Romance Scam Recovery: A Complete Legal Guide
Romance scams — also known as pig butchering — are among the most emotionally devastating forms of crypto fraud. Victims are manipulated into fake online relationships that culminate in fraudulent investment schemes. The result: life savings transferred to criminals who disappear without a trace.
At Cirius Justice Alliance Limited, we specialise in tracing and legally recovering funds lost to romance scams. Our no win, no fee model means you never pay unless we succeed.
How Romance Scams Work
- Fake profiles on dating apps, social media, or messaging platforms
- Weeks or months of emotional grooming and manipulation
- Introduction to fraudulent "investment platforms"
- Requests for crypto transfers to "secure" wallet addresses
- Platform shows fake profits to encourage larger deposits
- Victim unable to withdraw — scammer disappears
Why Romance Scam Funds Are Often Recoverable
Despite the emotional manipulation, the blockchain leaves an indelible record. Every transaction is permanently logged. Our forensic partners use advanced tracing techniques to track stolen funds through multiple wallets, identify mixers and bridges, pinpoint exchange deposits with KYC, build court-admissible evidence, and coordinate freezing orders across jurisdictions.
Our Recovery Process
- Assessment (24 hours): We evaluate your case and provide an honest viability assessment.
- Forensic Tracing (5-10 days): Our blockchain specialists trace the fund trail.
- Legal Action: We file freezing injunctions and coordinate with law enforcement.
- Recovery: Funds are returned. Our fee is only charged on success.
No Win, No Fee — Always
We never ask for upfront payment. Our fee is 12.5–15% of recovered funds only. If we do not recover your money, you owe us nothing.
"I was in a relationship online for six months before I realised it was a romance scam. I had sent $28,500 in crypto. Cirius Justice recovered $22,000 and I paid absolutely nothing upfront."
