Where do I report a crypto scam in Belgium?

Report it to Point de contact (suspect.be) (https://www.suspect.be), then notify your exchange and bank, and add it to the GACS public blacklist.

Can I recover money lost to a scam in Belgium?

Recovery is rare but possible if reported within hours. Banks and exchanges can sometimes freeze or recall funds. Never pay a 'recovery agent' — that is the secondary scam.

Should I report even small or attempted scams?

Yes. Even attempted scams feed national intelligence systems and help authorities map criminal networks.

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 Point de contact (suspect.be)
Use the official Belgium 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 Point de contact (suspect.be). Real Belgium agencies never ask for upfront fees or crypto to recover funds.
