I fell victim to an “official-looking” government grant scam that required a small “crypto processing fee.” It started with just $500, but they kept pushing me for more, saying it was needed for taxes or verification. I ended up losing nearly $12,000. When I realized it was a scam, I broke down. I was supposed to use that money for medical expenses. I felt betrayed and angry. A friend who volunteers with a local seniors’ group gave me Mrs. Napua Francesca’s contact. I was nervous, but desperate for help. She didn’t promise the world. Instead, she explained the steps, what could realistically be done, and what my options were. Her team acted quickly and efficiently. I can’t say all was recovered, but a good portion was — and that made a world of difference. If this has happened to you, please don’t isolate yourself. There are good people who can help.
