Non-Recovery Declaration

Important Information About Fund Recovery

Critical Declaration

IAFAF DOES NOT RECOVER FUNDS.

IAFAF is a facilitation and awareness platform. IAFAF does not have the authority, capability, or mandate to recover funds lost to financial fraud. Fund recovery is the responsibility of law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities.

What IAFAF Does

IAFAF provides:

  • Guidance on identifying the appropriate regulatory authority
  • Information about complaint filing processes
  • Educational content about fraud awareness
  • Research and intelligence on fraud trends
  • Public-interest advisories and alerts

What IAFAF Does Not Do

IAFAF explicitly does not:

  • Investigate complaints
  • Adjudicate complaints
  • Recover funds
  • Guarantee recovery of funds
  • Provide legal representation
  • Intervene in legal proceedings
  • Act as a recovery agent

Fund Recovery Process

Fund recovery from financial fraud typically involves:

  1. Filing a complaint with the appropriate regulatory authority
  2. Investigation by law enforcement or regulatory agencies
  3. Legal proceedings if necessary
  4. Court orders for recovery
  5. Execution of recovery orders by authorized agencies

IAFAF can guide you to the appropriate authority, but recovery is entirely the responsibility of law enforcement and regulatory bodies.

No Guarantees

IAFAF makes no guarantees regarding:

  • Recovery of funds lost to fraud
  • Timeline for recovery
  • Success of complaints filed with regulators
  • Outcome of legal proceedings
  • Any other recovery-related matters

Important Reminders

  • Report fraud as soon as possible to increase chances of recovery
  • File complaints with the appropriate regulatory authority
  • Keep all evidence and documentation safe
  • Follow up with regulatory authorities on your complaint
  • Seek legal advice if needed for recovery proceedings
  • Be cautious of recovery agents claiming to recover funds

Beware of Recovery Scams

Be cautious of individuals or organizations claiming to recover funds on your behalf, especially if they:

  • Ask for upfront fees or payments
  • Guarantee recovery
  • Pressure you to act immediately
  • Claim to have special connections or methods

Legitimate recovery is handled by law enforcement and regulatory authorities, not by private recovery agents.
