A scam blowing up this year that nobody warns you about: the recovery scam. Here’s how it works.
You get scammed once. Crypto, romance, fake invoice. Doesn’t matter. You realize, you panic, maybe you tell the scammer “I’m calling the cops.”
They record that call. Then they wait 4 to 8 weeks.
Then a “police officer” calls. Or a “lawyer.” Or someone from a “consumer recovery agency.” They know specific details about your scam. Because they ARE the people who scammed you.
They offer to help recover your money. Just need an upfront fee. Gift cards work great, apparently. Or more crypto as a “recovery bond.”
Rule: Anyone who contacts YOU first about money you lost is the scammer. Government agencies and law enforcement do not work this way. Ever.
Share this. Send it to anyone who might be vulnerable to getting scammed TWICE.
