I reached out to Shield Forencies (shieldforensics.tech) to help me retrieve the funds I lost to a scammer. At first, they informed me that I needed to make a one-time payment of around 2k USD to get some software to start with. After a few days, they requested an additional 9k USD for a private key (recovering a trust wallet), assuring me that they would cover 5k of the cost. So, I reluctantly paid 4k USD.

To my surprise, a few days later, they demanded another payment of 3k USD for a background check needed for the FBI. Confused and frustrated, I received an invoice stating that I still owed them 5k USD. They claimed they were unable to make the payment on my behalf, even though all these fees were supposed to be refunded once my wallet was recovered. Their use of phrases like "read the e-mail well mate" raised my suspicions, but unfortunately, it was too late. I had already lost 30k USD to the initial scammer, and now an additional 10k USD to Shield Forensics.

To make matters worse, they informed me that a refund was not possible because my money was "on a blockchain." This left me feeling utterly disappointed and frustrated. I had hoped that Shield Forensics would be able to assist me in recovering my hard-earned money, but it seems like their promises were empty.

Overall, my experience with Shield Forensics has been nothing short of a financial nightmare. I caution others to approach their services with extreme caution, as their actions have only added to my losses. It's disheartening to think that there are companies out there who take advantage of individuals already in vulnerable situations.
