FAQ about help with crypto fraud

What should I do immediately if I suspect crypto fraud?

Stop depositing and do not transfer money for “release fees” or “taxes”. Collect all conversations, screenshots, transaction IDs and wallet addresses in a safe location. Change passwords of accounts involved and enable two-step verification. Then have the situation assessed objectively before you take further steps.

Where can I turn for help with crypto fraud?

For an official report you go to the police, for signals about rogue providers you notify the AFM and Fraudehelpdesk. For independent analysis of the blockchain and the platform you can engage a specialised party. For court steps you engage your own law firm.

Can lost crypto still be recovered?

Full recovery is in practice often difficult and certainly not guaranteed. Blockchain analysis can however help to map money flows, possibly to central exchanges, which produces information that can be used by police or a law firm. Please be careful with parties that “guarantee” to recover your funds, that is often a form of follow-up fraud.
