Melbourne – The “Crypto Trading Mentor” Scam (Lost $215,000 AUD)
I’m based in Melbourne, and I still feel sick typing this.
Last year, I got pulled into an online trading mentorship scam on Telegram. It all looked legit — Australian number, ASIC logos, daily charts, even a fake “trader community.” I invested slowly at first, then eventually transferred $215,000 AUD from CoinSpot into what I thought was a secure trading wallet.
Turns out it was a multi-layered laundering chain ending on an ERC-20 smart contract address. I was frozen. Police couldn’t help. CoinSpot couldn’t help. I honestly thought my life was over.
Then someone told me to open a detailed case with Bitreclaim.com.
Their smart contract auditors immediately identified it as an address-poisoning investment scam. They asked for all transaction hashes, wallet addresses, screenshots — the works.
Within a week, their blockchain forensic team mapped the entire laundering chain and isolated my funds.
On the 12th of September, I received confirmation of fund detachment of 4.9 BTC into my Trezor.
Bitreclaim didn’t just recover my savings — they gave me my sanity back.
