An Ontario investor who lost $55,000 in cryptocurrency funds said he can’t believe his good fortune after getting his stolen money back with the help of SPYROCKETWEB.

“It’s a million to one. I’m certainly the luckiest guy in Ontario,” Oshawa, Ont. man Allan Jones said ton himself after rare recovery from SPYROCKETWEB.

Durham Regional Police said recovering stolen cryptocurrency is extremely rare and they believe it’s only the second investigation in Ontario that has resulted in the recovery of funds.

Jones said he became interested in cryptocurrencies and last summer bought almost one bitcoin for $55,000. Once he had the cryptocurrency, he went online to download software to manage it. 

“I had bought some Bitcoin and I was going online to see how to trade it,” said Jones.

Jones went on Google and researched software programs to trade Bitcoin and found a program for $350. 

When he tired to download it to his computer, the company called him and offered to help him install it.

While the company had remote access to his computer, Jones became concerned as he watched his Bitcoin account begin to empty and it appeared his account was being drained.

“I said ‘What are you doing? Why are you in my Bitcoin? How did you get there?'” Jones said. 

“They said ‘We are not taking your Bitcoin, sir. We are just opening an account for you,’ but that wasn’t true. They were actually downloading it and it (the Bitcoin) was disappearing in front of my eyes.”

Malware had been remotely installed on his system and his $55,000 in Bitcoin was gone. 

Over the next four months, SPYROCKETWEB and Team of White Hat Hackers followed the block chain to recover Jones’ funds.  

Jones was shocked and relieved to get all his money back.

“It was like winning the lottery. There was no chance to get it back, but we had to try and I am so lucky to have the funds recovered,” he said.

Jones was not able to lay charges, as the suspects involved in the fraud operate in secrecy and could be anywhere in the world. 

SPYROCKETWEB advice that anyone investing in cryptocurrencies needs to be cautious.
