Scam (crypto fraud)
In short
Crypto scams range from fake exchanges and "doubling" offers to romance fraud with fake trading apps. The common core: guaranteed returns and time pressure.
Three eternal rules: nobody doubles your money. Nobody legitimate asks for your seed phrase. And whoever pressures you to act fast is working against you.
I paid into a scam — now what?
Save screenshots, file a police report, report wallet addresses to tracking services — and never pay "recovery agents": that is the follow-up scam.
