Every week, new websites appear masquerading as law firms, allegedly specializing in the recovery of funds lost due to financial fraud. To protect individuals, we have compiled a list of dishonest "lawyers" operating in this field.
The scheme of these fake specialists is the same: they promise to help recover funds and claim that payment will only be required after a successful outcome. However, this is all a scam. Later, it turns out that the funds have supposedly already been deposited into a special account, but in order to access them, one needs to pay a commission, tax, or other "mandatory" fees.
Once someone falls victim, they are manipulated into making further payments. Some individuals are taken advantage of multiple times before realizing they have encountered fraudsters.
These fake lawyers often take on any case, even those where recovery is impossible. In practice, the successful return of funds from scammers is extremely rare and requires strong legal grounds.
This list specifically includes online scammers who pose as lawyers, regulators, or association representatives. It does not include fraudsters operating in physical offices or at the residences of individuals.
It's important to note that the registration details used by fraudsters, such as company numbers, addresses, and other identifying information, often belong to legitimate, law-abiding organizations. These details may include VAT numbers, company registration numbers, or other official identifiers depending on the country. If a detailed analysis of a particular "law firm" has been conducted, a link to it will be provided under the company's name.
