What To Do If You Have Been Scammed
Immediate Steps
- Stop sending money, and do not pay any further “fees” to release funds.
- Contact your bank or card provider right away to report the transactions.
- Save screenshots, messages, emails, website addresses, wallet addresses, and transaction IDs.
- Secure your accounts by changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.
- Report the scam to the appropriate authorities in your country.
Beware of Fake Recovery Services
People who have been scammed are often targeted again by fake “recovery” services. Be cautious if someone:
- Contacts you unsolicited offering to recover your funds
- Guarantees a result or promises a specific recovery amount
- Asks for large upfront payments or cryptocurrency
- Pressures you to act immediately
Frequently Asked Questions
Can lost cryptocurrency be recovered?
Sometimes, but recovery is never guaranteed. Whether funds can be traced and pursued depends on factors such as how quickly action is taken, whether the funds moved through identifiable exchanges or accounts, the quality of the evidence, and the jurisdictions involved. A case evaluation can help you understand what options may be realistic for your situation.
How long do scam recovery cases take?
Timelines vary widely. Some matters, such as a prompt bank or card dispute, may move relatively quickly, while cases involving multiple jurisdictions, offshore entities, or litigation can take considerably longer. We can discuss a realistic timeline for your matter during your case evaluation.
What evidence should I keep if I have been scammed?
Keep everything related to the scam: screenshots, emails, text and chat messages, website addresses, wallet addresses, transaction hashes or IDs, bank statements, wire confirmations, receipts, and any contracts or account statements. Do not delete conversations or accounts, even if they are painful to look at.
How can I avoid being scammed a second time by a fake recovery service?
Be cautious of anyone who contacts you unsolicited offering to recover your funds, guarantees a result, asks for large upfront payments, or pressures you to act immediately. Verify that any law firm or recovery service is genuine before sharing personal or financial information.
How are legal fees structured?
Fee arrangements depend on the nature and complexity of the matter. They are explained during your case evaluation so you can understand the costs before deciding how to proceed.
