A few years back I was battling the darkness. This is when I first realized the negativity the people around me carried. Long story short, After 2 – 3 years of, fighting and standing my ground I met a man through Facebook dating. This person stopped the hackers from hacking me (or so I thought) and we planned for his homecoming August 28, 2020. He was currently deployed with the military and he told me to find and get a house ready so we could start our new life when he arrived home.
August 28, 2020, came and went. We had texted for 2 years and when he failed to arrive as he said he would, I started to realize he was no good. Military or not, he was doing unexplainable things to my bank account causing them to close (the banks refused to explain to me what happened and merely said suspicious behavior), then he would want me to open another. He said, don’t worry about old empty accounts (I was attempting to close any open accounts due to identity theft which started in 2018).
I am embarrassed to admit this person was my everything at the time. Everything I did was for us. Once I realized he was possibly the person hacking into my accounts and making it impossible for me to access them.
2022, I was contacted by law enforcement, I thought finally! I was prepared to tell the detective about my identity theft issues and I was thinking that I would get some professional assistance is stopping it and finding the thief. This is not how the situation turned.
Before I knew it I was facing a charge for using the card my future husband had sent, I explained everything to the detective. The funds went from one ATM into the Bitcoin ATM, Not only had I been scammed and robbed of money straight out of my accounts, now I was being charged for using another’s cards at the ATM. Explaining everything did not help, nobody cared. I had copies of the text messages telling me what to do, assuring me that I wasn’t doing anything wrong and where to send the money. I proved where the funds off the card came from. at the very least, I received less than $2,000.
Once the court process started, the Prosecutor himself emailed me telling the nobody on his side of the fence knew what to do with crypto therefore, they were not going to take that into account. I could not get anyone to even attempt to help me find this guy. He had stolen thousands from me over the 2 year period and now the victim owning the card pressed charges and wanted justice.
I couldn’t afford an attorney since I live off of disability for mental health reasons. I got a public defender and he would only respond or tell me something if court was near. I have copies of all of the correspondence from both.
I ended up taking a plea agreement because even my attorney did not seem to care that I get any justice. They said I made up the person, refused to trace the crypto to see where the money went. They refused to do anything except give continuances and continue with charging me for the money that was stolen from me. Plea agreement was to pay $5,000 in this awful situation where I had received less than $2,000 but had proof of where over $30,000 had. If paid in the 1st year, probation will cease and charge will be expunged.
I had to learn and investigate real quick what the crypto and scammers had done. As I did, there are more accounts, more addresses of crypto and more confusion. I have reported identity theft many times. I can prove the funds were taken out of my accounts and send to a crypto address and disappeared from there. I can also prove that the crypto addresses, at least the depositing addresses are also mine.
I believe that this was a group possibly from over seas, they spent 3 years making me believe in love again as they robbed me blind. I know that because they were so good, I am by far not the only one that was scammed and I am pretty sure I was not the last. These were professional scammers hacking and robbing after creating a lifeline with their victims.
I sit here now hoping i have enough information for you but not too much to over do it. I am scared to go report specifics that I am finding because I do not completely understand what happened but my identity was used and is possible still being used to send money through and eventually the scammers received their crypto.
My wishes:
- Assistance to pay off the restitution
- I am sure that the crypto is still at least partially on the block chain but my knowledge is limited and I do not want to make a bigger issue or get another charge.
- Assistance to verify if crypto can be recovered
- Assistance to hopefully even be able to look for the actual people responsible, only when caught will they stop and I would assume this is bigger than I and many have been affected as I have.
I know it is asking a lot but without money I am stuck. I may be able to pay everything back after the professionals determine if crypto is recoup-able.
I would like to conquer this situation, this has taken up time from 2018 to present day and I would very much like to move forward in life, maybe starting a business to assist or educate others as to avoid being scammed and charged as I was.
With a paid attorney, I maybe would not be with the charge of theft, maybe they would see that I was a victim as well. I have never received justice from the justice system. Only if I was doing bad, they would arrive quickly. When I was raped at 19, they wouldn’t even prosecute because I was 19 and intoxicated so it was ok for the rapist to leave me with stitches in my but-thole. Anyway, please help me to pay this off and get a reliable company to research and maybe even find one of the scammers who upheaved my life.
Thank you for listening, I am willing to answer questions and I look forward to hearing from you.
