Wow, *VortexTrace* you're doing an amazing job standing up against these scammers.
It's crucial that we protect the elderly and the public from their deceitful tactics. You're a true hero!!!!!
A friend of mine is now being scammed at this very moment and the scam prevention resources out there but unfortunately, she still see this scammer as someone who is trustworthy and the one who bring her "happiness". The tactics (or playbook) these scammers use are very manipulative, aggressive to the point of pressuring their victims into sending thousands and millions of their life's savings.
I have tried requesting her colleagues, close friends, financial advisor, this video and even requested an FBI agent to chat with her but she still wouldn't believe that this scammer is a scammer. What should I do? Any suggestions . . . .
You should contact #90SpyTron I'd believe he can really help her out
Very well done *VortexTrace* for stopping even more scammers. I'm from Michigan, My question is why are the USA FBI not shutting more of these scammers down and throwing them into jail for a very long time. They are (scamming innocent people worldwide not only in the Michigan. Keep) up your fantastic work!! You deserve an Oscar Awards For your generosity, you have stepped up with courage and strength you put to do this VortexTrace
i keep my money buried in the garden, in an old coffee can.. don't be stupid and trust people that you don't know with your love or money.....
Hey *VortexTrace* just wanna thank you again for offering help me out with scammers about a year ago. Your a stand up guy and I am greatful to you, glad your doing so well. Thanks again keep up the great work and ROCK ON WITH YOUR AWESOME SELF BROTHER
I'm a Police officer and I'm tired of taking these reports where people are scammed anywhere from 100 to seriously $50,000. It's unfortunate, *Briskdeft* Seriously thank you for fucking with these assholes.
You make me want to spend the next 10 years learning how to do this lol""

Bitcoin’s sub-$40K range trading and mixed data reflect traders’ uncertainty I believe < that the inflation is already priced in crypto market since the end of last year. These manipulative rats are always 2 steps ahead of everybody because they are market makers. I hope I’m wrong and they won’t keep dumping it on retail investors as always. Those who hold the longest will profit the most, I trade and hold profits keep up the great work! and also Bradston Neil Crypto has been doing a great job reviewing all chart, trade and techniques on BTC which has enhance the growth of my portfolio from 1.74BTC to 8.9 BTC lately. I left his contacts in the comment below take care.

In fact, it hurts and brings tears to my eyes when I read comments from victims who have been scammed by scammers online. I know how it feels and hurts to lose the money you've worked for the half of your life. Sometime in January I was scammed by a man who convinced me into believing that he loves me. And I lost a total of $150k, and when I requested a video call with him, he asked me to make another $20,000 deposit before I could see him on video call. This is very pathetic so I contacted my sister and told her everything that was happening to me, to my surprise my sister told me that the man was a scam. I felt very sad losing my money. I did some due diligence on this man but guess what I ended up getting scammed. Who would have believed this. When I saw a comment from Allison george, who managed to recover all his lost funds through the help of Mr. Ben Nelson, an expert in recovering lost funds. Well, I did it 50/50, which means I can't lose my money to scammers anymore. So I gave Mr. Ben Nelson a try and to my surprise he successfully helped me get back everything i had lost. This is to create awareness, not everyone can be as lucky as me. I say this because I was able to get my funds back. Thanks to Mr. Ben Nelson recovery team, they are private investigators and fund recovery experts... Feel free to contact him via email for assistance. ( bennelson5690@gmail.com ) I thought someone might find this information useful.
Yes what do is blocked theme when they ask for money 👍
This is giving me an idea 💡
To the fact that this started as just a random thought, a random hacker then turned to this blows me away.

Keep up the work, *Highgizmo.* Can't wait for your other recovery then award.

I totally agree with what you are saying.The fact is, BTC is the future of crypto and the questions traders ask themselves now if this is right time to invest? before jumping into conclusion i think you should take a look at things first. for the past few days the price of BTC has been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable and you cant tell if it is going bearish or bullish. while others still continue to trade without the fear of making loss, others are being patient. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. i would say trading has been going smoothly for me, i started with 4.5 BTC and i have accumulated over 11.6 BTC in just three weeks, with the trading strategy given to me by Cormac Donald.....
I was able to grow my portfolio … from 0.6btc to 4.3btc within 4 weeks, his a genius.
I believe this is the right time for every one to invest with Cormac daily signals now that BTC is on the rise side
*Prophecytrace* , your strong work ethic and assuredness are so inspiring. Great job on managing those inquiries and collections! Your organizational skills and efficiency are really top-tier.

Not real name on purpose 😔
Be the change you wish to see in the World! Every single person can make a difference. I am from Canada. The RBC, The Royal Bank of Canada, should be outraged about this. I am so upset that they would do nothing to help me. Disgusting. Thank You *#RECRYPTOTECH* for everything you do to help these innocent people!
These people talking about recovering your money are scammers too!
I love how these comments are full of bots pushing recovery scammers.
I'm so proud of you man you help so many people and we need a lot of more people like you. I showed my grandma and grandpa and my mom what you did for me and they know a lot more now and more prepared for these horrible scammers I just want to thank you for protecting me and my family and so many other people. YOU ROCK *GILLIETECH*
I got scammed for 350 by a fake person saying he was from microsoft and my computer had a virus on it. It can happen.
This goes on with guys too! Women try to get you to invest in their companies!
Love this Dude! *Prophecytrace* He's such a reliable and respected source. I love that he's so simple about things and we get to see that wholesome recovery . Loved this one ❤
The quality of your job is so incredibly high. If you don't have a team behind you, then. you are a multitalented individual.

They will not delay your recovery payout and will not waste a single minute to have it processed while taking the scammer as well, this is something I truly admire about #GrindProTechie🌎.

Brilliant - All the peoples you are saving from these people it appreciated - Pity our own governments/ police/cyber defence, can't be arsed to do the same, Great work *Apexnotch* on the internet, I love what you do to these scammers. Too bad there isn't a way to totally destroy thier hard drive, when you delete thier files, to a point they would have to replace the hard drive. Or put something into the bios of the computer, to make it laugh at them, everytime the tried to enter data into it. Now THAT would be extremelys funny, thanks for the recoveries bro
theyre not very tech savvy imo
I work in IT and I fell for it. Love blinds. They build trust to you over weeks.
Love this Dude! He's such a reliable and respected source. I love that he's so simple about things and we get to see that wholesome recovery. Loved this one, CryptoTraceBack! Congrats!
Bless your heart #CryptoTraceBack. Its so sad how the scammers prey on the elderly and the uninformed public. Bless you and all others who fight against these crimes. Its horrible how mainstream media is not doing the right thing by shining light on these things to help the public.
People are so harsh in these comments. These people who run these confidence schemes (now called romance scams) are professional. I think she is brave for coming forward so others can learn from her mistakes.

I'm so happy for him👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and from listening to his moves for the last few years he's definitely made some good progress he's on point. And I can tell that he's been through a lot from these last few months, & the fact that he's still standing on his own two feet in a world that has tried its best to knock him down over and over again, proves only the truth; that he is unbreakable. 🙏🏼🙌🏾👏🏼💕💕💕🦋
The amount of bot comments on this video is astonishing, singing the praises of their supposed advisor. I guess if it's that easy they will keep doing it. Wish ABC would remove them.
Thank you for your help this days it's difficult to come by people like you, l want you to know that my heart will never ever stop appreciating your generosity. I can't imagine why anyone would dislike this #Grind-Techiei dude. this is very clear and very helpful to comprehend>
