5-step reporting checklist

  1. 1
    Stop sending money
    Cease every transfer, deposit, 'unlock fee', and KYC submission. The recovery scam is the secondary trap.
  2. 2
    Preserve evidence
    Screenshot all chats, profile pages, deposit screens, wallet addresses, and transaction hashes BEFORE the account disappears.
  3. 3
    File with Royal Malaysia Police — CCID
    Use the official Malaysia channel above. Keep the case reference number — banks and exchanges will ask for it.
  4. 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. 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 Royal Malaysia Police — CCID. Real Malaysia agencies never ask for upfront fees or crypto to recover funds.
