As a recent immigrant, I explored cryptocurrency to grow my savings responsibly. An individual contacted me, claiming expertise in Bitcoin investments with guaranteed weekly returns. They cited success with other immigrants in Canada, shared convincing charts, screenshots, and offered video calls to build trust. I cautiously invested $500 initially, then $1,500, and later $50,000. The platform they provided showed my funds growing weekly, appearing legitimate. However, when I attempted to withdraw, I was pressured to pay additional “unlock fees,” “transfer fees,” and “account clearance” costs. After sending more money, the individual vanished, leaving me devastated with a loss of nearly $350,000 CAD—my entire savings. The shame of this loss made it difficult to share with my family. I reported the scam to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and my local police, though recovery seemed unlikely. Fortunately, I discovered Charlotte Scott and her exceptional team through a Reddit post. Their professional, empathetic approach—without false promises—helped recover my funds, restoring some hope. To newcomers around the World: Exercise extreme caution with unsolicited investment offers. Scammers prey on our aspirations to build a better future. Always verify credentials, ask critical questions, and never invest through unsolicited contacts. Protect your hard-earned money. #CryptoSafety #ScamAwareness #NewToCanada#NewToCryptoInvestment
