In September 2024, I was contacted by what I thought was a legitimate financial broker after downloading a trading app I found on social media. They offered to manage my money and promised low-risk, high-return investments in forex and commodities. The broker was friendly, knowledgeable, and even gave me a login to what looked like a real trading platform. I started with AUD $1,000 and eventually invested nearly $17,800 over two months. But when I requested a withdrawal, the excuses started: “We need to verify your identity,” “There’s a pending profit tax,” “Please deposit more to meet withdrawal criteria.” Classic scam moves. I felt embarrassed and furious. I reported it to Scamwatch and my bank, but they couldn’t help. I almost gave up until I found REREVARIS in a financial safety forum. After 10 weeks of steady work—including a forensic audit, communication with the exchange’s compliance department, and assistance filing international fraud claims—REREVARIS helped me recover AUD $11,200. It wasn’t everything, but it was far more than I expected. They kept me updated every 1–2 weeks and never asked for money upfront. They charged 20% of the recovered amount, which I was fine with given the result.
