How Recovery Scams Work
After suffering a cryptocurrency fraud, victims are often contacted
by fake "recovery experts" who promise to recover their lost funds.
These scammers:
-
Claim they can guarantee recovery of your stolen cryptocurrency
-
Request upfront fees or "processing charges" before any work
begins
-
Ask for additional payments for "taxes," "insurance," or
"unfreezing" funds
-
Request access to your wallets, private keys, or seed phrases
- Use high-pressure tactics and create false urgency
-
Impersonate legitimate companies or law enforcement agencies
-
Show fake screenshots of "recovered" funds or fabricated success
stories
