pretty new to all this—crypto, wallets, exchanges. I’d just made my first BTC purchase and joined a Telegram group that seemed helpful at first. Then someone DM’d me claiming they were a “crypto coach.” They offered to guide me through a passive income project that “guaranteed returns.” It felt legit… until I realized I couldn’t withdraw my money. I’d sent around $3,200 in BTC and was told I had to pay another $1,000 “unlock fee.” That’s when it hit me—I’d been scammed. I felt sick. I didn’t even want to tell anyone because I was so ashamed. I came across a post about FRAUD SHIELD RECOVERY INC, and on a whim, I contacted them. They didn’t pressure me or ask for money up front. They just asked for the wallet addresses and explained how tracing worked. Long story short: they were able to follow my BTC through several wallets and identify that some of it ended up at a major exchange. They helped file a report, and I got back about 80% of my funds.
