I think the only way you can provide this service by getting other people to trust you on it is to use an established escrow from the forum.

So if you want to recover a person's wallet and you can see let's say 1 btc in his address, you provide the exact same amount to the escrow so the client feels safe that even if his wallet gets compromised, he can claim back the funds from the escrow. And when you recover the wallet, you hand it over to the escrow, and they give you back your funds + 5% or whatever your charge is and hands back the account to the account owner.

Maybe that way people can trust you

since it's really hard to trust strangers on the internet.

And what happens if he simply cannot find the right seed - for real?
And what stops him to say he didn't manage to recover the seed, but actually having it and withdraw the funds a bit later?
And what stops others come with fake "service requests", although the keys are not from the wallet they say?
Do you really think that an experienced escrow would fall for this? (because it's clearly a trap)

Your second point makes sense. If the user actually recovers the seed but lies about it to the escrow and to the client and gets his money back from the escrow, it's very much possible that he can withdraw the money later from the wallet thus scamming the client. I didn't think it that way Tongue

true, this is not a trustworthy service. Lots of loopholes are there to be exploited in this case!
