Does anyone have first-hand experience with the for-profit companies that claim to be able to help recover funds?

One claims to attempt to track wallet (presumably at an exchange) then work with law enforcement to retrieve funds
Another essentially says "ask the scammer to refund your money"

I'm very skeptical of these companies -- as I understand they all require payment up-front, and they all require law enforcement involvement to actually recover funds. Which means that you could potentially have just as high a probability of recovering funds without the for-profit company in the middle.

Anyone have actual experience with them?

I do not have any experience with companies promising this but there is no way they can offer a service and take money on it legitimately when there is no way they could get that money back. If you have been scammed I do not think a scammer will suddenly be willing to give you your money back just because a company representing you have asked for it back they would just ignore it. These companies are scammers too.
