Victims of unlicensed brokers are routinely approached again — sometimes via brands that present as helpful “information portals” about scams. One name that shows up in those complaints is ScamMavis, paired with introductions to people billed as recovery lawyers or chargeback specialists. Treat the pattern, not the logo: someone finds you after a loss, claims funds are already located, and steers you toward fees, remote access or a new wallet “to unlock” the payout.
A registry number on a business card is not proof of who is messaging you. Impersonation of real practitioners is common; verify any lawyer through the official chamber or firm contacts you look up yourself, and insist on a proper engagement letter before money moves. Guaranteed recovery, crypto “taxes” to release funds, and screen-sharing tools are classic advance-fee tells. Domains and firm names attached to such pitches deserve the same cold check — separate reporting has flagged lookalike recovery law sites under other brands.
If someone contacts you first with a miracle path back to stolen deposits, pause. Use public channels on Get help and read Fake recovery before you pay anyone who promises to finish the job the first thieves started.
