“At 72, I don’t spend much time online, but I was lured into a “crypto investment club” through a Facebook group. They said they helped retirees like me grow their savings. They even had testimonials from people who looked like me, spoke like me. It felt personal and genuine.
They told me I’d be making passive income in just weeks. I trusted them — and invested $15,000 from my IRA. When I asked to withdraw the profits, they said I had to pay taxes upfront. That’s when I knew something was off. I tried calling, emailing, but the lines were dead.
I couldn’t sleep for weeks. The shame was unbearable. Then I read a story online from someone else who had been scammed — and mentioned Mrs. Napua Francesca. I reached out hesitantly, expecting another scam. But instead, I found empathy.
Her team treated me with dignity. They were patient, honest, and diligent. We worked together for months, and I eventually recovered most of what I’d lost. But even more importantly, I got closure.
If you’ve been taken advantage of, please don’t hide in silence. Speak up. There are real people who want to help.”
