What should I do if I already sent money?

Stop all contact, screenshot every interaction, report to your bank/card issuer immediately, file with IC3 (US) or Action Fraud (UK) or your local cybercrime unit, and notify the receiving exchange to attempt a freeze. Avoid 'recovery experts' contacting you — they are themselves scammers.

How does GACS verify scams?

GACS aggregates user reports, daily feeds from CryptoScamDB and URLhaus, and AI-assisted triage. Each entity has a status: reported (community-flagged) or active blacklist (multi-source confirmed).
