In early 2025, I was lured into investing through a “financial advisor” I met on LinkedIn. He claimed to represent a regulated brokerage firm and even provided what looked like legitimate credentials and licenses. I started small—$500—then gradually increased my investment to $14,000, thinking I was building a solid portfolio in forex and commodities. But when I tried to withdraw any of it, I hit a wall. First, they told me I needed to pay a “tax clearance fee,” then a “transfer release fee.” That’s when I knew I’d been conned. I reported the incident to my bank, the SEC, and local authorities, but no one could do much. I came across REREVARIS while searching for recovery services, and after reading their policy (especially their “no upfront payment” rule), I reached out. The process took about a week, but in the end, they managed to recover $10,300. I didn’t get it all back, but I got more than I expected—and it gave me closure.
