Fraud Alert: Beware of Asset Recovery Scams Targeting Victims.

The Anti-Money Laundering Recovery & Enforcement Alliance (AMLR&EA) has recently become aware of fraudulent individuals and groups falsely claiming to represent our organization in an attempt to deceive victims of financial crime. We also want to alert the public to other common scams targeting those affected by online fraud and illicit financial schemes.Please review the following critical facts to protect yourself:

1. AMLR&EA Does Not Charge Any Fees

AMLR&EA is a non-profit organization. We never request any fees under any circumstances for our assistance. We do not collaborate with any private law firms, hacker groups, or asset recovery agencies to provide paid legal services. Any such claims are unauthorized and fraudulent.

2. Scammers May Impersonate AMLR&EA

While AMLR&EA may contact verified victims to offer support, we are aware that some scammers impersonate our staff by phone, email, or social media, falsely promising asset recovery or legal help. Do not disclose personal or sensitive information before verifying the identity of the person contacting you. To confirm authenticity, please use our official hotline or other verified contact methods listed on this website.

3. Real Investigations Are Confidential

Official law enforcement investigations are strictly confidential. Neither AMLR&EA nor government agencies share sensitive victim information with third parties such as private firms or recovery services. Any entity claiming to have access to your case details is highly likely to be fraudulent.

4. False Recovery Claims Are Often Scams

Law firms, hacker groups, or so-called asset recovery agencies claiming they can recover stolen funds are often part of advance-fee frauds. These groups usually lack legal authority, operate outside of jurisdictional frameworks, and prey on victims by offering false hope in exchange for upfront payments.

How to Protect Yourself

1. Never pay fees to any person or organization claiming they can recover your funds unless they are officially endorsed by a government or law enforcement agency.

2. Verify any unsolicited communication claiming to be from AMLR&EA by contacting us directly via our official hotline.

3. Be cautious of anyone offering to file claims or recover funds on your behalf, especially if they ask for payment upfront or make unverifiable claims.

4. Do not share your personal information, banking credentials, or case files with anyone who cannot be authenticated through official AMLR&EA or government channels.

5. Report suspicious activity to your local law enforcement agency or cybercrime division immediately.
