*CRYPTO SCAM VICTIM?* As a Retired combat
Marine I want to tell you that as what you are doing is just as important as any warrior on the battlefield.
You are waging warfare against these criminals and terrorists on the digital battlefield.
You are defending and protecting the most vulnerable of our society against these predators.
Keep up the good work *Strongwidget* ‼️
Wtf?? Lol
@@AboveEmAllProductionit’s a bot- all the ones using the name of that scam crypto- there are a bunch of comments here from the same people
Hilarious, *Strongwidget* I love the work you do mate. Those low life scammers take money from old ladies, they have no soul or heart and deserve everything u give them. Your doing a service to humanity. Love the videos, keep doing the good work mate.!!!
*Mr Strong Widget, I would like to sincerely thank you from the BOTTOM of my heart! So many from tough harsh living conditions that suffer and you helping and giving them something*
*that they desperately need just to survive. I thank God for wonderful people like you that are making the differences that truly matter most! God bless you Strong widget!!! Love from Greenville NC*
I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to take on a moneygetback role of scammed persons. The history needs to be remembered though and the help that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these *Strongwidget* that take on these roles.
You're great. Seriously. You're super likable at the same time. The FBI should seriously hire you right now based off of these videos. You're a true patriot, sir. Thank you *STRONGWIDGET* for all you do please don't stop. You're so important to this country people like you. You're putting fear into literal countries. On a funny note; your characters are legendary at this point.
I am from America . I am really happy to see your work to expose people like this on web and make awareness among people. I havd already shared this *STRONG WIDGET* to all my foreign friends and ask them to share to others. Thank you again please keep the good work. Thank you again.
The amount of bravery this took was INSANE. These people all had their lives in danger, but still decided to go through with the recovery for the sake of busting bad scammers. True respect *Strong widget!*
If the FBI was half as dedicated and ingenious (and honest) as you guys are, the USA would be a much safer country.
Amazing work!
Greed causes suffering.
It does. 😢
Hey ppl, Im a retired computer/IT person, Yet I still find *Cryptic Webster* so informative and straight forward. Thanks for your advise and helping the people...........Great work and love watching.
I love this and, *Strongwidget,* you are a freaking LEGEND my dude! I love the recovery's videos and the angry scammers and the hacking of their wallet but I absolutely love these videos where you help the victims in real time. I don't have much confidence in this scammer "coming to the good side" so to speak but I hope you come out with more ideas like this, stopping the scams with the victims.
I like the way this Man tries to keep his value above all and never uses cuss or bad words to help the audience through his recovery! Hats off to you *Strongwidget* for Helping people with such a healthy and positive content. 😃😃👏👏👏
Dude. I'm a veteran, and nothing I've ever done in service compares to the incredible work you and your colleagues make to safeguard and educate the general public about this awful threat to innocent people. Great respect. *Universal Dispute* !!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share this with the CZcams community. We hold immense admiration and gratitude for your contributions.
*Acknowledged and appreciated, Universaldispute*
Choosing a role to combat these con artists must have been incredibly challenging.
Remembering the past is crucial!Kudos to the *UniversalDispute* crew for stepping up to the plate and exposing these frauds.
Every destroyed scam office is a rescue for the humanity. I really appreciate your work. Thanks *STRONGWIDGET*
They deserve everything that coming to them. What They do to innocent people is awful. Thank you so much for what you do. It clearly is getting to them and love to see it....
Thank you, UniversalDispute, regardless of your identity. The presence of individuals from India who exhibit poisonous behaviour is significantly tarnishing the reputation of our nation. I commend you for imparting a valuable lesson to them.
I desire for our government to implement changes and laws pertaining to call centres.
YOU ARE A HERO MY HERO AND A HERO TO MILLIONS. IN ALL HONESTY WE ALL SHOULD BE GIVING OUR MONEY TO YOU AND YOUR CAUSE.
YOU DESERVE TO BE GREATLY REWARDED. *STRONGWIDGET*
Dude. I'm a vet, and nothing I ever did in service compares to the most amazing effort you and your colleagues give to protect and enlighten the public in general to this horrendous threat to innocent people. Much respect. *VortexTrace* !!!!
I wish there was more people like you to stop all these scammers, they need serious jail time for that, especially when they take money from the elderly, keep doing what your doing *Strongwidget* 👍🏻💪🏻 Put the wind up these low life oxygen thiefs
Love what you guys do keep up the Great work mate well done Respect..
I love IT guys using their knowledge to destroy criminal scammers, *STRONGWIDGET* help victims and the officials to take them down - and I love your hair.
10/10 Edit: HUGE credit to the one who does the subtitles, they make me laugh everytime
The work he does is so vital the world needs more people like you I just love the podcast so you put up I love hearing these scammers squirm keep up the good work, it takes good hearted individuals the gutts to do this instead. There should be whole government department buildings filled with *Apexbureauservice* on the internet doing stuff like this to protect and serve its own scammed civilians.
That would be tax money well spent...
thank man
The amount of bots commenting nonsense here is insane.
CZcams is a joke, with all the AI available they still can't detect the bots?
Agreed. Absolutely ridiculous.
I AM NOT A BOT [ END PROGRAM ]
Dead internet theory proven once again.
Lmao- yours is the FIRST real comment I’ve seen 😂
The fact the *Strongwidget* was facing adventures to help the people was so kind. Mad respect to you man.
Appreciate all you do to help others. You are setting a great example for the community Strongwidget.

Imagine dishing out hundreds of thousands to someone you befriended on internet ... 🙄
I don't think demeaning and belittling the victim is helpful here. If it aggrandizes you to have such thoughts, you may want to keep them to yourself. People can be vulnerable for all kinds of reasons. Especially when they mix it with romantic deception.
Thousands of people sent money to a Nigerian prince after receiving an email 🤷♂
@@bluest1524it’s the truth. You also have a responsibility as an adult in this world.
I was scammed £30000 last year .i lost more than 10kg in 1 week.i cried day & night & felt embarrassed trusting a person i don't know 😢. Only God has given me peace but i was dying seriously 😢

And the comments re full of scam bots ....become on CZcams.
*VortexTrace* your dedication to fighting against these malicious scammers is truly commendable. The protection of the elderly and the general public from their harmful tactics is a top priority. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and you deserve the highest accolades, such as the Nobel Peace Prize, for the invaluable service you provide.
Hearing these people’s voices over the phone so thrilled to be evil, almost giddy sounding, is utterly disgusting. Thank you *Vortextrace* all you and your team does to shut them scammers down.
Admirable work, *VortexTrace* - I’m delighted to see you actively engaging in the battle against these individuals of questionable character. It is of utmost importance that we do all we can to protect the elderly and the general public from these repugnant scammers! Well done, my friend!! You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for your commitment to our safety.
#ALBERTWEBROOT I love that you do this. Protecting, our. elders and other vulnerable!! populations…
Greed & stupidity. Blame yourself!
Don't invest via social media! Use an established investment firm.
FINALLY SOMEONE USING THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF COMPUTERS FOR GOOD. THOSE LAZY PPL SHOULD GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND GO WORK FOR THEIR MONEY INSTEAD OF STEALING AND TELLING LIES. *VORTEXTRACE* HATE THESE THIEVES
Great work *Strongwidget* - so glad you are out there fighting these lowlifes. We need to do all we can to spare the elderly and the general public from these despicable scammers! Kudos to YOU!!
You deserve the Nobel prize for keeping us safe big up brother.
Very well done *Briskdeft* for stopping even more scammers. I'm from Brazil, 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 Brazil. Keep up your fantastic work. You deserve an National Awards For your
generosity. you have stepped up with courage and strength you put to do this *Briskdeft*
💯……
Bless your heart *Vortextrace* . 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.
Bravo to the courageous *Charge backtools* I am immensely grateful that you are out there, bravely battling against these despicable scammers It is our duty to do everything in our power to protect the elderly and the general public from their deceitful tactics.

Honestly, he's an amazing person.

LOVE FROM ALLSTATE.*
I value the information you dropped on us. As somebody inquisitive about recuperation, I like that you show devices you use to examine an organization prior to coming to a choice. It's now a hard choice to make and game to play, and with somebody showing the world procedures to safeguard themselves, this information is important.
Gratitude for getting some margin to impart this to the CZcams world. We love you *#HELPBACKEXPERTS*
mad respect for him.. i can't even imagine the physical and emotional toll this challenge would put on a person.
no doubt this is the best pro on youtube!!!
Been watching *Strong widget* for about 2 years now and to see his growth is still good to accept, hes so humble and normal its almost like hes been on CZcams his whole life

Hey bud, I just wanted you to know that everything you do is necessary and thank you so much for what you do. It's more than just a recovery service, you're helping people. You're actually the push for me to get my degree in Information Technology so that I can protect people from heartless people like this.

Me too how ? Do I reach them
First and foremost, thank you to *UNIVERSALDISPUTE* for creating a nice work, taking responsibility seriously, and gracefully completing the recovery process!!
You are much deserved. Your team keeps its promises, and their ethics are of the highest grade.
@@Collinawaves I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately once you've sent money to someone's crypto-wallet address, there is no way to retrieve it. (Well except for them voluntarily sending it back, but that is not going to happen...) Be very wary of the various names being spammed on this comments section offering retrieval services - they are simply another layer of the scam.
Youre exactly part of the reason why people arent getting scammed as often. You, and *Skillful Recovery* , and others that put scammers in the spotlight and send them running. Keep doing what you do, youre a credit to the people.
Seems like greed got the best of him
Please don't stop shutting those creeps down.
They hurt so many people. Bless you and thank you for what you do. You're awesome *Charge Backtools* am so glad there are people like you who is doing this payback to them. You're doing very great and helping countless victims, future and past. So grateful to you I rarely sub but you made me do.
This is amazing, the way you guys listen to the community and how you are still giving this victims so much love makes me super happy and motivated to keep on praying and recommending *Strong widget!* Also i think its seen in the world as well. Love your work and very excited for the future, big love from germany:*
I fell for this and I reported it to the FBI but nothing is done. now I am stuck paying back a loan for the next 6 years of my life. I wish our government would do something about this.
There should be a crowd funding campaign for this person. If there is one please share with me
They merit all that oncoming to them How they treat guiltless people is awful Thank you benevolent for what you do. It clearly is getting to them and love to see it.
Y'all are achieving the real work here! This happened to my 75 year old grandmother and luckily we got it almost all out of time, due to
these recovery!! Much gratitude to YOU *Apexbureauservices!!*
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 quite unfortunate, *Grind Techiei* Seriously thank you for flagging down these swindlers. You make me want to spend my next 10 years learning how to do this’
What I don’t get is why would anyone invest from a phone call from someone you don’t know.
If you never want to be scammed is this simple : TRUST NOBODY. I repeat again. TRUST NOBODY. You got to be ruthless especially in this wicked world we live in. Stay safe everyone

As an American, I sincerely sympathize with these unemployed individuals who deceive and exploit others for their hard-earned money. It's alarming how effectively they manipulate and mistreat their victims once targeted. I hope your page reaches as many people as possible and educates them on the importance of not answering calls from unknown scam numbers, ensuring their safety and preventing deception. You are providing an exceptional service by dealing with these fraudulent individuals. Keep up the amazing work at Apexbureauservice. Thank you so much!
Don’t blame crypto, blame a scammers, they’re in other investments too

Crypto is a bit of a joke though. People only use it mainly to try and sell it for more money 😂

You just don't hear about stories like this in modern times, so this is a truly great thing to see. This is such a positiveness. Good people doing good for the world *Algoin quiry on the NET* his skills is so underrated at least by most tech fans in general. I mean I get that there is stamina and all that involved in things like he does but being able to stand so far away and have the ability get the information needed with high speed as expected to hit it perfectly with a paddle just over the net is extremely valuable
I can imagine the effect when continuously dealing with these people and restoring what was taken from so many good citizens *Algoin quiry on the net* Keep fighting the good fight guys and make sure to take a good break every now and then, You're helping a lot of people! May the lord continue to bless you..!!
From California Your work in fighting scams is
invaluable. I was scammed twice last year,
totaling losses over $110,000. It was a lengthy
process involving federal intervention to get her
money back. We need more people like
Adrian notch taking a stand against these
criminals. Much love and support from
California.

I hope through your channel that more people reject these morons from India and tell them where to go.
Thanks again!
I wish there was more people like you *Retrievetron* to stop all these scammers, they need serious jail time for that, especially when they take money from the elderly, keep doing what your… doing put the wind up these low life criminals Love what you guys do keep up the great work mate well, done Respect 🫡
