Description
They appear as the first google result when searching "lost item at X airport" or similar. They offer "The smartest most efficient/simplest/fastest/easiest recovery service for lost property. Simply the fastest and most convenient way to recover your lost items with the best success rate." They send automated emails for a few weeks in which they "inform" you of any progress. The update is that your item hasn't been found but there's still hope. Ultimately they say they're sorry but your item hasn't been found in over 2-3 weeks. The truth is they do not look for your item, the company doesn't exist and the communications are automated and unmonitored.
