Case summary

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.

How to recognise it
  • 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
