About 90% of the recovery agencies are fake agencies and scam the victims a second time. So give an agency the scammers BTC address and ask them how they recover it and if the success is guaranteed. If they guarantee it to you then it's a fake agency. They cannot know it at this stage because they don't know if the scammer stil has the money to claim it back and they don't know if he is in a jurisdiction friendly to yours. If they give a realistic answer post it in a forum like here and ask others if it makes sense what they advise. I had a lot of clients who got in the first place cheated by agencies without expertise in this area. Those agencies only need two departments: 1. the sales department and 2. the accounts receivable department. But they don't hire specialists because they don't do anything for you, they only receive your payment.
The privacy of any Bitcoin (BTC) address was calculated. The lower the score, the more likely the owner can be traced. Just do a "bitcoin privacy check".
