Grounded first steps and warnings — not legal advice. Pair this with a structured scam report so our team can triage and match patterns safely.
Crypto scam response
- Stop sending funds; rotate credentials if a platform was compromised.
- Export transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and chat logs (redact personal IDs).
- Report to your exchange and local cybercrime unit where available.
Bank & wire fraud
- Call your bank’s fraud line immediately with dates and amounts.
- Request recall / SWIFT investigation for wires when timing allows.
- Preserve emails, SMS, and call logs that show misrepresentation.
Romance & social engineering
- Cease contact with the scammer; do not accept new “helpers” from the same thread.
- Document platform handles and payment trails.
- Seek emotional support from trusted people or counselors — shame is a tactic.
Fake recovery agents
- Anyone promising guaranteed return for an upfront fee is highly suspect.
- Legitimate agencies do not ask for gift cards or crypto to “unlock” funds.
- Report the new scam attempt to AVASC with prior case reference if you have one.
Evidence checklist
- Chronological narrative (private report form)
- Indicators: domains, numbers, wallets, transaction IDs
- Screenshots and PDFs (upload after account creation where required)
- Financial institution reference numbers
