Immediate steps

Contact your crypto exchange or wallet provider immediately and report the fraudulent transaction.

Save wallet addresses, transaction hashes, screenshots, and all communication with the scammer.

Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone — including people claiming to help recover funds.

Reporting

In the US, report to IC3 and the FTC. In Australia, report to Scamwatch and ReportCyber.

Be wary of crypto recovery scams — services demanding upfront fees to recover lost crypto are often fraudulent.

Official reporting channels

Create an FTC Identity Theft Report and a personalized recovery plan if identity documents or SSN were involved.

IC3 (FBI)
