My story
A friend from a Facebook investing group convinced me to move my savings into a 'guaranteed-return' crypto platform. The exchange was a convincing fake. I sent $52,000 in USDT over the course of three weeks before I realised the withdrawal button did nothing.
I was embarrassed and didn't want to tell anyone. Retraced Partners treated it like a financial crime, not a personal failure. They traced the on-chain movement of my USDT through several wallets and identified the exchange where the funds finally landed.
Their evidence pack led to a successful freeze and, eventually, a full return. It took six months. I got all $52,000 back — and a hard lesson about who I trust with my money.
