Swift Recovery Services contacts previous scam victims promising guaranteed fund recovery for an upfront fee. This is a second-chance scam targeting people who have already been defrauded. Risk level: Critical.
What has been reported
Victims of earlier scams are contacted by email, phone, or social media by someone claiming to be from Swift Recovery Services. They claim to have located the stolen funds and can recover them for an upfront fee. The contact may reference details of the original scam to appear credible.
How second-chance scams work
Scammers obtain lists of previous fraud victims through data breaches or dark web markets. They contact victims with promises of recovery, often using details from the original scam to build credibility. The upfront fee is the real target – no recovery ever occurs. Victims may be contacted multiple times by different fake recovery companies.
Protecting yourself from recovery scams
No legitimate recovery service demands upfront fees before any work. No company can guarantee recovery of stolen funds. Verify any recovery company independently through official channels. Be extremely suspicious of unsolicited contact claiming to have found your money.
If you have been contacted
Do not pay any fees. Do not provide wallet seed phrases, passwords, or account access. Report the contact to law enforcement. If you have already paid, preserve all records and seek a free case review. Be cautious – you may be targeted again by other fake recovery services.
