5-step reporting checklist

1
Stop sending money
Cease every transfer, deposit, 'unlock fee', and KYC submission. The recovery scam is the secondary trap.
2
Preserve evidence
Screenshot all chats, profile pages, deposit screens, wallet addresses, and transaction hashes BEFORE the account disappears.
3
File with Ministerio Público Fiscal — Cibercrimen
Use the official Argentina channel above. Keep the case reference number — banks and exchanges will ask for it.
4
Notify your bank and exchange
Call (not email) your bank, card issuer, and any crypto exchange. Ask for a freeze, recall, or chargeback within hours of the transfer.
5
Add to GACS public blacklist
Submit the scam at /report so others searching the wallet, domain, or phone get warned.

Warning: recovery scams target victims

After you report, expect calls and DMs from fake "recovery agents", "blockchain lawyers", or even people impersonating Ministerio Público Fiscal — Cibercrimen. Real Argentina agencies never ask for upfront fees or crypto to recover funds.
