NAMH Global: A Fake "Fund Recovery Agency" That Targeted an Earlier Scam Victim

A Phoenix teacher who had already lost money to a trading scam was contacted by NAMH Global, which promised to recover it for an up-front fee. It was a second scam aimed at the same victim. Because the fees went out on cards and traceable crypto, we clawed back almost all of it.

01How NAMH Global found her

Victim lists circulate among fraud operators. Months after her first loss, the claimant was contacted by NAMH Global, which claimed to be a licensed "fund recovery agency" with a contact at a blockchain-analytics firm and the ability to "force" a refund from the original scammer.

They asked for an up-front "case activation fee," then a "compliance fee," then a "release fee" — payable in gift cards and USDT. This is the defining red flag we tell every client about: a genuine recovery effort does not demand an anonymous up-front wallet payment to an "agent."

02Where it broke

Over three weeks NAMH Global extracted $11,800 in fees, each one promising the recovery was nearly complete. When they asked for a fourth payment, she searched the company name, found warnings, and contacted us.

Two facts made this recoverable. The fees were recent, and they had gone out on rails with leverage: retail gift cards and a USDT transfer to a deposit address at an identifiable exchange — not cash, not a mixer.

I had already lost once. The idea that someone could just get it back felt like a lifeline. It was the same people, or people exactly like them, coming back for the rest.

03How we recovered almost all of it

01
Stopped the bleeding. First call: send NAMH Global nothing further. No legitimate recovery asks for an up-front wallet payment to release your own money.
02
Acted on the gift cards. We helped her report the card serials to the issuers immediately; several still held balances and were frozen.
03
Traced the USDT. The USDT fee was followed to a deposit address at an identifiable exchange and submitted with her IC3 report.
04
Filed the freeze. The receiving exchange acted on the report and her crime reference while the funds were still on-platform.
05
Reconciled the result. Frozen gift-card balances plus the exchange return recovered almost the entire amount; a small spent residue was written off.

$10,700 of $11,800 returned. Recovery-scam fees are often sent on traceable rails very recently, which is exactly when a freeze works — provided you stop and report instead of paying the next "fee."

04Warning signs we flagged

Being contacted by a "recovery agency" after a previous scam loss — victim lists are sold and reused.
Any up-front fee paid in gift cards or crypto to "activate," "comply" or "release."
Claims of a special contact at an exchange, regulator or analytics firm who can "force" a refund.
Pressure and a constantly-moving finish line: one more fee and it is done.
An "agency" with no verifiable registration, address or track record.

Approached by someone promising to recover your lost crypto for a fee?

That is frequently a second scam. Talk to us before you pay anyone — legitimate recovery is investigative work, never an anonymous up-front wallet deposit.
