In addition to MyChargeback, Cactil LLC also runs the following recovery scam websites:
ChargeReturns, operating from “chargereturns.com”
ChargebackMyMoney, operating from “chargebackmymoney.org”
RapidCoinRecovery, operating from “rapidcoinrecovery.com”
MyRecoveryExpert, operating from “myrecoveryexpert.com”
GetMyPayBack, operating from “getmypayback.com”
Note this list isn’t complete and there could be more websites associated with Cactil LLC.
As per the seizure notice published on MyChargeback’s domain however, US authorities classify the business as a “cryptocurrency return fraud scheme”. Here at BehindMLM we know this business model as a “recovery scam”.
The gist of the recovery scam model sees a company target victims of fraud. Said victims are sold on the prospect of recovery, which sees them pay a fee or fees to the recovery scam company.
The recovery scam company might send out a few easily ignorable demand letters (or just do nothing), but inevitably their efforts at “recovery” end with a
“Sorry, we tried but…”
script.
It’s at this point the victim realizes they’re out whatever they initially lost plus fees paid to recovery scammers.
You’ve probably seen recovery scammers at work on social media. The scammers hire people, typically from poor countries, to plaster the internet with ads promoting shady websites, Telegram groups, WhatsApp numbers and/or email addresses.
Here at BehindMLM we also get these annoying spam comments. Thankfully our spam filters are pretty good at preemptively weeding them out.
It would be unusual for the FBI/DOJ to seize a website without intent to go after the owner(s). That said if Cactil LLC has hired
