Pattern: Recovery / refund fraud
The account targets people who have already been defrauded, promising to trace and claw back stolen crypto for an upfront fee or a "gas" payment. It is a second pass over the same victim list — often run by the original crew — and no funds are ever returned.
- Approaches you unsolicited after you post about a loss
- Charges a fee, a retainer, or a "blockchain gas" payment before any work
- Shows dashboard screenshots of "recovered" balances that cannot be verified
- Real recovery only happens through law enforcement or the exchange
Sources and method
- GACS social scanner
Our scanner reads the public profile and recent posts, scores the behavioural signals, and re-checks the account on a schedule so a listing reflects current behaviour, not a single moment.
- Primary observation
The page or profile this listing was created from.
- 2 community reports
Independent submissions from people who ran into this. Reports are matched on the identifier, not the name, so renaming does not reset the count.
Checked against our live signals at listing time and re-checked whenever the identifier appears in a new report or feed update. If you believe this listing is wrong, you can appeal it and we will re-check the evidence.
