So we have another Bitcoin recovery spammer coming here to sell you on their supposed expertise. Are they another scammer or providing you with fraudulent information? Let's take a look. Before I examine their text, I'll see if I can spot some immediate "tells" and reasons not to trust them...

Not comparable at all in numerous aspects as I'll explain below. Perhaps a better example is a doctor, a lawyer, a surgeon, a plumber, or any skilled person at their craft that provides a noticeable value add that separates the wheat from the chaff. Being able to change a tire and oil does not...

Here is a very interesting article I perused on the First Amendment Audits and Audtiors and should provide greater insight and context. There is a shorter article below and a 66 page PDF with legal citations: Responding to First Amendment "Audits"in the Local Government Context, by Kristi A...

This may be the laziest crypto scam spammer story I've seen in a while. Couldn't even spend time to try to create something that sounds legitimate. Yet another lame "crypto recovery specialist." Read the replies above debunking all of these services. If you've lost funds, assets or...
