Holzergroup recovery pitches: painted wallets and fresh fees

A “law firm” that installs a wallet, credits a fantasy balance, then invoices a percentage is selling urgency, not a judgment.

Holzergroup (also associated in complaints with Henry & Holz Ltd branding and domains such as holzergroup.com) presents itself as a legal or chargeback shop for people who already lost money to fake brokers. Victim accounts describe a familiar stack: a front company signs a modest contract, then a “lawyer” moves the case into crypto — find funds on a big exchange name, open a transit wallet, watch a drawn balance appear, and pay a percentage plus verification extras to withdraw.

Trustpilot and industry write-ups echo the same allegations: withheld funds, invented coin balances, and London-looking addresses that do not prove a practising firm. A quick check means looking the legal name up on a companies register and, more importantly, confirming that named individuals are actually admitted to practise where they claim. Fancy letterheads are cheap; a bar listing is not.

Refuse remote trading software, refuse wallets you do not control, and refuse any “2% of the recovered sum” paid before money lands in an account you alone operate. Keep contracts and chats, then report through Get help rather than arguing with the next invoice.


If this pattern matches something you’ve been offered, start at Get help. If someone is already pitching “recovery”, read Fake recovery before you pay another fee.
