Recover from a Pig-Butchering Scam Without Losing More

    The 'profit' on the dashboard is fake — every extra 'tax' or 'fee' is more loss.

    What to do

      • Stop ALL further payments — including any 'tax', 'gas fee', 'unlock' or 'verification' charge
      • Open chargebacks / bank recalls for every payment you can
      • Report crypto txids to the receiving exchange's compliance team and to the FBI's IC3 (US) or your local cybercrime unit
      • Block the scammer on every channel; do not 'confront' them — it tips off the operation
