No. WalletRecovery.info is Veksler Consulting LLC, a Colorado company (ID #20218030311) in Denver, run by one named person: me, David Veksler. The assessment is free, the fee is published, there is no upfront payment, and the terms are in a written contract before anything moves.
But people do use this brand's name to defraud people, and if someone contacted you first, it was not me. I have been impersonated on social media and in messaging apps, usually by accounts offering exactly what a real recovery service cannot deliver.
So there are two reasons you might be on this page, and both get answered below.
The short version
- I am a named person behind a registered US company, with published pricing and a written contract.
- There is no upfront fee, and no fee at all unless your crypto comes back.
- I never contact anyone first, and I never ask anyone to pay a fee to "release" recovered funds.
- Nobody can reverse a completed blockchain transaction, including me. Anyone who says they can pull coins back from a thief's address is running a second scam on you. Here is the full explanation.
- What I can and cannot do is spelled out on the homepage: Can I actually help you?
How to verify you are talking to the real me
Any one of these is a check an impersonator cannot pass. Use as many as you like, and use them before you send me anything.
- The email address. All legitimate email from me comes from [email protected]. Not a Gmail, Proton, or Outlook address, not a hyphenated lookalike domain, not a "support" or "billing" variant. Check the sending address character by character.
- The phone and Signal number. +1 214-659-1775, for both. Call it. If someone gave you a different number, it is not mine.
- My PGP key. Ask whoever contacted you to sign a message with the key published at /pgp-key/. Someone impersonating me cannot produce that signature, because they do not have the private key. This single test settles almost every case.
- The company registration. Look up Veksler Consulting LLC, Colorado ID #20218030311, in the Colorado Secretary of State business database. It is a public record and it takes about a minute.
- In person. I work from a bench in Denver, Colorado, and you can bring a device to me by appointment instead of shipping it. An impersonator on the other side of the world cannot meet you.
- The paperwork. Real work here starts with a free assessment, then a written contract with Veksler Consulting LLC, with the published fee fixed before any work begins. Recovered coins go to an address you control.
If a message fails any of these checks, stop replying to it and write to [email protected] directly. Do not use a link, phone number, or address supplied by the person who contacted you.
What an impersonator asks for
The advance-fee pattern is old and it barely changes. Someone claiming to be a recovery expert asks for money before any result, under a name that sounds like a cost rather than a fee:
- An upfront "activation," "software," "licensing," or "retainer" fee.
- A "gas fee," "tax," "mining fee," or "release fee" to unlock funds they claim to have already recovered. This is the most common one, and the funds do not exist.
- Your seed phrase or private keys "to verify ownership." Never give those to anyone who contacts you.
- Payment in crypto to a fresh address, in gift cards, or through a payment app with no reversal.
- A guarantee of success, a 100% track record, and a deadline that expires today.
- A quick move off the platform where they found you into Telegram, WhatsApp, or Instagram DMs.
For contrast: I ask you to describe what happened before anything else, I tell people the answer is no when it is no, and I get paid after your crypto is back. Wallet material only ever changes hands after a free assessment and a signed contract, over a channel you chose, and never as the price of releasing your own money.
The longer checklist, which you should apply to me as rigorously as to anyone else, is here: How to tell a legitimate crypto recovery service from a scam.
The scam that hunts recovery victims
If you have posted anywhere about losing crypto, you are now on a list. Within hours, replies and DMs arrive: an "expert" on Instagram or Telegram, a "cyber forensics" account, a stranger who says a specialist got their coins back last month and here is the handle. Some of those recommendations are posted by the same operation that runs the "expert" account. Some of them use my name, because a real business with a real founder and real reviews is a useful costume.
This is a second fraud aimed at people who have already lost money once, which is why it works. Losing crypto makes people stressed, embarrassed, and in a hurry, and that is exactly the state the pattern selects for.

Sites with similar names
Three domains in this niche have confusingly similar names. Only one of them is me.
- walletrecovery.info (this site) is mine: David Veksler, Veksler Consulting LLC, Denver, Colorado.
- walletrecoveryservices.com is a different, long-established business run by "Dave Bitcoin," operating since 2013. It is a competitor, not a scam, and it has no connection to me. If you meant to contact them, contact them directly rather than through anyone who offers to introduce you.
- walletrecoveryservice.com (singular) is a third, separate domain. It is not mine and I have no relationship with it. Judge it with the same checklist you would apply to me.
Two of us are named David, which does not help. The point stands either way: verify the specific business you think you are dealing with, using that business's own published contact details.
If you already paid someone using my name
I am sorry. Here is what is worth doing, in order.
- Do not send a second payment. No "release fee," no "tax," no "final verification." There are no recovered funds waiting behind that payment. This is the step where most of the money is lost.
- Preserve the evidence. Save profile links and usernames, the full email headers, every wallet address, transaction ID, screenshots of the conversation, and the amounts and dates.
- Report it. File with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center and with the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. A report will not reverse a transaction, but it feeds the cases that do occasionally reach a prosecution, and it is free.
- Report the account to whatever platform it used, and to the exchange if you can name one that received the funds.
- If a card, bank transfer, or payment app was involved, call them today. Fiat rails sometimes have a reversal window. Crypto does not.
- Expect the follow-up. Victim lists get resold, and a "recovery of your recovery" offer is the same fraud a second time. So is a message from a "law firm" or "regulator" that wants a fee to return your funds.
- If my name was used, tell me at [email protected]. I cannot get your money back, and neither can anyone else. I do want the details of the accounts and addresses being used, so I can report them.
To be direct about the limits: money already sent to a scammer is gone, and any service that tells you otherwise is selling you the next stage of the same scam.
Vet me the same way
Everything you would need to check is published, and none of it requires talking to me first.
- Who I am, with a real name, history, and press.
- What I charge, stated on the site rather than sized to your balance.
- The contract you would sign, and what happens to your data afterward.
- My PGP key, for verifying that a message is genuinely from me.
- What I cannot do, which is the part scammers never publish.
- Customer results and press.
Straight answers
Is WalletRecovery.info a scam? No. It is Veksler Consulting LLC, Colorado ID #20218030311, a registered Denver business run by David Veksler under a written contract with published, success-only pricing and no upfront fee. Impersonators do use the name, so verify the person you are talking to using the checks above.
Someone claiming to be David Veksler messaged me first. Is that you? No. I never contact anyone first, on any platform. Every unsolicited message claiming to be me or this company is an impersonator, however much they seem to know about your case.
How do I prove I am talking to the real David? Ask for a message signed with my published PGP key, write to [email protected] yourself rather than replying, call +1 214-659-1775, and look up Veksler Consulting LLC in the Colorado business registry.
Do you ever ask for an upfront payment, a release fee, or my seed phrase? No upfront payment and no release fee, ever. I am paid only after recovery succeeds. I do not ask anyone to hand over a seed phrase to prove ownership.
Is this the same business as walletrecoveryservices.com? No. That is a separate, established competitor run by "Dave Bitcoin" since 2013, with no connection to me. walletrecoveryservice.com is a third, unrelated domain.
I already paid an impersonator. Can you get it back? No, and nobody can. A completed blockchain transaction cannot be reversed. Do not pay anyone who says otherwise. Report it to IC3 and the FTC, and send me the details so the accounts can be reported.
