The first 24 hours after discovering a crypto scam are critical. Scammers move funds rapidly. This checklist preserves your recovery options.

Hour 1: Stop the Bleeding

Cease all communication with scammers. Do not send withdrawal fees, tax payments, or verification deposits. Change passwords on email, banking, and any connected accounts.

Hours 2–4: Preserve Evidence

Screenshot platform dashboards, save transaction hashes, export chat logs, and download bank transfer confirmations. Store copies offline.

Hours 4–8: Document and Report

File a police report in your jurisdiction. Note the report number for your legal case file. Report to your bank if fiat was involved.

Hours 8–24: Initiate Legal Tracing

Submit a free case evaluation to Swiss Lawmakers. We begin blockchain forensic assessment within 24 hours. No upfront payment required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Screenshot everything first, then you may disengage. Deletion without documentation destroys evidence.
Possibly, if remaining traceable assets exist. Never pay additional fees. Submit existing records for assessment.
