Please stay away from these people. They are scammers. I realized they are after I was asked to pay through Transferwise... I refused and pretend I want to do a bank transfer instead. So they sent me thier banking information... which is based in UAE. I did not pay but have thier bank info on me. There is no such address in Albany NY. Please stay away from this scam. Contact me if you need details.

Fake website, fake company - they are trying to steal your ID ! Asks for your passport and a utility bill, before even doing anything. Do not fall for the scam !!

ANOTHER SCAM!! My Review is exactly like the other 1 star reviews. It has been 5 months, they are complete scammers, they dont answer your phone calls. They redirect payments with transferwise to the UAE which they think cant be tracked or disputed. Postal mail was bounced back because their is no office in Albany, NY. They will take your money. Anyone who reads this stay away from them. I hope Trustpilot will take action.

Definitely scammers

They are professional scammer. I’m based in UK, anyone feel free to contact me. They direct my card payment through Transferwise, this way even cannot chargeback . Complete scammer, I don’t know why nobody reports till now. The person called himself Alex, They are not based in NYC, because they directed my payment to an Arab country. Over half an year, I didn’t get funds back, instead, they disappeared. I have been scammed, already reported to police. Re Firstoptionrecovery: Alex, you showed up now. Do you want me to post every proof here? Disclose everything in detail how you scammed people who already been scammed by binary options! You have two options: refund me $800, or got my funds back. Don’t tell me you don’t know who am I. Re: You can stop lying. You don’t need to verify, Trustpilot will verify. All these faked reviews everywhere, you know clearly all these websites need to verify. Everyone knows this also. How professional scammer you are

Response from First Option Recovery· Mar 20, 2021
Hello Kate, We would like to bring it to your notice that we are ready to help you, however it is difficult to verify who you are, as we do not have a client by the name of Kate W, who we are working with from the UK. In our previous response we have requested you to email us at [email protected]/[email protected] so we can help you in the best possible way, but we have not received any email from Kate W. We will not be able to consider your request as you are not able to verify yourself. We deal with companies that defraud client and we have noticed that they put up a review and try to defame us without verifying themselves. We want to make it clear to all our clients to understand the difference between a genuine review and a fake review. This is to inform you that we are getting numerous complaints that scammers are using similar names as our representatives and stating that they are from First Option Recovery and defrauding customers. However if you are a genuine customer and think you have been defrauded by First Option Recovery kindly get back to us.
I would like to thank First Option Recovery team and I appreciate everything they did to help me get my money back. They were honest and trustworthy the whole way thru. I am glad that I choose the most professional recovery company and am more glad that my fears that the recovery might be a scam were not realised. Thank you First Option Recovery team.

After being scammed form a BGates giveaway on YouTube.. I came across this company. At first they were very helpful, returned emails and phone calls promptly. They were very confident they could help me recover my bitcoin with all the information and pictures, transaction id's and wallet addresses. I gave them all my personal information( huge mistake) plus signed a contract with them to give them permission to recover my funds. I was a little skeptical form all the different names they used to get the fee for their services.. something started to look fishy. So now its been 5 months with no return phone calls or emails. So I reached out to my CC company that I paid the fee with and they confirmed the are a scam company.. Beware of these people.. Thanks for another loss UPDATE 4/19/2021 Ok as soon as I posted this review, they contacted me within 24hrs. They said they could not reach me(what a lie.. don't they know it is very easy to look at call history) so I went along with their excuses anyway, they sent me a claim form and said to fill it out and send it back. It looked very generic and had a Court house from London where the claim was supposed to be filed. I emailed justice.gov.uk with the form and my contact information. Well I finally heard back from them and Surprise... Its a fake claim. If anyone has any questions Please feel free to contact me, The more we get on these people the faster they can find them.

As of today, Bitcoin scams are literally everywhere and these scammers are very good at what they do. I thought there was nothing I could do to recover my investment or feel better about being scammed. As I combed the internet looking for a solution, I came across First Option Recovery. Still suspicious of everyone, I reached out to them for help. They responded immediately with an action plan on not only recovering my initial investment, but also the return promised by the scammers. Their mission is to help people like me and stop these scammers from robbing people of their hard earned money. While the scammers are out there spending our money on sports cars and designer clothes, we are left with nothing. First Option Recovery levels the playing field. I have completely confidence that they will make me whole again. I will be back her to update on the outcome of my case. Thanks to the team at First Option Recovery! The only option!
