I never thought I would be a victim of a romance scam—let alone one involving cryptocurrency It started innocently enough I met someone on a dating app She said all the right things We chatted every day for weeks Eventually the topic of crypto came up She said she was investing in a new coin with inside knowledge and offered to help me get in early I was cautious but she never directly asked for money Instead she guided me through the process of buying crypto and sending it to a “wallet I controlled” But once the funds left my account I couldn’t touch them again When I questioned it the excuses started Eventually she vanished I had sent over $65,000 in ETH and stablecoins I was heartbroken and furious—at her and at myself. I reported it to my local cybercrime unit but they had no clear leads On a Google thread I found someone who had gone through the same thing and recovered their funds with the help of Bytephantom Cyber Recovery I got in touch and they began tracing the transfers Eventually they found that the scammer had cashed out through a centralized exchange with weak KYC They coordinated with the exchange submitted evidence and after nearly two months they recovered about 70% of the stolen funds More than the money it felt like I got a piece of myself back I now share this to warn others: scammers can be incredibly convincing. Protect your heart—but especially protect your wallet And if you’ve already been hit recovery is possible Don’t give up Just contact Bytephantom Cyber Recovery sure they can be of help.
