Scam Awareness & How to Verify Us

Sadly, real surplus funds attract real scammers. We would rather teach you to be skeptical — including of us — than see anyone taken advantage of.

Warning signs of a scam

  • Demands for upfront fees, gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency
  • Requests for your Social Security number, bank login, or card details early on
  • Claims to be from a court, sheriff, or government office (real ones do not cold-call about surplus funds and ask for money)
  • "Guaranteed" money or pressure to sign immediately
  • Refusal to put anything in writing or to let you consult an attorney

How to verify us

  1. Use the Verify a Letter page with the reference number on your letter.
  2. Call the phone number published on this website and ask for your case representative by name.
  3. Check our company registration with the state. Ask us for our legal entity details — we will provide them happily.
  4. Take your time. A legitimate opportunity does not evaporate because you spent a week checking it out.

What we will never do

  • Ask for money before any recovery
  • Ask for banking credentials or card numbers
  • Pose as a government office or court
  • Guarantee that you will receive funds
