Avoid Future Recovery and 'Refund' Scams

    Victim lists are sold and reused — assume more 'agents' will appear.

    What to do

      • Tighten DMs / requests on every social and messaging platform you used during the original scam
      • Subscribe to ScamSmart / Scamwatch / FTC alerts to stay ahead of new variants
      • Use only regulated channels for genuine recovery — your bank, regulator, courts and registered law firms
      • Talk to a victim-support service (Victim Support UK, IDCARE, FightCybercrime US) — they can advise on legitimate next steps
      • Never give wallet seeds, online-banking logins or remote access to anyone who promises recovery
