Where do I report a crypto scam in Saudi Arabia?

Report it to Public Prosecution / Kollona Amn app (https://www.moi.gov.sa), then notify your exchange and bank, and add it to the GACS public blacklist.

Can I recover money lost to a scam in Saudi Arabia?

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 Public Prosecution / Kollona Amn app
Use the official Saudi Arabia 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 Public Prosecution / Kollona Amn app. Real Saudi Arabia agencies never ask for upfront fees or crypto to recover funds.
