While ReportYourScam.com publishes scam reviews, we also refer victims of cryptocurrency scams to CNC Intelligence. Their tailored asset tracing services help gather key evidence to assist in fund recovery.

Through CNC Intelligence, we connect victims with a global team of certified cyber investigators, capable of conducting in-depth investigations and gathering critical evidence across different continents.

ReportYourScam is an informational website that warns the community about online scams, especially cryptocurrency scams.
We can assist people who have lost money to online scams. However, we focus primarily on cryptocurrency scams involving Bitcoin and other crypto coins (altcoins).
Cryptocurrency scams are currently the most widespread (and often the most financially devastating) type of scam.
Some people have lost their whole life savings, which can often amount to hundreds or even millions of dollars.
At ReportYourScam.com, our specialty is cryptocurrency scams, though we can offer advice for any online fraud.
We concentrate on cryptocurrency scams due to their increasing prevalence in recent times. This trend is primarily attributed to how blockchain technology has simplified the process for fraudsters to anonymize financial transactions.
Why are cryptocurrency scams so common?
There are several reasons for that.
For one thing, some early investors in Bitcoin made a fortune when the coin reached an all-time high of almost $70,000 per Bitcoin in November 2021; now, many people hope to replicate that success by investing in Bitcoin and altcoins.
Secondly, people perceive cryptocurrencies as an anonymous way of transferring money.
Scammers think they can have vast sums of money transferred to them and then disappear.
Fortunately, we here at ReportYourScam.com are experts in exposing scams and assisting victims of cryptocurrency scams.
So, if you have encountered a scam that has caused you or others to lose money, please let us know so we can warn others and assist you.
Recovering cryptocurrency lost to online scams is challenging due to blockchain transactions’ anonymous and irreversible nature.
Here are some potential ways it could be attempted, though none of them guarantee success:
Or you can take the easy way and get Cybersecurity Assistance: Some private cybersecurity firms specialize in blockchain analysis and could potentially trace the scammer’s wallet or track the movement of the stolen cryptocurrency. Again, this isn’t a guarantee of recovering your funds, but it could assist authorities in their investigation.
Some companies, such as CNC Intelligence, have tools like Chainalysis capable of tracking cryptocurrency movement across the blockchain. This could potentially identify scammers, mainly if they try to convert the stolen cryptocurrency into fiat currency through a regulated exchange.
We at ReportYourScam recommend contacting CNC Intelligence because they streamline the entire process, guiding you through each step. They will trace the funds and tell you what you must report to the authorities. They can also recommend a lawyer specializing in such cases and work with law enforcement to recover the funds.
Remember, recovering stolen cryptocurrency is incredibly challenging and often not possible. Scammers typically use advanced techniques to stay anonymous and untraceable.
Here’s a comprehensive step-by-step guide on what to do if you become a victim of a scam:
Online scams have become more sophisticated and can take many forms. Here are some common types:
Remember, it’s important not to blame yourself. Scams can happen to anyone, and scam artists are becoming increasingly sophisticated. The important thing is to act quickly and report the scam.

I was almost scammed by someone pretending to be from Xfinity, they offered 50% off my bill if I paid $500 up front and I would have no bill for 6 months then my bi would drop byb50%. They wanted me to pay using a Target gift card , they sent txt messages making it look like it came from Xfinity and gave me a confirmation number and Xfinity billing number – it was all a scam.
(Reported Phone Number: 800-314-0325)
Thank you for your report! It’s important to note that legitimate companies like Xfinity will never ask for payments via gift cards, and any such request is a red flag for potential fraud. The phone number you’ve provided does not seem to be an official Xfinity number. It’s crucial to always verify any communication directly with the service provider through their official contact channels. Remember to always exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of any offers or unsolicited communications.
Whom I thought was a friend messaged me as asked did I know about the DHHS free Grant program also telling me he had checked it out and I was eligible to which I replied NO. He then put me in touch with a “so called” agent who asked me for the usual info and told me I was eligible for One hundred thousand,then started asking me for money, was then was then told how lucky I was, I was eligible for $30000.00 from there she was asking for MO’s, then cash . I finally realized th so=called friend had hacked my friend’s account, so have to assume the so-called Agent and him were in cahoots. Finally got for me for $10,00.00 plus.
Sorry to hear you were scammed. It’s important to always be cautious when someone contacts you unexpectedly and offers you something that seems too good to be true. In this case, it seems like your friend’s account was hacked and used to lure you into a fraudulent scheme. Unfortunately, once you sent the money, it is unlikely that you will be able to recover it. It’s important to report the scam to the authorities to prevent others from falling victim to the same scheme. Additionally, it’s a good idea to change your passwords and be more cautious about giving out personal information online.
They almost get me ..i got my debit but told me i need American express card
Good evening
I tried to rent a car with a company by the name of Book me car rental. The reason I tried to get a car is because there was a death in our family. They scammed me out of $355.00
They go by the number of 8557512599. They told me to buy an American Express gift card. When I called the gift card company, they told me to call the company Book me car rental back, to see if they can give me back my money. I said there’s no way they will give me back my money if they just scammed me out of my money, but I still tried to call the car company back to see if they would refund me. At that time, I realized I was blocked. Thirty minutes later I called the police. When I called the police, they told me there was nothing that can be done because the charges were pending. Then the police said, if the charges went through, call them back. Hours later, the transaction went through. I called the police back, and they said, there’s nothing that can be done. The police told me to call the scam car company back, to try to get my money back. I explained to the police that the book me car rental company had blocked me. We used different phones to try to call them back, then they’ll tell us to call back later, because they had no more cars at that time. When I tried to call back later in the day(off different phones) they realized we (my family and I)were all connected. Please help me get my funds back. I have the card and the proof of purchase. Thanks in advance.
