In early 2025, I got caught up in what I thought was a professional opportunity to grow my finances. Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn claiming to be an investment strategist for a fintech firm. He introduced me to what he described as an AI-powered trading algorithm that supposedly minimized risk while delivering consistent weekly returns. The setup looked airtight. I was shown a personalized dashboard, access to mock trading history, and even got weekly “account statements” that looked professionally done. Over the next two and a half months, I invested a total of $41,600—a combination of ACH transfers, USDT (Tether) sent through Binance, and a $500 prepaid Visa card for “international clearance.” When I requested a partial withdrawal, they stalled and eventually claimed I needed to add $8,000 more to unlock my account. That’s when the alarm bells finally rang, and I realized I’d been defrauded. I submitted complaints to my bank, filed a cybercrime report, and contacted both the SEC and local authorities—but nothing seemed to move forward. Eventually, I was referred to FORENSIQO by someone in a crypto fraud forum. They listened to my full case, reviewed all my records, and assured me they’d do everything they could. Just over a month later, I got an email: $31,900 had been recovered. One portion was returned through my bank via a chargeback process, while the rest was tracked to a dormant wallet address that had been flagged by an exchange. Their 24% success fee was only deducted after the money hit my account. I honestly didn’t mind—it was a small price to pay for what they achieved. More than anything, they gave me hope when I had none left.
