'Wales' challenge now is to make the effort against Ireland their default setting’

I invested into a crypto company without my husband knowing to get more money in return and to show to him as proof so we coule invest more into the process. I had seen advert on social media and signed up cause I was reassured, I paid $550 for them to show me what they could do. I’d like to say that everything seemed very serious (website, personal advisor and a personal account where my interest comes in, so we decided to invest $45,000. I was able to get $7000 back quickly, and it was only then that things got really weird. They suggested investing more and signing a one-year warranty contract they said, to make a monthly profit of about 60,000 to 200,000! I refused and didn’t feel comfortable, so i asked for the remaining $40,000. I was then told I had to pay $15,000 as fee to get refunded i then contacted the FCA (Financial Control Authority), who confirmed that they weren’t authorized and that I had been scammed. Please i plead with people to avoid getting involved with such investments plan its all a waste of time and resources. I was really lucky to recover most of my money back cause i had to involve my husband and he contacted a hacking company that works with his office and they agreed to help cause of tje cordial relationship with each other. i highly recommend them. You'd have to go through a third party company cause they're highly profiled and secured Email: hack recovery agency At gmail Dot com ]
