How to spot “fund recovery” scams

Know the warning signs before trusting someone with your recovery.

Your next steps

Be cautious of anyone promising guaranteed fund recovery or claiming they can reverse any transaction.
Avoid paying an upfront fee to someone who unexpectedly contacts you about recovering stolen money.
Verify a professional’s license with the relevant licensing authority—not a link supplied by the person contacting you.
Never give remote access to your device, cryptocurrency wallet seed phrases, passwords, or security codes.
If you suspect a scam, stop communicating and report it through official channels. Contact your bank promptly if you already paid.
