Cryptocurrency fraud

Cryptocurrency transactions can be difficult or impossible to reverse. If you believe you have been targeted by a crypto scam, act quickly to preserve evidence and contact the exchange or platform you used.

Keep transaction IDs, wallet addresses, exchange statements, chat messages, emails, website addresses and screenshots. Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone offering to recover funds.

Understand your options

A case review can help organise the available information and identify possible reporting channels. Blockchain tracing or a report does not guarantee that funds can be located or returned. Be cautious of anyone demanding advance fees or promising guaranteed recovery.
