Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
