| Comments: | We are concerned that Fraud Investigation & Repatriation Authority (FIRA) is pretending to be a government agency in the United States and operating a recovery scam jointly with Ladew Law. We note that FIRA is not listed as a government department or agency in the United States as claimed. We are aware of a New Zealand resident who was the victim of an earlier scam was approached by FIRA and Ladew Law, who offered to help recover money that had been lost. We recommend caution when dealing with FIRA and Ladew Law.
