The Crypto Fraud Record

Enforcement actions, seizures, court filings and regulator warnings — collected daily and traced to the primary source that published them.

We will never take a penny from you, and we cannot get your money back. Only a court, an exchange or law enforcement can. We will never contact you first, and anyone who does — promising to recover your funds for a fee — is running the second scam.

I have been defraudedWhat to do in the first hour, what evidence to keep, and where to report it depending on where you are.Check a platformWhether a company is on the EU register of authorised crypto firms — and the questions that protect you better than any register.Check a wallet addressWhether it has been frozen, blacklisted or sanctioned. Runs in your browser; the address is never sent to us.Finding a lawyer or investigatorHow to check someone before you pay them, and how to recognise the second fraud.

Wondering whether any of this ever works? The measured answer — what has actually been frozen, seized and prosecuted.

Where This Comes From

We read 58 sources across 25 jurisdictions. 56 of 58 were answering and current when this page was last built. We publish what they said, attributed and linked. We do not restate an allegation as a finding of our own.

Of 1217 items those sources published, we kept 121. Most of what a crypto newswire publishes is market news, not fraud, and it does not belong here. We would rather show you a short page than a padded one.

Answering, but quiet

  • Finansinspektionen Sweden — nothing new for 40d (budget 30d)
  • SEC Nigeria — nothing new for 93d (budget 90d)

Publishes but cannot be read automatically, so we link rather than carry it: Europol.

We do not reproduce the FCA Warning List. Its terms do not permit it, so we link to it instead — and you should read it at the source, which is the authoritative copy.
