I was devastated when my local computer shop told me they could not recover the contents of my USB. It had picked up a virus the one and only time I had used it while travelling overseas and I was told I had lost all of the precious holiday photos that were on there.
A friend recommended I try and take the USB to someone who specialises in data recovery and that is the best advice I have ever taken! Paolo rang me within 24 hours of receiving my USB to tell me the good news. I could not believe he had saved them all, and for such a good price!
The professionalism and quality of service they provide is fantastic. I would recommend them as the first point of call to anyone who is serious about recovering their data.

We had a USB that died most unmercifully upon us. I contacted Craig at the Melbourne office who helped us get everything back. Thanks Craig for the good, honest service. Highly recommended!
While our IT guys were installing my wife's new work system I asked them to have a look at the home PC that had been performing erratically. They took it away and I expected to hear back about some minor problem. Instead they said the hard disk had crashed and despite all their best efforts they couldn't fix the problem. While my wife and I have backup systems for our work PCs we had nothing similar for the home PC. This was not good news. There was a long history of home related correspondence and documents and a large collection of photos taken by our two daughters that were saved on this computer. Our IT guys recommended Payam, so I took the hard drive over to North Sydney hoping for the best. As it turned out I was not disappointed with Payam being able to recover everything. They put it on an external drive, which is now the backup, and all ended well.

Payam was very effective, efficient and professional in recovering all data from my MacBook Pro, good Sydney location and open to meet post business demand, (till 6pm), worth a try every data issue time!
Ade Newie
Professional+++, good at what they do, fast efficient, delivery. Lost 10 years of family photos, everyone else said the data was unrecoverable. Highly recommended.
Adrien Lang
Very happy with the service. Just keep doing what you are doing. It’s great.

Everyone dreads that moment when a computer of hard disk fails and you need data recovery services. To start with, they are never cheap and you are left wondering if it will be possible to recover your precious data. I am so glad we came here and got everything back. Payam were so profession and prompt and gave great advice. Thank you!
Paul Luxford
My hard drive stopped working and so I took it to Payam Data Recovery and they were able to get all my valuable photos and videos and info back without any issues. I am really happy and will never hesitate to suggest Payam to anyone.
Joe Saxton
Was very surprised they were able to recover all my photos and files from a ocean-water damaged Galaxy Note. Very happy indeed
Ross Smith
Further to your email regarding the data recovery job you undertook for me, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved. Your persistence, skill and professionalism in recovering my data is very much appreciated. While the timeframe blew out and the effort required to recover the data proved to be much more than was expected, you billed me what you initially quoted and kept me informed throughout the process. Thank you again.
Ceasar Levine
I can only say wonderful things about my experience with Kevin at Payam. Kevin recovered all data on a USB drive - a happy ending. Thank you so much!
Tim Knaggs
Vinh & Paolo, a big thank you for recovering all my data lost when my iPhone tried to swim recently. Having no recent backup I was bereft until meeting you. I could not believe your promptness nor that I had so much data hanging in space. You are professional at Payam. Long after the cost is forgotten I have all the information crucial to my existence. Thank you. Tim

I will never be able to thank PAYAM enough for the great job they did in recovering some very precious photos I had accidently deleted. They were very professional, quick and pleasant and kind enough to help me download their disc to my computer when I returned home. These Magic Men are also my heros - I just didn't believe a recovery could be done. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, boys.

As a photographer and videographer, my external hard drives are my life! So when one of my harddrives died on me when I was completing a backup- I was a bit of a wreck. I had client's work on there that I had to recover. After taking it to a local computer repair place, I was disheartened when they told me they could not complete the job. Fortunately, however, they recommended Payam Data Recovery. As soon as I arrived, Craig carefully explained in detail their services and tactics to recover my content. I immediately felt reassured and went home feeling much more positive. Long story short- ALL of my data was recovered and I was able to finish my work! Hopefully I don't have to see Craig again, but if I do, I know I'll be in good hands. Excellent customer service and I have no hesitation recommending this business!!
Lynette Lamont
Fantastic service - very professional, helpful and friendly ... and they retrieved my data!!!
Sarah Hidayati
I am surprised to see how you recover the data and the good communication provided. Initially, I though the data would lost anyway. Keep up the good work guys.
Rosalie Thomas
A huge thank you to all at Payam! Your customer service was impeccable! You guys really go about and beyond. You kept me up to speed with the data recovery process with step by step emails and phone calls. I honestly cannot thank you enough!

I’m very happy with the data recovery work done. Overall, it was a great service provided and I will definitely recommend it to others.
Emily B.
Fantastic service from start to finish. Professional, fast and friendly. Thank you for saving us a lot of time, money and heartache from lost files. Kevin, you rock!!
After my 1Tb drive containing Videos of two weddings, Family videos and photos events and irreplaceable data died,. I nearly lost faith in computers.,(Yes this is the drive I backed up the files to). My computer supplier could not recover the files and referred me to PAYAM. Fearing the worst I spoke to Mike and Payam who impressed me with their caring and supportive suggestions offering me hope for a complete recovery of all data. Not only did they achieve this even though the hard drive was completely corrupted but they allowed me to verify that all the files were readable and that I was satisfied before payment was made. A price had been negotiated beforehand with which I was extremely satisfied with. I was contacted by Payam a few days later just to check that I was completely satisfied , with an offer to help if I had any problems. I have no hesitation in recommending their Gold Star service to anyone in similar stressful circumstances. They are Competent Diligent and Caring and as far as I am concerned they are like Intensive Care the save the data and alleviate the stress of the customer. Pardon the pun but you have nothing To looSE See You Next time Mike
Sarah Ashley
I can't recommend Payam Data Recovery highly enough. They recovered most of my data from a broken memory card that was in the worst possible condition. In fact, it crumbled when I handed it to Vinh, who straight away reassured me there was hope. And to my amazement, 99% of my photos were recovered a few weeks later. So, anyone out there who is panicking, don't stress, till you visit these guys. I also want to mention the wonderful service I received from Vinh, who called and emailed me regularly to give me up dates, as to where he and his team were at, in regards to recovering my data. Thank you so much, to Vinh, and all the wonderful staff at Payam.

Payam is a magician! My network (along with my attached hard drive) got fried in a storm whilst I was away on holidays. I consulted friends that worked in IT and even paid a computer store check my hard drive out and they told me that I'd have to pay them again for a quote to have it looked at by a forensic mob. I did my own investigative work and found Payam through Google. I read all the other reviews, checked out the website and compared it to others I had found. I even mystery shopped several companies by calling over the phone and asking Qs about their services and costs to recover the data. I chose to use Payam and I agree with the professionalism and response times reported in the previous reviews. In the end I got my data and photos copied onto a new hard drive and it cost much less than what some other companies were quoting (try $1K + interstate registered postage!). I can't thank Payam and his team enough and thoroughly recommend them for data recovery services (although I hope not to have to go through the experience again!). Extremely happy 🙂
Anthony A Malelis
I was blown away with the service and could not be happier. I would recommend to anyone!
Karen Boulton-Welc
I was devastated when my local computer shop told me they could not recover the contents of my External HDD. They could ghost it, but couldn't get the files to open. The young fellow in the shop, after much research myself, gave me PAYAM's web address and I contacted them in their Sydney office. (much cheaper than everyone else I contacted) They got all of my files back except 1. How good is that....... Would definitely recommend them to anyone with Drive problems!
John Cassey
We are an Australian charity involved in overseas aid. All our media (video, images) for the past 6 years had been moved to an external hard drive - which then failed. Local experts referred us to Payam after being unable to recover data. Lachlan made the process of sending the disc easy and was at all times attentive, clear and professional about options. The eventual cost was beyond our means. Knowing we were a charity, Payam offered to recover the data at a substantially reduced cost and put it onto a complimentary hard drive. You guys are great!!!!!! Thank you
Mitch Graham
The staff was friendly and very professional. The most amazing part is they delivered as promised.
Sarah M.
Very easy to deal with and very helpful staff. All my data was recovered.
Ian Mansell
Amazing service from start to end. My drive data was saved! Payam held onto the drive whist I was on holiday, then followed with a call to arrange suitable delivery on my return. I wish all companies were like this.

I used to work in IT. I'm the guy people (still) come to when they lose their data. I recently did a wedding on a professional SLR, recorded to a compact flash card (very reliable). Somehow, I managed to corrupt my FAT32 partition and corrupt the entire card. I only know that because PAYAM told me. I thought I had busted the hardware - the electronic internals. PAYAM are an honest company, no doubt about it. They charged very, very reasonably considering my circumstances, and they got onto the job faster than they had to. My data was successfully recovered, and my client did not even need to know I had an issue. My reputation is safe because of this company. Rock on.
Blair Harkness
Very happy with the service and result I received from the Auckland office of Payam. Very pleasant staff too. Fairly expensive, but a lot of time was involved, and I bought a new drive at a good price.
Bernie McComish
My hard drive died, the IT company I use could not recover any files. Panic, we run a business from home, many years of data etc gone plus all my precious photo’s. Layne, my IT specialist took it into Payam, they recovered all, in a timely &, efficiently manner, great service, would 100% recommend them. I owe them super good. WELL DONE THANK YOU
Raven V.
I couldn't be happier with the service I got from Payam. I saw 4 different companies before them who told me they would not be able to retrieve my lost photos. I was very distraught as I had just been on my first overseas holiday. Payam were able to get every single photo back. I would recommend them to everyone!
Lesley Leong
Super efficient, reliable, supportive service provided to me with my data 2 TB hdd. I am very impressed with the service and support provided by Payam Data Recovery in particular Leigh and Kane. Leigh provided the best advice and support from Day 1 from dropping in my hard drive, to assessing it and giving me a response within 24 hours (with no charge). To delivering all my data back (which was so important to my business) and explaining every step of the way. I received all my data near to 100% full data and perfection within 6 business days. My hard drive had bad sectors and encryption errors. These guys are AMAZING. I went to another data recovery business prior to meeting Leigh and the team and did not get near the result I was looking for. Leigh and the team at Payam put me at ease that they are able to salvage my data and they did! Definitely recommend them to anybody who needs data recovery and please go to them first as there are no initial consultation fee and they have the best equipment to do the job in efficient time. Thanks guys! With much appreciation Lesley

We contacted Payam data recovery recently following our hard drive crashing. Everything that was quoted was accomplished and we were impressed with their professional customer service. 5 stars!!
Stanley Campbell
My experience with Payam was extremely satisfying. The service provided by the staff at Payam from my initial email inquiry and throughout the process was highly professional and exceeded my expectations of service. Staff responded too promptly to emails and returning phone calls, regularly provided feedback regarding progress of my data recovery and bent over backwards to assist me when I collected my recovered data and answered all my questions in layman's terms. Thank you to all.

Your services were second to none and I couldn’t be happier.
I hope I don’t need your services in the future, but in any case, I wouldn’t hesitate to return
And to recommend to other people. Keep it up!
Kircy Jong
The service was extremely reliable and took the time to explain the problem as well as the solution. Very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
Tony Robbis
Clear, thorough and friendly communication throughout the process. They listened carefully to my needs and successfully recovered data for the lowest cost possible and in good time. Very impressive service.
Ceasar Levine
My hard drive fell off a desk last week. After talking to 2 other data recovery labs - Payam was the most helpful on the phone. They were the only company who gave me a fixed price and were recommended by Western Digital in New Zealand.
Jayne McCabe
I cannot rate the service provided by Payam Data Recovery highly enough! I have done a few big things in my life, such as getting married and building a house where you would reasonably expect to receive great service, but this exceeded even those!!! Payam are very transparent and upfront about the service they provide and so you can rest assured that they will do everything to get your data back. The emails I received along the way were both regular - so I never had to wonder what was going on - and they addressed every question before I had even thought of it. The shipping and payment process is simple and hassle free. This is a good, honest Australian company and the best at what they do. Thank you Payam for recovering my memories!

My business consists of many training programs which are in PPT format. Being too busy to back up files I was faced with the inevitable when I experienced a major disc crash. Many people I spoke with, both in Australia and in Hong Kong, told me that it was a lost cause to get the information back. Not Payam. They were able to recover almost all of my information and I am incredibly grateful to them for the service they offer. Lesson 1. Backup all data Lesson 2. If the situation does go snafu get in touch with Payam
Jason Whitehead
Very prompt professional and courteous service. Highly recommend!
I recently lost around 850Gb of data on my external hard drive through a crash/corruption, data which consisted of both business and personal data compiled over a period of ten years. I was absolutely devastated when I thought I'd lost it all, because most of it was either irreplaceable or replaceable only through thousands of hours work sourcing it from a wide range of external and internal areas
My computer IT guy in Sydney (A Little Help Computing Services) recommended Payam Data Recovery and whilst one of our businesses is based in Sydney, I live in Melbourne, which is where the disaster occurred. I was very pleasantly surprised when he advised that Payam also had an office in Melbourne, where I met Craig Nevans
Craig was great to deal with, very personable, friendly and efficient, and I am ecstatic that Payam have been able to recover the majority of my data. I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending their services!
Piotr Sawi
Fantastic, professional and efficient service. I got a quote for unreadable disk data recovery the next day after delivering disk to the North Sydney Office. The disk belonged to one of my clients which came out of G5 mac and contained all the billing information of my client including outstanding accounts for over $30000 so they didn't know who to chaise for payments. Sure you can find cheaper services in Sydney or post your hdd overseas but would/could you risk it? In my case the answer was NO so I gave it to the best data recovery people I knew - PAYAM. I was not mistaken. The disk clone would not boot in a Mac due to damage caused by hard drive failing for a period of time and trashing system files but all the accounting data I needed was recovered 100%. Client was very happy and I was very happy too. Don't risk it. Leave it with Payam.
Stephen Todd
My hard disc crashed and I lost everything. I took it to my local computer business that I deal with and they were unable to retrieve any of the disc contents. I had not backed up the disc for the past 8 months or more and had all of my work files as well as family photo's and important emails that were lost. I sent the disc to PAYAM and they were able to retrieve all of the contents completely and at an extremely reasonable price. I had trouble retrieving one of the hidden files as I have limited knowledge in that area. I rang Kevin at PAYAM and he walked me through the steps that enabled me to access the file and retrieve the information. I found their service, advice and help to be excellent and would highly recommend them.
Callie Smallwood
I was extremely happy with the work you completed recently! You were able to recover all my work, photos, music and everything I had asked for, also, every staff member I encounter was very polite and helpful, I will definitely recommend Payam Data Recovery to friends and family
Simone McDonald
Hey guys, I’m so happy and grateful for all the work you have done. I was afraid that I would have lost everything but you saved all my files. If I have any more troubles I’m definitely calling you guys.
Sam Krix
wow!
Kate Roulston
Amazing! Were able to recover data from dead iPhone so quickly! So thankful I got it all back. Thanks so much

I recently lost all of my photos off my second internal hard drive after having a DVD drive installed in 2 of my computers by a well known company. A friend in the computer industry recommended that I take my computer directly to Payam. I went over that afternoon and spoke to Paul. He went through all the options and prices available to me for the recovery. Although I had gone late in the day, Paul rang me the next day with information on the hard drive. The previous company had not only destroyed my photos but had mixed up my hard drives and connections between the 2 computers they were dealing with. It took a while to trace back where the mix-up occurred but with Paul's help I finally figured it out and I was able to get the correct drive to him for repair. I ended up with all of my photos back and all the hard drives and connections in the right location. Payam only charged me for the recovery of the damaged disk throughout this whole complicated process. Paul then rang to make sure that I had all the correct information. Many thanks to Paul for all of his help. I always appreciate great customer service and I got it by the bucket loads at Payam.
