Anyone heard of 'Claims Justice' recovery? Got scammed before and they reached out to me.
Hey everyone, Feeling pretty stupid even asking this, but after I got totally fleeced last year in that fake crypto investment scheme (lost about 8k AUD, a lot for me), I've been getting tons of spam. Anyway, out of the blue, I got an email and then a call from a company calling themselves 'Claims Justice'. They sound really professional, they knew details about my previous scam that I didn't even openly share online, which is kind of creepy but also made me think maybe they *are* legit? They're saying they can get my money back, but they need an 'administrative fee' upfront to start the process. They're talking about legal filings and forensics. My gut is screaming scam again, but a small part of me is desperate to get my money back. Has anyone had any experience with 'Claims Justice'? Or is this just another scam preying on victims like me? I'm in Melbourne, but they said they operate internationally.
A company called 'Reclaim Solutions' contacted me offering to get my crypto back. Are they legit?
Hey everyone, Feeling pretty embarrassed asking this, but I got scammed out of a chunk of crypto a few months back. I reported it to ASIC, but honestly, didn't hear much back and kinda just gave up hope. I've been feeling so stupid about it and trying to move on. Then, out of nowhere, I got an email yesterday from a company called 'Reclaim Solutions'. They somehow knew I'd lost money in a crypto scam, even named the exchange (which was fake anyway). They're saying they have investigators and legal teams, and they can 'guarantee' recovery of my funds for an upfront 'administrative fee' of about $500 AUD, paid in BTC, of course. Then it's a percentage of anything they get back. They sent me some 'client testimonials' and a really professional-looking PDF. My gut is screaming scam, especially the BTC payment part and the guarantee. But what if it's not? What if this is my one chance? Has anyone heard of these guys? Or any legit recovery firms for crypto?
I'm in Australia and fell for an investment scam through someone I met on social media. Where do I report this?
I'm feeling so lost and embarrassed right now. I met someone really charming on Instagram a few months ago. We talked for weeks, and they seemed so genuine. Eventually, they started talking about this amazing crypto investment platform they were using. It all looked legit – I even saw some small returns initially. I ended up putting in a significant chunk of my superannuation and now the platform is gone, and so is the person. They've ghosted me completely. I'm based in Perth, Australia, and I don't even know where to begin reporting this. I've tried calling my bank, but they said because I authorized the transfers, there's little they can do. I've heard about things like ASIC here, but I'm not sure if this kind of 'social media to fake investment' scam falls under their purview or if there's a better place to start. Any advice on the proper channels for reporting in Australia, and what kind of information I should prepare, would be really appreciated. I just want to stop this from happening to someone else.
