Romance scams are among the most emotionally devastating forms of crypto fraud. They don’t just drain your funds—they betray your trust. At Lost Coin Rescue, we recently worked with a victim who had lost over $60,000 in Bitcoin to someone they believed they were building a relationship with.
This is the story of how we traced the funds, uncovered the truth, and helped them reclaim what was rightfully theirs.
The Setup: A Seemingly Genuine Connection
Our client connected with someone on a popular dating app. Over time, the scammer built trust, initiated daily conversations, and portrayed themselves as a successful crypto investor. Eventually, they encouraged the victim to “invest together” in a platform that looked professional, complete with charts, dashboards, and live customer support.
It all seemed real—until it wasn’t.
The moment the victim tried to withdraw any returns, they were met with endless excuses, withdrawal fees, and stalled communication. That’s when they realized they’d been scammed.
The Recovery Process Begins
When the client reached out to Lost Coin Rescue, they were discouraged and uncertain if recovery was even possible. We explained our process clearly:
- No upfront payments
- Full blockchain investigation
- Transparent updates
- Legal support if required
Our blockchain analysts quickly traced the Bitcoin transactions and identified that the funds had been funneled through multiple wallet addresses. Fortunately, some of those wallets were connected to known scam clusters and centralized exchanges.
Coordinated Action Across Teams
We worked with:
- Blockchain investigators to trace and analyze wallet activity
- Legal experts to prepare notices to exchanges and request asset freezes
- Compliance departments at crypto platforms that had received part of the funds
Because we moved quickly and documented the fraud clearly, we were able to prompt one exchange to freeze the scammer’s wallet and begin the recovery process.
The Outcome: $60,000 Recovered
After 4 weeks of coordinated effort, we successfully helped our client recover $60,000 worth of crypto.
They were shocked—and grateful. What once felt like a hopeless case had turned into a rare crypto recovery success story.
