“He claimed to have attended “Harvard in New York”! Why not in Cambridge? Allston? Boston?”
Lana M. Rochel, Looking For Your Tribe: Poems

“Is it possible to recover money lost in cryptocurrency scams? What are the chances of getting a refund for those who have been scammed?

In today’s digital world, scams are more widespread and more sophisticated than ever. Behind every headline about crypto fraud, romance scams, or pig-butchering schemes is a real person—a victim who’s often left ashamed, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn. That’s why I want to highlight APTRECOUP, a company that’s doing extraordinary work on behalf of scam victims worldwide.
What sets APTRECOUP apart is their deep understanding of the victim’s journey, because they’ve been through it themselves. Founded by individuals who were once victims, they know first-hand the emotional and financial devastation a scam can cause. They specialize in recovering money lost to:
Investment scams
Cryptocurrency fraud
Romance and dating scams
Task scams
Pig-butchering scams
Wire transfer fraud
Other complex online deception

But what truly makes them different is their compassion-driven approach. APTRECOUP isn’t just focused on reclaiming lost funds—they are just as committed to helping victims regain their emotional footing. They provide reassurance, clarity, and advocacy at a time when many people feel abandoned.
They operate through aptrecoup.com, and anyone can contact them via support@aptrecoup.com. Whether you or someone you care about has been targeted, I believe APTRECOUP is a resource worth knowing about. Scam victims deserve justice—and APTRECOUP is helping them fight for it.”
Bharat Varshney
