I also called them and got that phone recovery is priced at $300 to $2,500 and HDDs/SSDs are priced at $500 to $5,000.

## Script
|
|
|
|
Yesterday, Louis Rossmann published a video about WeRecoverData, who threatened him with a lawsuit for publishing verifiable statements about their service. One of the issues he highlighted are fake business locations, where a business substitutes an actual operation with a drop off location using a third-party, but it is presented as a service location on Google Maps.
|
|
|
|
I decided to see if there are any videos of the Denver location. There aren't. So I went there to see if it is a virtual office.

After getting home, I decided to call them. Interestingly, I called after business hours, but they answered anyhow.

In his video, Louis also highlighted how WeRecoverData claims not to publish success rates, but their website has a claimed success rate on every page. Today, he published a follow-up about how WeRecoverData has wiped the Internet Archive's copies of its website and blocked them from archiving them in the future. ~~Healthy businesses don't do that.~~
|
|
|
|
I checked just now, and they've removed that claim from their website. As you can see here, DuckDuckGo hasn't yet updated its description to reflect the change, providing yet more clear evidence that this claim was factual when it was made.
