If you suspect you have been scammed by an unregulated broker, time is your most valuable asset. Follow this interactive checklist immediately to secure your remaining funds and document the fraud.
The scammers will attempt to extract "taxes," "withdrawal fees," or "liquidity charges" to drain your remaining capital. You must cut them off entirely.
If the broker had you install remote desktop software (like AnyDesk or TeamViewer) or connect your DeFi wallet, your devices are compromised.
Before the scammers delete your dashboard, you must capture the forensic data necessary for any future legal or blockchain tracing actions.
While local police often struggle with international crypto fraud, reporting creates an official paper trail required by banks and exchanges.
This is the most critical step. Within days of losing money, you will be targeted by people claiming they can "hack" the blockchain and recover your funds.
DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES TO RECOVERY AGENTS. Anyone on Instagram, Telegram, or Quora claiming they are a "Recovery Hacker" or "Cyber Intelligence Agent" who can trace your funds for an upfront fee is a scammer. They often work for the exact same syndicate that originally stole your money. Blockchain transactions cannot be magically reversed by a hacker.
