Pc.ltufpmarts.com Scam - How I Got My Money Back

I uploaded some pictures on instagram, I noticed someone named Chloe had liked every photo and left some comments. It was quite unusual. I sent her a direct message, we spoke for a while but the conversation ended there.

I noticed she regularly reacted to my Instagram stories, If I posted any picture she would comment. So I decided to chat with her more, we started chatting almost every evening. 

She told me she was thirty-four and worked in I.T, she usually shared parts of her day like walking her dog with me.Our conversations felt completely natural.

About a month later, we exchanged phone numbers and began texting on WhatsApp. I asked for a video call to ensure she was a real person and she agreed. We spoke on video call and she looked exactly like her photos on instagram, so from then on I believed she was a real person.

We began taking about meeting in person but work always got in the way, She told me she planned to visit N.Y for work and suggested we spend the weekend together but a week before the trip she apologized. Her client had postponed the meeting, but she promised we would reschedule. I believed her because everything else about the relationship felt genuine.

Our conversations became more personal as I told her about my divorce and suggested we become closer than just online friends, she agreed.  We began talking more seriously about our future, We discussed having a home together and saving for retirement. When I complained about how little my savings account was earning, she told me she also had the same issues but fixed it by investing in digital assets.

When I asked what she meant, She explained that traditional savings are obsolete and the new gold is in Foreign exchange trading and digital assets investment.

That was the first time cryptocurrency came up in our conversations, I wanted to know more so she suggested I check out Pc.ltufpmarts.com. She said she invested with them and had made a killing so far.

I asked her to show me how everything worked, so she helped me open an account on Coinbase and purchase $4,000 in USDT, to invest in Pc.ltufpmarts.com.

Within a week, my account balance had significantly increased to over $5,000 in profits. This was really overwhelming and filled me with doubt but I didn’t want to bring issues in my relationship so I let it slide. I withdrew $1,400 to pay my daughter’s rent, since I was able to withdraw I was convinced Pc.ltufpmarts.com was legitimate and I was really on the course to being a crypto millionaire.

I took a loan from a friend of over $35,000, when he asked me what I needed the money for - I told him it was for business, my plans where to pay him back with interest as soon as my investment with Pc.ltufpmarts.com was due. Each decision I made felt reasonable because everything appeared to be working exactly as expected.

Pc.ltufpmarts.com showed that my account had grown to $350,000 in profit, I was excited and decided to pay back my loan but when I requested for a withdrawal. I was asked to pay a fee of $5,000, I spoke to Chloe about but she said It was mandatory for tax, based on the trust I had in her I paid.

Soon after I was asked for another fee, I sent a query to customer support that I had already paid the fee but they  informed me that my account had entered an enhanced verification process. Before any withdrawals could continue, I needed to deposit more cryptocurrency.

I got tired of their crap explanations and without answering my question. When I asked Chloe again, she encouraged me to complete the payment again. She became aggressive and super persuasive, this change in her attitude made me uncomfortable.

So instead of sending more money, I spoke to my daughter and she brought up that Chloe might be a catfish and Pc.ltufpmarts.com was a scam. I did not want to believe at first but later that night she sent me articles and links to reviews about them all calling them out as scammers.

I confronted Chloe with all the evidence and she blocked me. 

Indeed I had been scammed, I reported it all to the police but for several weeks all I got was that my case was pending and I should have a little patience. For weeks!.

My daughter sent me a reddit link to a thread where people were discussing crypto scams and sharing what they did afterward.

One comment mentioned CipherTrace and described how blockchain investigators analyze transaction trail and recover money stolen on the blockchain. I told my daughter about it and she suggested I give it a try.

I visited their website on - www.theciphertrace.com and submitted my information.

An investigator reached out a few hours later and reviewed my case with me, they explained the movement of the funds in a way I could actually understand. Using all the information I gave them they ended my agony with Chloe by finally getting all my money back from Pc.ltufpmarts.com.
