What to do after crypto fraud
Speed and documentation determine what is still possible. This is not legal advice, but it is the order that maximises the chance of a usable case file.
Step 1: stop the damage
Cut contact. Move remaining funds to a new wallet with a new seed phrase, not a new address in the same compromised wallet.
Revoke approvals and change passwords and two-factor settings, starting with your email.
Step 2: document everything
Collect transaction hashes, addresses, screenshots, phone numbers, domains and amounts with timestamps.
Put it in one chronological document; police and regulators ask for exactly this.
- Transaction hashes and receiving addresses
- Chronology with date, time and amount
- All communication as screenshots
Step 3: report
File a police report and notify your national regulator so the party can be listed as a warning.
If money moved by bank transfer, notify your bank immediately; very recent transfers can sometimes be recalled.
Step 4: beware recovery fraud
Victim lists are resold. Within weeks 'recovery experts' will offer to retrieve funds for an upfront fee. That is a second fraud.
No service can guarantee recovery of stolen crypto against prepayment.

Can the police recover my crypto?
Sometimes, if funds reach a regulated exchange and action is fast. Reporting is necessary regardless.
Should I report small amounts?
Yes. Reports drive investigations and warnings; small amounts often add up to large cases.
Can my bank reverse the payment?
A recent SEPA transfer can sometimes be recalled; a crypto transaction cannot be reversed.
