Anyone recovered funds from a fake 'bank' platform with Nethertrace?
Hi everyone, i'm Ciara from Belfast. I'm really in a bad place right now. I lost a significant amount of crypto to a scam that pretended to be an online investment banking platform. They were so convincing, even had a slick app and everything. I thought I was putting my money into a legitimate fixed-deposit crypto account, and for a few weeks, the numbers even went up, which just made me put more in. Then one day, poof, everything's gone, and all communication stopped. I've been researching recovery options and came across Nethertrace. They've been responsive, and their initial assessment seems professional, but I'm just so wary after being scammed once already. Has anyone here had any experience recovering funds from a similar fake 'bank' or investment platform using [Nethertrace](https://nethertrace.co)? I'm talking about schemes that totally mimicked real financial institutions. Any advice or shared experiences would be really helpful right now.
Lost everything to 'Tinder System Security' after falling for someone online. Any hope for reporting from Ireland?
i'm pretty devastated, tbh. i met 'liam' on a dating app a few months ago, and we just clicked. he seemed so genuine, talked about his family, sent me pictures. after a while, he started talking about this crypto platform, 'Tinder System Security,' saying he'd made really good money there and he could help me do the same. like an idiot, i trusted him. i put in what i had, then more when he said there were bonuses. when i tried to withdraw, the platform just said 'system security restrictions' and demanded a 'security deposit' to unlock it, otherwise the funds were frozen indefinitely. that's when i knew. he disappeared right after. i've reported it to the garda but they didn't seem to know much about crypto scams. i feel so stupid and heartbroken. is there anything else i can do from ireland? who should i actually contact that might understand this 'system security' thing?
Has anyone used Nethertrace for a fake investment platform recovery, especially after secondary scams?
Hey everyone, i'm feeling pretty awful after getting scammed out of a significant chunk of my savings. It started with a fake investment platform – classic pig butchering model, lost about 35k USDT. To make things worse, in my desperation, i fell for a *second* recovery scam, where they promised to get my funds back if i paid more crypto. Lost another 10k there. Someone recommended [Nethertrace](https://nethertrace.co) to me, saying they actually do legitimate tracing and recovery work. I'm so weary of being scammed again, but also completely desperate. Has anyone here had experience with Nethertrace, particularly if you were a victim of a fake investment platform *and then* a recovery scam? What was the process like? Were they upfront about fees? Any success stories, or warnings I should be aware of? I've been researching them, they seem to be based in the Netherlands, but it's hard to tell what's real feedback these days. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. My head's a mess.
