Macen Forensics: its “Company Number” belongs to a company dissolved in 2023
👉 What you need to know…
- macenforensics.tech presents itself as “Macen Forensics LLC”, an international firm recovering stolen funds.
- Its “Company Number” (11049149) belongs to Kittenforce Ltd, a UK company dissolved in June 2023: the number is not proof of existence, it is borrowed.
- The site displays several familiar recovery-scam warning signs, including unsupported figures, generic template text and a form that collects personal data.
- A victim describes the mechanism: “virtual funds” displayed on screen, then a demand for fees to “release” them.
- The domain was registered in December 2023 and has been flagged in reports since April 2025: “They make you pay for their services and refund nothing.”
A “firm” displaying the number of a dissolved company
macenforensics.tech presents itself as “Macen Forensics LLC” and describes the business as “your strategic advantage in fraud recovery and security”. The site claims to have “a team of seasoned legal professionals” and lists an address in Arlington, Virginia (5634 20th St N), a US phone number (+1 (432) 306-1898) and a “Company Number”, 11049149, in the footer.
The number can be checked in the UK’s Companies House register. It shows that number 11049149 belongs to… Kittenforce Ltd, a private company registered in Derby, whose registered office is “19 Hare Edge Drive, Oakwood, Derby”, dissolved on 6 June 2023.
Displaying the registration number of a dissolved British company does not substantiate Macen Forensics LLC’s identity. The professional façade falls apart when checked: the site uses the registration number of a dissolved company.
Figures that cannot be verified
The site displays statistics that are not supported by any independently verifiable evidence: “5 K+ clients”, “71+ global jurisdictions”, “7 M+ recovered USD”, “13+ corporate partners”. No verifiable testimonial, no identifiable client, no document.
The “services” descriptions are generic template texts, copied verbatim: the binary options section explains that “binary options are a type of financial product classified as an exotic option” and that “binary options trading may seem like a new speculative market, but they’ve existed since 1974”. These read like generic encyclopedia excerpts rather than evidence of specialist expertise.
Finally, the site offers an “Access Service” form asking for full name, email, phone number, country, amount lost and type of scam: a familiar data-collection tactic used by recovery scams: the information may be passed on or reused in later scam attempts.
The mechanism described by a victim
A victim’s account posted on the Signal-Arnaques forum in December 2025 describes the scheme precisely:
“They manipulate you by accessing the application and making virtual funds appear, asking you to install a new node, then they ask you to pay fees to recover the funds found. Everything is virtual and fake.” (testimony published on the Signal-Arnaques forum, 17/12/2025)
This is a familiar recovery-room tactic: the victim is led to believe that their funds have been found, then asked to pay to “release” them. In this type of scheme, the payment is typically lost and the promised funds are not recovered.
Reports about the site have appeared since April 2025. One of them sums up the complaints: “They make you pay for their services and refund nothing.”
A shortlink network
macenforensics.tech is promoted through the same channels as other recovery rooms: short links (urls.fr/p7O6ZR, urls.fr/vXSe3e, urls.fr/29k3Kt) distributed in comments and unsolicited messages. In May 2026, a user reported that a urls.fr link “redirects to macenforensics.tech” after their antivirus displayed a “blocked phishing page” warning. In August 2026, a moderator flagged a comment that “wants to send victims of investment scams to macenforensics.tech to be scammed a second time”.
Gridinsoft gives the site a trust score of 1 out of 100 and displays a “Store Scam Warning”.

What to do if someone offers to “recover” your money
The golden rule is simple: be suspicious of any “recovery” service that contacts you first or asks for payment before acting. If someone calls, messages you or sends you a short link promising to recover your funds in exchange for payment, treat it as a recovery scam: ignore it and report it.
If you have lost money in an investment or crypto scam, you should contact the relevant official agency directly:
- United States: report to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) and, for cryptocurrency-related losses, to the FBI’s IC3 (ic3.gov). Your bank or crypto exchange may also have a fraud team.
- United Kingdom: report to Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk).
- Canada: report to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (antifraudcentre.ca).
- EU countries: contact the European Consumer Centre in your country via europa.eu/consumers.
