My story
For eight months I believed I was in a relationship. 'Daniel' was kind, attentive, and — it turned out — a professional fraudster. He slowly moved me from a dating app to a fake trading app, and I ended up sending $74,000 in instalments, always convinced I was building our future.
When I finally confronted him, he disappeared. I felt stupid and alone. Retraced Partners mapped every transfer and identified the mule accounts the money had passed through. Their report was detailed enough for the banks to act.
It took ten months, but I recovered the full $74,000. The emotional recovery took longer than the financial one, but getting the money back was the first step toward feeling whole again.
