Scam Recovery Checklist

Contact your bank or payment provider first and request holds, recalls, dispute actions, or card replacements as applicable. Then change passwords for email, banking, and social accounts starting with your primary email.

Preserve evidence including receipts, screenshots, call logs, wallet addresses, messages, invoices, and device details. File a formal complaint and keep reference numbers.

Monitor your accounts for follow-up fraud. Scammers often return pretending to be recovery agents, legal officers, or support staff.
