What is a scam?
A scam is an illegal act that occurs in order to steal money or property from another individual. According to Wikipedia, scam occurs when an offender deceives an individual to obtain money, property, or some other tangible object from them. For example, a computer scam would involve a computer crook convincing an individual to unknowingly share information about the victim’s computer with the scammer.
Section 2: What is a Fund Recovery Company?
A Fund Recovery Company (FRC) specializes in the recovery of stolen funds, investments, and accounts. However, according to a media-representative of another firm specializing in the recovery of stolen funds, fraud is not their sole purpose in life.
Who are the scammers?
In the world of online scams, scammers usually display their fake social media accounts. Their job is to acquire personal information of unsuspecting victims in order to steal their money. While a common belief is that the scammers are from distant countries, it’s actually the local people who are behind the money-related fraud. A recent 2017 study by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) shows that one in six consumers, which amounts to 34 million people across the country, were swindled in some way or another.
But there are others who’ve fallen victim to online scams and find it extremely hard to restore their money.
Do my other options end here?
Not at all. Yes, the scam may have ended after you lost the majority of your money, but you can still get your stolen funds back.
How do the scams work?
As we all know, scammers get a lot of return on their investment. And while there are people working with online companies to assist people in recovering their lost funds, the most vulnerable and oppressed are women. One of the most common of these scams is known as the “teardrop scam.”
Have you ever been at a friend’s place and passed by her room to get a glass of water, only to hear an eerie laugh coming from the locked bedroom? If the room was locked, then the laugh was likely the sound of the lock being picked. Upon entering the room, you would have found an earring stuck in the peephole of the door. Having done so, you would have realized the laugh was coming from her false eye. This fake eye would then be used as a substitute for the real eye, in order to open the door.
