How did you find these Assets?

Every day we scour through our huge proprietary database which compiles and filters the raw data we purchase from hundreds of different sources. When we find outstanding assets that fit our criteria, our top notch researchers use a combination of investigative and computer skills to verify correct ownership.
Where did you find these Assets?

There are many sources of outstanding assets. For confidentiality reasons, and because of the significant resources we have already invested, we need to protect the nature and location of the located assets until we have an agreement in place.
What happens once we sign an agreement?

Once we have an agreement, we will fully disclose the nature and location of the located assets and request your authorization to proceed with the recovery.
When do you get Paid?

The only time we get paid is if the assets are successfully recovered. Only after you have received the funds do we submit our invoice. Because there are no up-front fees or charges, this is a completely no-risk business proposition!
