My 'new partner' convinced me to invest in CoinEgg and now I've lost years of savings. What do I do?
I'm just... completely devastated. I met someone online a few months ago, and we really clicked. He was so charming and attentive, and he seemed genuinely interested in me. After a while, he started talking about crypto, saying he had this amazing opportunity with CoinEgg, and how much money he was making. He badgered me gently to put in a little, just to see. I started with a small amount, and it actually grew really fast, which made me trust him even more. Then he convinced me to take out a loan and put in almost all my savings, about low five figures. Now, I can't withdraw anything. He's ghosted me. I feel so stupid and broken. Is there any hope at all of getting some of this back? I'm in Montreal.
Is 'Global Fraud Unit' for real? They reached out after I got swindled on a crypto exchange.
Hi everyone, I'm kinda freaking out here. Back in November, I lost a good chunk of savings, about $7k CAD, on some sketchy crypto exchange. It was one of those 'too good to be true' investment schemes, you know? Anyway, I reported it to my bank, filed a police report, and just felt completely defeated. Then, out of nowhere, i got an email from a company calling themselves 'Global Fraud Unit'. They said they had seen my report (maybe my bank shared intel? idk) and claimed they could help me recover my lost funds. They sound really professional, sending me official-looking documents and talking about their 'global network of investigators'. They've asked for an 'initial retainer fee' of $900 before they can proceed. I'm so desperate to get my money back, but I also don't want to get scammed *again*. My partner thinks it's a huge red flag to pay upfront. Has anyone heard of this 'Global Fraud Unit'? Are they legit, or am I just looking at another scam trying to take advantage of me when I'm already down?
