Brief information about the “Aegis” Society
LLC “Aegis” – chargeback from 5,000 rubles
There are many companies on the market that promise victims of broker fraud to recover lost money. LLC “Aegis” is one of them. How effective is the organization and can it be trusted? Let’s figure it out.
What is known about LLC “Aegis”?
“Aegis” provides legal assistance in recovering investments illegally appropriated by brokers through the chargeback procedure. The company was founded in 2018. It is registered in Sochi at 26 Gorkogo Street, office No. 14.
Who heads the organization? There is no information about this on the website. But users of the resource have the opportunity to remotely get acquainted with the chief legal consultant – Olga Nedyak. She is presented as a chargeback specialist with solid experience.
The second person featured on the site is Nikita Alekseevich Erzyaykin. He is a customer service specialist, whose duties include communicating with victims of illegal trading. Former bank employees also work in the staff. The number of them and their experience is unknown.
How much do LLC “Aegis” services cost?
The company has a price list for services, which includes three tariff packages.
- “Full” – for a damage amount up to 500,000 rubles. The package price starts from 11,900 rubles.
- “All inclusive” – for a damage amount up to 1,500,000 rubles. The package price starts from 24,900 rubles.
- “Individual” – for a damage amount from 1,500,000 rubles with an expanded range of services. The package price starts from 50,000 rubles.
Legal service prices are so high that the organization offers installment plans for clients. Advance payment is mandatory, but the extent of it is unknown. If the chargeback does not occur, the advance payment will not be refunded.
The minimum amount the company is willing to fight for is 5,000 rubles. At the same time, the minimum price for legal services is 11,900 rubles.
All clients have access to the “Instruction” tariff plan. The package price is 5,000 rubles. This is a paid consultation that provides information on chargeback with a step-by-step description of the process. It is designed for those who wish to conduct the procedure independently.
How does the company work?
Collaboration with the company starts with filling out a form. By the way, there are many such forms on the site. One prompts to check the broker (this form pops up every 30 seconds and needs to be closed to read the necessary information), another – to ask a specialist a question, the third – to choose a tariff, the fourth – to request a callback.
After submitting the form, company employees will study the issue and make a decision on the advisability of a chargeback. The client is required to provide all information about interactions with the trading company. Typically, these are documents confirming investment, chat screenshots with the broker, and so on.
If there is enough data, the refund procedure, which includes 6 steps, begins.
- The company’s lawyers will prepare and submit a transaction dispute application to the buyer’s bank.
- The bank will review the materials and, if everything is in order, will pass them to the international payment system.
- If the IPS deems the victim’s claims of broker fraud legitimate, the case will be sent to the buyer’s bank.
- The bank will conduct its investigation and contact the broker.
- The broker has the opportunity to challenge the trader’s claims. If he fails, he must return the money.
- The seller’s bank will transfer the amount to the buyer’s bank, and the latter will return the amount to the buyer.
The procedure can take up to six months. The company does not guarantee a successful chargeback. Regardless of the outcome, the client still pays for the service.
Advantages and disadvantages of the company
The website provides detailed information about the refund service and the “perks” that the client will receive from cooperating with LLC “Aegis.” There are video reviews. All of them, without exception, criticize brokers and praise the aforementioned company. There is a hotline. You can ask an operator a question online, but do not expect a comprehensive and useful answer.
The main drawback of this agency is the very high cost of services. If a person needs to recover, for example, 20,000 rubles, it makes no sense for them to turn here because more than half of this amount will go towards paying for the chargeback. Also, the pushiness is noticeable: check the broker, call, contact. The site is full of such forms.
There is very little information about the company on the internet. Perhaps because it is young. There are reviews, but they are mostly negative, whereas only positive ones are on the official website. Can LLC “Aegis” be trusted? The question remains unanswered.
