A 'recovery service' contacted me promising to get my crypto back
After a theft, victims are often contacted by 'agencies', 'lawyers' or 'police officers' who know the exact amounts and dates. These are usually the same scammers. The sign is the combination: they contact you first, promise recovery, take an upfront fee and accept crypto only.
First steps
- Do not pay and do not send documents or seed phrases.
- Save the messages and payment details — attach them to your police report.
- Check any company yourself: registration, people, terms.
- Remember: the police do not charge victims to investigate.

If you need your case looked at
We do not guarantee recovery, do not take a percentage, never contact you first and never ask for seed phrases or passwords.
