"It seemed legitimate at first, but when I couldn\u2019t withdraw my funds, reality sank in. I\u2019d sent roughly $3,200 in Bitcoin, only to be told I needed to pay an additional $1,000 \u201cunlock fee.\u201d That\u2019s when I knew I\u2019d been scammed. The shame was overwhelming, and I hesitated to tell anyone.\r\n\r\nI stumbled across a post about FRAUD SHIELD RECOVERY INC and decided to reach out. They were professional, didn\u2019t demand upfront fees, and simply requested the wallet addresses while explaining their tracing process.\r\n\r\nIn 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."
