Advance-fee requests
A common warning sign is any demand for payment before funds are released, especially through wire transfer, gift card, cryptocurrency, or money transfer services.
Loan and Grant Scam Guidance
We help identify fraudulent loan and grant schemes, including advance-fee fraud and fake award notices.
Warning signs we review
- Fake loan application fees before approval
- Upfront charges for non-existent grants
- Government impersonation or agency misuse
- International transfer and filing fee demands
Before you pay another fee
Send us the message, agreement, payment request, and any receipt. We will help you review whether the request looks legitimate and what can be documented next.
What loan and grant scams often look like
Fraudulent offers may look professional: official-looking letters, copied seals, urgent deadlines, fake approval numbers, and requests for processing, insurance, tax, clearance, or transfer fees.
Identity pressure
Scammers may ask for identity documents, bank login details, or remote access. Do not send sensitive identity information through unsecured channels.
Document review
We review messages, receipts, names, domains, phone numbers, and transfer details to identify patterns and preserve useful evidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers for people who need help after a scam, suspicious loan offer, unauthorized transaction, or cryptocurrency loss.
Can Trust Recovery guarantee that my money will be recovered?
No. Recovery depends on evidence, timing, the payment method, institutions involved, jurisdictions, and applicable law. We focus on careful documentation, tracing support, and a realistic recovery strategy.
What information should I prepare before contacting you?
Prepare transaction receipts, wallet addresses, bank references, names used by the suspected scammer, emails, phone numbers, websites, chat screenshots, dates, and a short timeline of what happened.
Should I keep communicating with the suspected scammer?
Avoid sending more money or sensitive documents. Preserve messages and payment requests, but do not provide passwords, remote access, full card numbers, or identity documents through unsecured channels.
Do you help with cryptocurrency scams?
Yes. We review wallet addresses, exchange records, transaction hashes, messages, and platform information to help organize a case file and identify practical reporting or escalation paths.
Can you help with loan and grant scams?
Yes. We review fake approval letters, advance-fee requests, suspicious domains, payment instructions, and impersonation tactics used in fraudulent loan and grant schemes.
Is my case handled privately?
Confidentiality is central to our process. We ask only for information relevant to the review and advise against submitting highly sensitive identity or login information through website forms.
What should I do if the scammer is still contacting me?
Keep copies of every new message, avoid sending more money, and do not share additional documents. If threats are involved, consider contacting local law enforcement or the relevant financial institution immediately.
Can I submit screenshots and documents through the website?
The public forms are designed for basic case information only. After initial contact, we can discuss safer ways to share relevant records if they are needed for review.
How long does a review take?
Timing depends on the complexity of the case and how organized the records are. A simple first review can move quickly, while multi-platform or cross-border matters may require more document preparation.
Do I need to contact my bank first?
If a bank card, wire transfer, ACH payment, or unauthorized account activity is involved, contact your bank or card issuer as soon as possible. Early notification can preserve dispute or fraud-reporting options.
What makes a recovery case stronger?
Strong cases usually have clear payment records, timestamps, written promises, identifiable accounts, platform data, and a consistent timeline. The sooner records are preserved, the easier they are to organize.
What information should I avoid sending?
Do not submit passwords, seed phrases, full card numbers, bank login credentials, SSN, or identity documents through public website forms or live chat.
