Has Nethertrace helped anyone with a pig-butchering scam recovery after losing hope?
Salam everyone, i'm reaching out here because i'm at my wit's end. i fell victim to one of those awful pig-butchering scams a few months ago. they strung me along for weeks, built up trust, and then, poof, everything was gone. we're talking a significant amount, honestly, it's making my family life really difficult. i've tried contacting local authorities, but honestly, it felt like i was talking to a wall. a friend mentioned [Nethertrace](https://nethertrace.co) and said they specialize in these kinds of crypto scams. i've been burned before by 'recovery' companies that just asked for upfront fees and then vanished, so i'm super hesitant. I just need to know if anyone here has had actual, verifiable success with Nethertrace after a pig-butchering incident, particularly if you thought your funds were completely gone. Any experiences, good or bad, would be a huge help right now. thanks in advance for any insights.
Invested in 'Forex Future' after meeting someone on a business networking app – now all gone. Any hope?
i really don't know what to do right now, i feel so stupid. i met this person on a professional networking app, you know, like for business connections? they seemed so legitimate, talking about global markets, trading strategies, very sophisticated. we moved to whatsapp after a few days, and then they started mentioning this 'Forex Future' platform, showing me screenshots of amazing returns. initially, i put in a small amount, like 500 euros, and it actually grew like crazy. i even withdrew a bit to my bank account, which made it feel super real. over about two months, i ended up investing almost 15,000 euros, thinking i was making smart moves for my future. then, overnight, my account on their site was 'frozen' due to 'regulatory issues.' they're asking for a 30% tax payment to unfreeze it, which obviously i don't have, and it just feels like another trap. my stomach is in knots. is there *any* point in reporting this in Germany? will anyone even care? i feel so ashamed.
