[Warning] Scammy crypto recovery service

[Rikafip]

What happened; user @Hallantroe created the thread in which he gives advice how to avoid being scamemd, while the real purpose of that thread is to promote crypto recovery service. At first, nothing weird there (beside the fact that all those recover services are fake), but when you check their website you will see plenty of red flags; from claim of having 100% recovery rate, to fake team member photos and phonmy testimonials. Since this is obviously fake service, I am creating this thread in order to flag the before mentioned user.

Their whole team is fake, but as proof I am just going to share one of them, which should be enough to show that this is nothing but a scam, trying to profit from desperate people who already lost money.

I think they are probably using some website template that came with those images, and other information is also incorrect and random
Claiming to have 23092 Happy Customers, with 6287378 recovered funds and 13432 coins, is just random number on screen and nothing else.
I could say the same for their fake testimonials, and on their exact same address there is company called Prudent Financial Solutions Ltd.

When a company is posting something like this:

For a while, those recovery scammers seemed to be going extinct but I guess the wave of bankruptcy has given them a new push to try it again.

Oh, and talking about reviews
What "cryptocurrency expert" would leave his picture and full name for everyone on the internet to know how he was scammed and he lost his funds?

Yep, everywhere you look you stumble upon a red flag, I just mentioned few as it was enough to show what's really going on there.

I wouldn't be surprised if they start using Celsius angle, promising people that they can somehow get the money back.

Even though this scam attempt look pathetic, I am pretty sure that some will fall for this as people do stupid things when they are desperate, and that's exactly their target audience. After all, more often than not scammer than person he manages to scam, its just that they have will to do it.

Supported flags. When we can't trust any online reviews due to manipulation then how we may trust on-site testimonials? I won't trust any new recovery service that hasn't been proven yet. Because it's a piece of sensitive information. We may lose our funds forever if credentials are handover to the wrong hands. Thanks for the warning and flags.

All the testimonials on their page have no link to verify those profiles that gave those testimonials they are all false and just made up of the creator of this project, they know that there are some victims who will be desperate to get their money from scammers and many of them are on the look for projects that can do that for the victims, but the truth is if you got scam its almost impossible to recover what you've lost, these people are merciless they are victimizing victims.

I supported flag, how heartless can scammers be?, even to the point of trying to scam already scam victims.
How is it even possible to recover lost Bitcoins from scammers when we all know that Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies in general) transactions are irreversible, I think common sense should tell any one who read the thread that information provided about how to recovered stolen Bitcoins is a scam attempt, for if all he claimed in his post was possible, the platform that fecilitate this would have been very popular due to the numerous number of investors that would want to use their service to recover their stolen assets.

[coin-investor]

Of all the scam projects I hate Crypto recovery services the most because they victimize the victim, they are putting salt to the victim's wound and this really hurts them, all Crypto recovery sites are scams they are just giving false hope to people that they can recover their account, there is no charge back in Crypto once sent to anonymous people its not possible for a chargeback.

What illiterate monkey has written this shit?!

LOL.  I'm sure it's none of those people in the pics.  Probably jerkwad with bare feet and crumbs all over his keyboard somewhere in S. America or Asia or wherever else English comes as a problem to retarded scammers who are too careless to get the details of their scam right.

If I knew nothing else about this service except those three team member photos, I'd immediately suspect a scam.  Those three people look like what far left-leaning Hollywood would cast in a movie that only had three actors.  Got a professorial-looking older white male, a black male who looks like he jumped out of an Abercromie & Fitch catalog, and a young white female who, quite frankly, looks horny.

Definitely not what I'd picture as a crypto recovery team.

Their target audience are not those who know how bitcoin works. After all, its newbies who think if Bitcoin as some kind of magic money are exactly those who get scammed by ponzies, not an experienced users.

Lol, nailed it!

Not only that and many others are scattered. The only victims may be those who do not have or lack the knowledge of how this type of technology and system works, especially those who immediately believe that they have not even researched whether the recovery service offered is true and possible. Instead of recovering, the rest will be lost or the other wallet/account will be affected. But those soaked in this forum know that at first glance this is a scam.
