What Do If You Become Victim of Cryptocurrency Fraud?

  • The amount of cryptocurrency sent, wallet addresses, and transaction IDs (TXID)
  • The exchange or platform you used
  • Screenshots of the scammer’s website or application
These documents will help you during the official reporting process and when contacting the CoinTR support team.
 

Report the Incident to Authorities

Immediately report the situation to law enforcement authorities. If possible, seek legal assistance from a lawyer. You may need to provide transaction details, screenshots, and identity information during the reporting process.
