In February 2025, I came across an online post promoting what appeared to be a legitimate charity campaign. It claimed to be raising cryptocurrency donations for disaster relief in war-affected regions. The website seemed real, and the stories shared on their social media pages were emotional and convincing. Wanting to make a difference, I decided to donate 500 K USDC to support the cause. At first, everything appeared normal. I received a confirmation message and even a receipt. But within days, things started to unravel. Their social media pages went inactive, their website vanished, and every attempt I made to contact them failed. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. I felt crushed. Not just because I lost a massive amount of money, but because I believed I was helping people in desperate need. It was one of the worst feelings, being tricked into giving with good intentions, only to find out it was all a lie. I blamed myself and felt incredibly stupid for falling for it. A friend of my sister from Illinois heard what had happened and recommended that I contact Techy Force Cyber Retrieval. She had worked with them before and said they were honest and effective. I didn’t know what to expect, but I reached out. From the start, they made me feel heard. They asked for every detail of the scam and walked me through each step of the process. Their team assisted me in gathering all the necessary evidence, including wallet addresses, chat logs, screenshots, and transaction records. They also assisted me in filing a report with the proper authorities.
Most importantly, they worked to trace the flow of my stolen funds. While I wasn’t able to recover the full 500 K USDC, they successfully retrieved a meaningful portion. Just as important, they gave me clarity and peace of mind during a time when I felt completely lost. That changed the way I approach online giving. I still believe in helping others, but I’ve learned to verify every organization before sending anything. The internet can be a dangerous place, and scams like this can happen to anyone, even when your intentions are good. If you’ve ever been scammed in crypto, I strongly suggest contacting Techy Force Cyber Retrieval. They’re not just skilled at what they do; they care.
