How this operation works
After an initial fraud, you were approached by a service claiming it could recover your money. It charged an upfront fee, or asked for wallet access or personal documents. Victims of fraud are deliberately targeted a second time, often using data from the first scam.
Warning signs
- They asked for a fee before any recovery took place
- They contacted you first, shortly after your original loss
- They guaranteed recovery or named a specific sum
- They asked for your seed phrase, remote access, or banking logins
- They claimed a connection to a regulator, court, or police force
How recovery usually works for this type
- Card chargeback on fees paid by card
- Reporting to the regulator whose name was misused
- Bank recall on recent fee transfers
What the claim form will ask you
Gathering these before you start will make filing quicker.
- Name of the recovery service *
- Their website address
- How did they contact you?
- Amount paid in upfront fees
- Did you share wallet keys, passwords, or remote access? If yes, securing those accounts is more urgent than the claim itself.
