I came across what looked like this new investment platform. It had a sleek interface, promised consistent automated returns, and claimed to use AI to manage crypto trades with minimal risk. Out of curiosity, I created a free account. Not long after, I received a message through the platform from someone identifying himself as a senior account advisor. He seemed professional, explained everything clearly, and walked me through the process of making my first deposit. It all felt very structured and legitimate. Over the next couple of months, I invested a total of $36,800 through a combination of bank transfers, USDT (Tether), and even a $600 “platform upgrade fee” I was told was required to access premium trading tools. My account dashboard showed solid daily gains, and I received what looked like official statements and support emails. But when I attempted my first withdrawal, I was told I needed to “verify” my account with another deposit. That’s when things unraveled. I realized the platform was fake and the advisor who’d been guiding me was part of the scam. I filed complaints with my bank, the FTC, and the IC3, but nothing progressed. I felt stuck and defeated—until I read about FORENSIQO in an online forum for fraud victims. I submitted my case, not expecting much, but they responded quickly and took it seriously. After about six weeks, I got the update: $26,400 had been recovered. One portion came back through a successful bank dispute, and the rest from a crypto wallet that had been flagged on an exchange. They only charged their 23% recovery fee after the funds had been returned. What mattered most wasn’t just the money—it was the validation. Someone actually believed me, took action, and helped me get a part of my life back.
