What are crypto recovery scams?

In general, cryptocurrency fraud is on a steep rise globally, overwhelming police with tens of thousands of cases per year. Often, scammers dupe their targets with fraudulent cryptocurrency trading or investment opportunities, fleecing them of their hard-earned income or retirement savings. Using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, they seek to exploit many people’s unfamiliarity as well as the anonymity afforded by the platform. So far, so well-known.

With thousands of victims desperate to recoup their money, a secondary fraud market has now opened up: crypto recovery scams. Here, fraudsters pretend to help victims of an initial scam recover their Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies), only to con them a second time!

Unfortunately, some victims search for and inadvertently reach out to scam recovery agents themselves. On the other hand, others may join scam-related discussions forums, where fake reviews give them hope by providing contact details of supposed scam recovery agents.

Others again are contacted out of the blue by a supposed recovery agent, investigator, or law firm, claiming to be assisting victims of the scam. In doing so, they might claim to have located the victim’s cryptocurrencies and can reverse the transaction. However, if the scam recovery agent or fraudulent law firm contacts the victim, they are actually the same scammers, simply operating a secondary scam. Also, be aware that cryptocurrency transactions CANNOT be reversed.

However contact is established, scam recovery agents promise an easy process and guaranteed success, while using fake news and fake reviews to disorient their targets. Sadly, Cybertrace is aware of some victims who have lost more through crypto recovery scams than through the initial con!
