Direct answer
You can spot an asset recovery scam if the company demands an upfront fee, refuses to provide a written contract, or falsely claims to be a government agency.
Red flags to watch for
Legitimate asset recovery firms operate transparently. Be cautious if a company:
- Asks for your bank account information before a contract is signed.
- Pressures you to act immediately or uses threatening language.
- Uses a logo that mimics the Oklahoma State Treasurer to imply government affiliation.
Verifying a legitimate firm
A real firm will clearly state they are a private business. They will explain that you have the right to search for funds yourself for free. They will provide a clear, written service agreement outlining their commission structure.
