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 Cục An ninh mạng (A05)
    Use the official Vietnam 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 Cục An ninh mạng (A05). Real Vietnam agencies never ask for upfront fees or crypto to recover funds.
