Patagonia24.pro and Trusty Ledger Exposed: Double Scam Targets Crypto Investors
In the evolving world of cryptocurrency fraud, some schemes don’t just steal your money once—they come back for more. A recent complaint received by Forteclaim Recovery Firm highlights a disturbing two-step fraud involving a fake trading platform called Patagonia24.pro and a so-called recovery agency named Trusty Ledger. Together, these entities appear to be running a coordinated scam, targeting victims twice: first as investors, then as desperate individuals seeking to recover lost funds.
Step One: The Patagonia24.pro Investment Trap
The scheme begins on Patagonia24.pro, a crypto investment platform operated under the name Patagonia Ltd. The site promised high returns on cryptocurrency deposits and claimed to offer automated trading powered by cutting-edge AI and advanced analytics.
Investors were lured in with:
- Promises of fast, high-percentage returns
- Claims of professional trading bots and risk-free strategies
- Personal account managers and VIP “investment tiers”
- Easy deposits via USDT, Bitcoin, or Ethereum
But once funds were deposited, the problems started. Users reported:
- Delayed or blocked withdrawals
- Sudden demands for additional “release fees” or “tax clearance”
- Customer service disappearing or becoming unresponsive
- A complete shutdown of the website
As of today, Patagonia24.pro is no longer active, leaving victims with no access to their accounts or funds.
Step Two: The Trusty Ledger Recovery Scam
Soon after losing funds on Patagonia24.pro, some victims were contacted—unsolicited—by a company called Trusty Ledger. This entity claimed to specialize in recovering funds lost to crypto scams, presenting itself as a blockchain forensic and legal recovery service.
On the surface, Trusty Ledger appeared professional, offering:
- Blockchain tracing and “reverse withdrawal” services
- Legal action filing assistance
- Direct contact with global regulators and crypto exchanges
Victims were told that recovery was “guaranteed” or “already in progress”—they just needed to pay a processing fee, wallet activation charge, or compliance tax. After these fees were paid, communication stopped.
This is a textbook recovery scam, where fraudsters prey on victims of previous scams by offering false hope in exchange for more money.
How These Scams Work Together
What makes this case especially concerning is the likely coordination between the original scam platform (Patagonia24.pro) and the recovery outfit (Trusty Ledger). Here’s how it typically unfolds:
- Initial scam: The victim is lured into investing on a fake platform like Patagonia24.pro.
- Disappearance: The platform disappears or blocks access once a significant amount is deposited.
- Second contact: Trusty Ledger reaches out, often using details that only the original scammer would know.
- False recovery: They promise to recover the funds but ask for additional upfront payment.
- Final ghosting: Once paid, they disappear again—completing the double scam.
Red Flags to Watch For
Whether you’re investing or trying to recover funds, watch out for these common signs of fraud:
- Unsolicited recovery offers after a known scam
- Promises of guaranteed recovery (no legitimate firm offers this)
- High-pressure tactics with limited-time fees or deadlines
- No verifiable registration, legal entity, or regulatory license
- Generic email addresses or poorly designed websites
What To Do If You’ve Been Targeted by Patagonia24.pro or Trusty Ledger
If you’ve fallen victim to either of these platforms—or both—take immediate action:
- Document everything: Keep copies of chats, emails, wallet transactions, and payment proofs.
- Report the fraud: Notify your national securities regulator or cybercrime division.
- Do not pay any further fees to entities claiming they can recover your money unless fully verified.
- Consult a professional: Real recovery firms don’t cold-call victims or guarantee outcomes.
