Someone mentioned "wealthadvocates.org" in Trustpilot to recover the Wellesley Money. Sounded like a scam, but the organisation does exist and have 18 Good Reviews (4.6) on TrustPilot itself.
Anyone has any ideas ?

Could they try to recover your money for you on an exclusively "no win, no fee" basis?
A 4.6 star rating on Trustpilot is exceptionally good, but some of the reviews seem to be fake. For instance, there are a significant number of reviews from people who've only posted one or two reviews in total.
I'd be reluctant to pay any company any upfront fees to recover funds, no matter how good their reviews may be.

Anyone has any ideas ? What are you seeing to lead you to believe the organisation exists? (NB: I looked no further than the website, so it's not that I can't find anything - I just haven't looked ....) Re: the website, - the domain name was registered six months, a little unusual (but not impossible) for a company allegedly founded in 1993
- wealthadvocates.com was registered in 2009 but just redirects to .org
- searching for 'Raymond Flitch' - named as founder and CEO on the website - comes up with zero (relevant) results; I find that most unusual
- the blog / 'latest news' have three pseudo entries, all from around the time the .org was originally registered and nothing recent
- the testimonials are just a little too good looking to be true (again, not so unusual to use stock photo's instead of real client pics, but.... Zainab Abdul... c'mon... really?!?!)
- none of the social media links go anywhere - I thinks they could have got something up and running even if the web-site is only 6months old.
As stated, not looked any further, but I'd be reaching for a bargepole long before I reached for a credit card...

Thought so. All good reviews, not even a single Neutral Review - sounds too good to be true. Just wondered if anyone knew anything about that Co.

To iRobot: You have keen observation on their websites. Thanks for your input. However, do you know of any authentic company who can legally recover funds from a scam crypto trader? I need suggestions as I am a victim of scam (Firstbit.io).

I had similar thought. Is there any real person among the reviewers; or are they just made up by someone from wealthadvocates.org.?

Hi p2pfan, Can you recommend an authentic company who can help in recovering funds from a scam crypto trader?

"Angelina Jolie" has given them a good review along with one from "alex jorden" all on the same day ...

I need suggestions as I am a victim of scam (Firstbit.io). Short answer: No. Longer answer: If I were looking, I think my first port of call would be established consumer aid entities such as Citizens Advice (site for England, there are others) and Which? - both of these should provide accurate and reliable information. (Including a bit of a reality check which is likely to be along the lines of: "Sorry, chances of seeing any money returned is likely to be practically zero.")
