I would like to share this story. It is very painful to me, but maybe someone could give me some advice. I would really, really appreciate it. 🙏
Last summer I met a guy on Tinder who seemed perfect, really listening, supportive, always there for me, understanding. After some weeks, he introduced me to trading crypto on a site he recommended.
At first, I was very cautious and only invested €1,000. I even made a small profit of around €500, and he actually helped me withdraw it without any problem. That made me trust him even more.
Then he convinced me to invest more, saying it was the “best moment” and “amazing opportunity.” I put in €15,000. After some time, the platform showed that my gains had grown to around €100,000. I was crying and so excited, I thought maybe my life was changing. I never believed he would fool me. He was like someone protecting me, always there. But when I tried to withdraw, they told me I had to pay “taxes” first. I paid. Then they asked for more and more. In the end, I realized it was all a scam. I lost around €55,000. 😭
After a shock that deeply affected my health, I immediately reported everything, to Tinder, to crypto apps, even hired an agency in Hungary to try to recover my funds. The wallet where the money was sent is flagged and apparently blocked, and it seems that contains funds from many victims. I also reported to the local police, gave them all the information they asked for, but since then there has been no real help or follow-up.
I feel stupid, devastated, and deep in debt. The funds are supposedly still there, frozen, but nothing happens. Has anyone been through something similar? Is there any real chance to recover money in cases like this, or should I try to contact other authorities?
here is all conversation data
