Emergency Escape Hatch
🚨 Realizing it's a scam right now? Read this IMMEDIATELY.
The next four steps protect your evidence, your remaining funds, and your options. Do them in order.
- 1DO NOT CONFRONT THE SCAMMER.Act normal so they do not freeze your login, delete the chat, or wipe evidence yet. Stay calm and buy yourself time.
- 2SCREENSHOT EVERYTHING.Save your chat history, the scammer's phone number logs, profile pictures, group invites, deposit instructions, and transaction history right now — before the account disappears.
- 3DOWNLOAD TRANSACTION DATA.Export every transaction hash, wallet string, exchange withdrawal record, and bank wire reference. These are the only things investigators can actually chase.
- 4CEASE ALL PAYMENTS.Never pay a "tax", "clearance fee", "anti-money-laundering deposit", or "account unlock" to get your money back. That is the secondary trap and it always escalates.
