Why Reclaimit Exists...
Reclaimit exists because our founder has been where you are now..
Taiwo Kamson has lost money to authorised push payment (APP) scams more than once. Getting it back meant chasing his bank, being turned down, and taking his case to the Financial Ombudsman Service. It took persistence, but he succeeded.
The experience showed him how hard that process is for anyone who has just been scammed. The rules are unfamiliar, the deadlines are tight, and decisions can feel arbitrary. He founded Reclaimit to give other victims the clear, practical guidance he wished he'd had.
Experience from both sides..
Taiwo now works in counter-fraud. He is a Cifas-accredited Counter Fraud Manager, trained to run complex fraud investigations, design fraud awareness campaigns and put prevention strategies in place. He is working towards Cifas's Fraud Prevention Specialist qualification.
That gives him an unusual view of your case. He knows what it's like to be the victim, and he knows how banks assess and decide reimbursement claims.
Before founding Reclaimit, Taiwo was a consultant with Robert Walters and Michael Page, two of the UK's leading professional recruitment firms. There he advised organisations and candidates across financial services.
London and Lagos...
Born in Britain to Nigerian parents, Taiwo grew up between London and Lagos. He understands how fraud works, and how it is fought, in both places. That includes the growing number of scams that cross borders between the UK and Nigeria.
Reclaimit is based in London.
If you've lost money to a scam, you don't have to work out the process alone.
