Theresa Thomas, from Omaha, is my name! As I'm from Omaha, Nebraska, please remember to share this post if you find it. When attempting to trade cryptocurrencies online, I fell victim to scammers, and within two weeks, I was defrauded of $53,700 USDT. Fortunately, though, I was referred to Cyber Backers Consultants, a premier bitcoin recovery team that regularly analyzes the strategic methods used by cryptocurrency scammers to con various victims ON daily. And Within 48 hours of my case being examined By cyber backers consultants, The cyber supporters Teams, who i had consulted on forensic checks, assisted me in getting all of the USDT I had been scammed out of my possession. I highly employ cyber backers consultants and heartily suggest them to anyone who has fallen victim to a cryptocurrency scam, just like I did. And i use this opportunity to advice everyone out there to pls deviate from involving on online binary options, cryptocurrency, forex, and Ponzi schemes. AND if you are a victim of crypto scams pls contact: [email protected] NOW!
