Cut Off and Report a Recovery-Scam Contact

    Engagement is the product; ending the conversation is the win.

    What to do

      • Stop replying; do not 'just check' — every message refines their script
      • Block them on every channel without warning
      • Report the firm to your national fraud authority (Action Fraud, Scamwatch, IC3, FTC)
      • Report the messaging account to the platform (WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, Instagram)
      • If you already paid, dispute the payment via the methods above (chargeback, recall, in-app dispute)
