If It Only Just Happened
The first day matters more than any other. This is the short version.
- Stop all payments. Including anything labelled a fee, tax, gas top-up or verification charge.
- Export the evidence now. Chat histories, group members, the platform URL, your account and balance screens. These get deleted fast.
- Collect the transaction IDs. Every hash and wallet address, from your own wallet or exchange history rather than the platform's dashboard.
- Tell your bank or exchange. If any payment went through a regulated business, an early report is worth more than a late one.
- File an official report. With the police and your national fraud reporting body, even if the money looks gone.
- Ignore unsolicited recovery offers. Anyone contacting you claiming to have found your funds is running the second half of the same scheme.
