Falling victim to a crypto scam is painful enough — but what many people don’t realize is that scammers often come back pretending to be the solution.
These are called “crypto recovery scams.” They target victims who’ve already lost funds, promising to “help get your money back.” Instead, they demand new payments, personal information, or wallet access — and the victim ends up losing even more.
How Recovery Scammers Find Their Targets
Fraudsters often purchase or share leaked databases of crypto scam victims. Some even pose as government agencies, law firms, or legitimate companies.
They’ll say they’ve “found your lost coins” or “traced your funds” — then ask for a “processing fee,” “tax,” or “unlock charge” to release them.
In reality, they have no access to your funds — only to your emotions.
Common Warning Signs of a Fake Recovery Firm
- They demand payment upfront.
Real investigative firms (like Lost Coin Rescue) operate on a results-based model, never requiring payment before work begins. - They claim to work with government agencies but refuse to provide credentials.
Always verify official partnerships through published or verifiable contact details. - They promise instant recovery or guaranteed success.
No legitimate recovery professional can make such promises — blockchain tracing takes time, documentation, and legal steps. - They ask for wallet access, private keys, or remote device control.
Never share access to your funds or devices — a real company will only request transaction details (TXIDs).
