Second pitches · Updated October 2026

Investigation vs a Recovery Firm

An investigation writes a file. A recovery firm sells an outcome. If a stranger found you after a loss and asks for a fee to start, that is the second pitch. We investigate losses as a cybersecurity company — we do not replace the bank, the card scheme, or the police.

The tell

How a second pitch sounds

  • They wrote you first. You did not find them.
  • They already 'traced' the money before you sent a date.
  • They want a fee, a tax or a wallet connect to begin.
  • They tell you not to call the bank or the police.
  • They promise a percentage or a timeline.

What a cybersecurity company does instead

We investigate losses. We ask for the date and how you paid. We do not replace the bank, the card scheme or the police. The first look at the file is free. That is the whole offer.

File versus pitch

  • You send a record you already have.You send more money.

  • The police stay the police.They offer to 'file INTERPOL' for a fee.

You investigate losses. Is that recovery?

We write the file and tell you what belongs with the bank, the card scheme or the police. Those channels act. We do not replace them.

They have a licence PDF.

Open the register yourself. Then still do not pay a stranger who found you.
