Victims of scammers believe that there will inevitably be someone to help them reclaim their stolen funds. However, under the guise of chargeback services, fraudsters often offer their “assistance.” These scammers exploit victims’ emotional desperation and their willingness to pay in order to recover significant sums. Needless to say, turning to such “companies” only leads to further financial losses. Today, in this Global Reclaim review, we’ll tell you about a company ready to “help” clients increase their losses. We aim to warn our readers against dealing with these fraudsters. Details can be found below.

Globalreclaim.org Examination
Exploring the official Global Reclaim website proved to be an unforgettable experience, though mostly for negative reasons. Perhaps the creators of this “work” anticipated a different reaction, but they either failed or didn’t care enough to make any effort to achieve it. Consider this: could the impression really be positive when:
- Only the main menu links work correctly on the site. The footer links lead anywhere but the pages one would expect.
- The “Team” link in the footer leads to a 404 page (i.e., it doesn’t exist). This is rather strange for a company that claims to have been operating for 15 years.
- The FAQ has space for only one question, which asks how quickly the service processes a refund request. The response is hardly insightful, summed up as “as soon as possible.”
- On the “About Us” page, there’s only “Our Mission,” “Our Vision,” and “Our Stratgy” (no, that’s not our typo — that’s the actual title on the site).
Overall, the Global Reclaim website appears hastily made and unchecked before going live. Yet we’re meant to believe that this company provides international services and has been in the business for 15 years. If they couldn’t manage their own website at that time, we’re not convinced.
Company Contacts
Global Reclaim doesn’t make it easy to reach their representatives. At first glance, the “Contact Us” page might seem informative and helpful. Here, the service lists:
- A feedback form, which, by the way, appears on nearly every page.
- The company’s email address.
- A UK phone number.
- A British postal address.
The site also offers live chat and the option to message representatives via WhatsApp. However, we couldn’t understand why calls to the Global Reclaim office are only directed to a mobile phone. Could it be that there are no landlines in Southampton office buildings?
But that’s not the most interesting question. We’re more curious about why all social media links are inactive. It seems the company’s representatives don’t want to inform the public about their activities and don’t see social media as a valuable audience. This assumption is hard to avoid, especially since it’s hardly believable that a company in business for 15 years hasn’t managed to create and maintain even one active page.
However, Global Reclaim did create an entire client portal for email inquiries. The portal’s functions include creating and storing tickets. This way, clients can view their entire history of interaction with the service. Whether this feature interests scam victims is hard for us to judge.
Key Conditions
At the same time, we doubt whether Global Reclaim can attract clients at all, given the complete lack of information about terms and conditions on their site. The firm’s employees haven’t even published:
- A list of documents required to start a refund process or assess the possibility of doing so.
- Timelines for the first results or a rejection by the company (the aforementioned “as soon as possible” doesn’t count).
- The amount of the service’s fees, operational expenses, or charges for specific actions.
Moreover, the website lacks official documents such as Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Although the links to these documents appear in the footer, they lead only to a page where users are redirected back.
In fact, the service doesn’t even mention the possibility of a free consultation. The forms on the pages can be used to send any message to the staff. Whether specialists will consult a potential client, take on the refund process, or issue a justified refusal is still unknown.
The site texts also fail to list any specific cases in which the company might agree to help (no scam list). Instead, the site boasts that the firm is also engaged in risk management, investment planning, expert analysis, and more. We’d like to believe this, but without any information on the team, as previously mentioned, Global Reclaim fails to convince.
Exposing Global Reclaim
We fully understand that the points above cannot be conclusive evidence that the firm was created by fraudsters or actually helps fight scammers. However, we can try to assess this by analyzing official information about the company.
To begin with, registration verification is crucial. Unregistered chargeback services are unlikely to resolve refund cases, as they lack the necessary accreditations in banks and other relevant contacts. Thus, we turned first to the Companies House database. Where else would we look for information on a company based in the UK with British phone numbers?
As we can see, the search in the registry yields several results of varying relevance. However, there were no exact matches for the service name “Global Reclaim.” Naturally, this suggests that the company might be virtual, conducting all its activities online — a result that’s far from reassuring for potential clients.
The next essential check is the duration of the service’s existence. On the homepage, we’re told it has been operating in the industry for 15 years. We can obtain the relevant information through a whois lookup on the domain registration date.
The domain globalreclaim.org turns out to be a bit younger than 15 years old, having been registered only in October 2022 (in other words, two years ago, not 15). The first recorded activity, according to the web archive, dates to February 2024. Though this may not be critical, it is far more significant that the achievements listed on the homepage would be physically impossible for Global Reclaim. It’s unfeasible to open 54 offices worldwide in two years (especially given that we couldn’t locate a single address), handle over 5,000 investment projects in this period — about 7-8 projects per day — and successfully complete 214 refund cases. It’s even more unlikely given that two years haven’t sufficed to properly organize the website.
In short, Global Reclaim has convinced us that it provides inaccurate information to appear more appealing to clients than it really is. Can we trust it to fulfill its obligations, recover client funds, and not simply pocket advance payments? We have our doubts.
What Reviews Do Users Leave?
The number of Global Reclaim reviews published online reinforces our suspicion that the company tries to deceive clients. Currently, there are three posts about it on Trustpilot and an equal number on reviews.io, with a third of them being overtly negative. The positive ones are obviously fabricated, limited to brief phrases like “Good experience” and “Thank you.”
The negative reviews are far more detailed, describing how the company calls potential clients, offers assistance, but demands an advance payment. Naturally, this money also disappears, and the trusting user never sees it again.
Experts on industry-specific sites are equally critical, providing well-founded arguments explaining why Global Reclaim is a scam and advising against engaging with it or similar services.
Conclusions
In this Global Reclaim review, we have gathered and presented ample evidence to help users understand that this is an ordinary, fraudulent pseudo-company where you’re likely to lose money. The information it provides is false, the service operates without official registration, and it has no accreditation. Not even the mandatory legal documents are present on its website. Are you willing to entrust your money to an unknown entity? We’re certainly not.
Pros/Cons
- Decent website design.
- A variety of service offerings besides the core business.
- The company is unregistered and exists solely online.
- The service is not accredited by banks or payment systems.
- The owners of this pseudo-company haven’t even published mandatory legal documents: Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
- Client service conditions are not disclosed.
Global Reclaim is a scam! Instead of returning money, they steal it. But I’m going to the police tomorrow to file a report. Let’s make sure these scammers are punished!
I regret trusting these scammers from Global Reclaim. After losing $20,000, I was not thinking clearly, so I believed them at their word. Then, it was very simple – they called me up to 10 times a day, pushing me to make an advance payment. They kept saying that the longer I delayed, the harder it would be to track down the scammers and get my money back. I sent them another $3,000, and the calls immediately stopped. They stopped responding to my calls and emails, too. It’s been almost 1.5 months with no word. Well, that’s another $3,000 lost. Don’t trust these scammers!!!
