“It seemed legitimate at first, but when I couldn’t withdraw my funds, reality sank in. I’d sent roughly $3,200 in Bitcoin, only to be told I needed to pay an additional $1,000 “unlock fee.” That’s when I knew I’d been scammed. The shame was overwhelming, and I hesitated to tell anyone.
I stumbled across a post about FRAUD SHIELD RECOVERY INC and decided to reach out. They were professional, didn’t demand upfront fees, and simply requested the wallet addresses while explaining their tracing process.
In the end, they tracked my Bitcoin through multiple wallets, discovered some had landed on a major exchange, and assisted me in filing a report. I recovered about 80% of my funds.”
“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.”
