Romance and Online Dating Scam Recovery


Romance and Online Dating Scam Recovery

Romance scams—also known as “love scams” or “pig butchering” schemes—are a cruel blend of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. Victims are deceived into believing they’re in a genuine relationship, only to be tricked into sending money, crypto, or personal financial information.

At Cand Capital Limited, we specialize in helping victims of romance and dating scams recover their stolen funds. Our team works with forensic investigators, legal experts, and international institutions to trace transactions, compile evidence, and pursue recovery against perpetrators and the platforms they use.

What Are Romance and Online Dating Scams?

Romance scams occur when a fraudster creates a fake identity on dating apps, social media, or messaging platforms to exploit victims emotionally and financially.

Here’s how the scam typically works:

Fake Profiles: Scammers create attractive, believable online personas using stolen photos and fabricated life stories (military personnel, doctors abroad, oil engineers, etc.).

Emotional Bonding: They invest weeks or even months building trust through frequent messaging, calls, and emotional support.

Financial Requests Begin: Once the bond is strong, they claim to face an emergency—medical bills, customs delays, business problems—and ask for money.

Crypto Investment Traps: Increasingly, scammers lure victims into fake crypto investment apps or platforms where "returns" are visible, but withdrawals are impossible.

Repeated Manipulation: Victims are emotionally blackmailed into sending more money with promises of love, marriage, or urgent need.

Ghosting or Vanishing: Eventually, the scammer vanishes, leaving the victim heartbroken and financially devastated.

These scams are psychologically sophisticated and often involve well-organized international fraud rings.

The Romance Scam Recovery Process

Recovering from a romance scam involves careful handling of both financial evidence and emotional trauma. At Cand Capital Limited, our recovery approach is methodical and compassionate.

Initial Case Evaluation
We offer a confidential consultation to understand the nature of your scam, the platforms used, and transaction methods.

Data and Communication Analysis
We examine emails, chat logs, payment records, crypto wallet addresses, and platform activity to identify patterns and extract evidence.

Transaction Tracing
Whether funds were sent via wire, credit card, or cryptocurrency, our forensic tools track the path of each transaction.

Scammer Network Identification
We use global fraud databases, image reverse lookups, IP tracing, and metadata to expose the scam network and linked aliases.

Institutional Reporting and Engagement
We engage with banks, crypto exchanges, and social media platforms to block fraudulent accounts and escalate recovery actions.

Legal Action Where Applicable
Through our legal partners, we can pursue civil claims or regulatory complaints where the scammer or intermediary platforms are identifiable.
