Urgent Warning Against IFW Global Fund Recovery Scam!

Spread financial intelligence

Fund recovery scams are the last scum. They primarily attack victims who have already lost money and exploit their desperation. They promise to recover the money lost to online trading scams. However, to do so, a deposit must first be paid to cover the costs. The financial crime investigator and fund recovery service provider IFW Global has warned today that impersonators use their logos and credentials to attack victims. West African criminals allegedly operate the scam. Stay far away from it.

A fraudulent website with the address https://ifwglobalrecovery.com is impersonating IFW Global. The IFW Global announcement says that these West African criminals based in Kyiv, Ukraine, have previously attempted to run recovery scams using IFW’s name.

Purporting to be IFW Global, the fraud syndicate behind this scam is taking payments via cryptocurrency. However, instead of delivering intelligence, investigative, or asset recovery services in return, they are simply stealing the funds. 

IFW Global has identified several contact details in association with this fraudulent website. Firstly, the registrant of the domain uses the email address [email protected]. Additionally, a Kate Peterson has been contacting people pretending to work for IFW Global. Furthermore, a Jakub Wierzcholski is sending Whatsapp messages from the number +44 7553 079786 and emails from [email protected] in an attempt to pose as one of our team members. 

However, IFW Global can confirm that they do not employ any of these individuals. They are cyber criminals impersonating IFW to steal money from victims.
