Warning: Fake “Crypto Recovery” Scams

Many victims are targeted twice—first by a scam, then by fake “recovery” services. Here’s how to protect yourself.

We never ask for seed phrases or private keys. Submitting a request does not guarantee recovery.

What we do

  • Never pay upfront “recovery fees” or “taxes” to unlock funds.
  • Never share seed phrases, private keys, or remote access to your device.
  • Be cautious of impersonation (fake law firms, fake investigators, fake exchange staff).
  • Use evidence-based investigation and documented steps for any escalation.

What we need from you

Share only public or non-sensitive details. Do not share passwords, seed phrases, or private keys.

  • Wallet address(es) involved
  • Transaction hash(es), if available
  • Exchange / platform name(s)
  • Timeline of events
  • Screenshots / emails / chat logs (optional)
