Olivia M., a 42-year-old single mom from New Jersey, wanted to find a way to grow her savings. She joined a Facebook group about financial freedom and soon got a message from a “trading coach” who seemed kind, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He showed screenshots of people he had “helped” and said he could guide her personally.
It all started with a $2,000 deposit. The coach updated her with screenshots of her growing balance. He said if she added more, the returns would be even better. Olivia trusted him. Over the next few weeks, she sent him $29,000.
But when it came time to withdraw, the story changed. She was told she needed to pay another $5,000 to “upgrade her account.” That’s when she knew something was wrong. The coach stopped replying. The trading site was taken down. Her messages went unanswered.
She felt sick to her stomach. She blamed herself and was too embarrassed to tell anyone. Still, she didn’t want to give up. While searching online, she found Financial Options Recovery and filled out the contact form, hoping someone would listen.
From the moment we heard her story, we jumped into action. We tracked down the wallet addresses and discovered connections to multiple known scams. Two exchanges had handled the transactions. One of them agreed to work with us and reverse the funds after we provided proof of fraud.
In just a few weeks, Olivia had her $29,000 back in her account.
“I cried when I saw the money. I thought I’d never get it back. You didn’t just recover my funds-you restored my trust.”
These scams are designed to feel personal and real. That’s what makes them so dangerous. But no matter how convincing the scam was, recovery is possible-with the right help and fast action.
