Hello everyone,I’m reaching out with a heavy heart, hoping that someone here can help me recover funds lost in a cryptocurrency scam. This money was meant to help my family, especially during this difficult time, but now I’m struggling to make ends meet.

Background:

I was scammed out of $3,500 through a Telegram group that claimed to offer high-return investment opportunities. The scammers, using the username “Mr. Matthew,” operated through platforms like Telegram (BT_Admin0 and manager_matt001), and their websites, frogloin.live and tradefanaticfx.com, seemed professional and convincing.I wanted to invest to create a second income stream to help with groceries, daily expenses, and gifts for my kids this Christmas. Inflation has made it harder to manage, and I thought this could be a way to secure my family’s future. But after observing the group for a month and seeing what seemed like real results, I decided to invest. When it came time to withdraw profits, they demanded upfront fees and commissions. Despite paying, I haven’t seen a penny returned or heard from them again.

Financial Details:

• Total Loss: $3,500
• Transaction Breakdown:
  • $500 in USDT (Transaction ID: 0x869420d7074360edb42ba97efda0d3246d8bfd91a1c1e8c562da9a162743397f)
  • $900 in BTC (Transaction ID: 006c7b5559f9b383bc271c37b53d0ee91cbf4c3c9a220a37bf9590517d718e0d)
  • $1,015 in BTC (Transaction ID: a1ef6983d8fc5acdeb587309a78c3604bc005ac6bb01979043f8dad0aaf2a2de)

Additional Information:

Through investigation, I discovered their IP address (98.97.79.158) linked to Laos and Nigeria, obtained via Grabify. Despite reporting the incident to the FBI, FTC, and local police, I’ve received little progress on recovery. Unfortunately, Coinbase and Bybit cannot assist with transactions once completed.

Why This Means So Much:

This scam has left me emotionally drained and struggling to provide for my family. I wanted to give my kids a special Christmas, but now even basic groceries feel like a stretch. I’ve always worked hard to support my family, but this has left me in a dark place, battling feelings of depression and failure.

What I’m Asking For:

I’m hoping someone with expertise in digital forensics or blockchain tracking can help me recover the funds. While I cannot pay upfront, I am willing to offer 10% of the recovered amount as compensation. Any guidance, advice, or support would mean the world to me.
