf he's playing at, or whether he even knows about the use of his details to 'authenticate' these other companies, is unclear. It doesn't really matter to you. Dealing with any of these fictional companies run by the same criminals is only going to cost you more money.
