Report all romance scammers
I was contacted on Facebook by someone claiming to be a U.S. soldier deployed overseas. He built trust over time and eventually introduced me to an “investment opportunity” he said would help us build a future together. After convincing me it was safe and profitable, I invested.
At first, everything appeared legitimate, but when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was met with excuses, additional payment demands, and no real support. I ultimately lost all the money I invested.
It was when he stopped responding to my messages that I realized he was fake and I might have been scammed. I did some internet research and got to see complaints of other victims in similar conditions. I saw a similar trend and decided to follow on and report to Recoup Tech Pro. Although a part of me was still hoping it wasn't a scam. Recoup Tech Pro confirmed the scam and immediately commenced recovery activities. They recovered $56,000of my stolen funds to me. Report all romance scammers.

Dating app called hinge continuously harasses me and defames me by making fraudulent claims regarding me using the app. This has happened numerous times at this point, and I feel it is important to notify as many people as possible because they notify others that I was doing things that I was not doing. Honestly at this point, they should be sued for the harm they are causing.

He seems very real. He was very romantic; sending pictures of roses, nice messages, and love notes promising marriage. I gave him an Iphone 16 and over $700.00 and a $200.00 loan which I got from consumer loan company Lendumo which cost me over $1,000.00 to pay back. I found out he was sending pictures of retired Army Captain ***** ******* ********.

CountryUnited States Total money lost$1,000 Type of a scamRomance
I met Alycia Beckham on a dating app. She lives in the states, but went to Mexico to pick up some art for her company. She's run out of money and is stuck there with her daughter. She and her family attorney have asked me to help her get her $30 million dollar inheritance. He is with a company called Financial Capital Investment. He asked me to pay 1% so we could get it. He said he paid $10,000, so I only need to pay $20,000. I invested $1000 in Bitcoin on fincapitalinc.com. Since then, I have refused to give them any more money. She complains that she doesn't have any money for food or a place to stay. I told her to take a picture out of her window and send it to me. She said: "Well no I can't do that right now..because it's too dangerous right here where I'm staying!" He says he's really concerned about her, and threatening me saying I will be solely responsible for paying all of the taxes on the inheritance if I don't pay the $20,000. He says he will have me arrested for false pretenses and extradited. I have been doing a fantastic job of weaseling myself out of putting another dime into it for quite some time now.

She (Candy Jude) liked a comment I had made on a Facebook post. She asked be to message her, which I did. We texted some on there then she said we should switch to Zangi,
which is a more private messenger app. She would talk about what a person would look for in another and things like that.. She asked me not to reply or comment on facebook posts. She also said she was really shy and didn't want to tell other people that we were dating. She was acting real romantic and started asking for money. She said she had worked as a fashion designer for 8 months but had a fire in the shop and was out of work. Whenever she needed money she wanted me to send it to other people that she said were either a good friend, her uncle, or cousin for her and always wanted a screen shot of the transaction receipt. She would say she need money for food or doctor visits or for her mother in the hospital.
She said she was in Austin Texas but was originally from Alaska. She said she is almost 30 but never learned to drive and doesn't have a drivers license. She keeps saying she loves me and am the best thing that has happened to her and really wants to get married. She has no job and no income but somehow has a house or apartment, an iPhone, clothes, electricity, and cell service. She says she wants to start a jewelry business and also wanted to use my Verizon account to buy prepaid phones to resell to which I said no.
She keeps saying how much she loves me and asking for money which I have told her repeatedly that I don't have much of since I have health issues and am unemployed. I am recently divorced and get some monthly spousal support but have had to borrow a lot from my brother to pay the mortgage. I am in Virginia so we have not been able to meet face-to-face. i did talk to 2 Sheriff deputy friends about it. They said I should not give her any more money and need to cut ties with her which I am going to do.
