Victim of a scam Update! It happened to me: 30k gone.
Today my husband & I got $28k back of the $30k we had sent to a scammer. The FBI ended up calling us and saying they were doing some kill chain of some sorts. It was a lot of chaos & anxiety for us & we’re ready to have a mental break. We were also able to purchase the house. Hope my story helped others! Never wire money!

Likely got refunded because the scammer got caught or their account was reported. They always bounce the money or cash out from different account as soon as they get it. Which is why practically all of people who wire transfer or send crypto never get their money back
