If you encounter breadcrumbs.app or someone claiming they can recover stolen cryptocurrency with a “sharkbot attack,” stay away. We recently handled a case where scammers targeted a victim who lost between $90,000 and $130,000 in cryptocurrency due to a compromised wallet. They demanded Bitcoin to be deposited into a trust wallet as part of their supposed recovery plan. This scammer offered no legitimate evidence of their ability to recover the funds and used fear and urgency to pressure the victim.
We stepped in to investigate this situation. Our team traced transactions to exchanges like Bybit, Cryptomkt, and Binance, where the scammers may have cashed out stolen funds. The victim provided key documentation, including proof of transactions, which helped us dig deeper. We prepared a detailed report for further legal and investigative action.
Scammers use promises of recovery to exploit your hope and desperation. They often add layers of complexity, like technical jargon, to make their lies more convincing. Always verify recovery services through reliable sources before trusting them with your money. The promises made by this scammer were nothing more than empty words designed to deceive.
We can’t stress enough how important it is to act cautiously when your funds are at risk. This case demonstrates how easy it is to fall prey to scammers when you’re vulnerable. If you suspect fraud or need help investigating such cases, we encourage you to seek professional guidance. Always question too-good-to-be-true solutions and rely on experts like us to help you navigate these situations safely.
