If your country is not listed

Three routes work almost everywhere. Contact your bank first. Report to your national police — most forces now take online reports for fraud. And if an investment platform is involved, check your national financial regulator's register and warning list, which will often already name it.

If you would like your country added, send us the official reporting URL and we will check and add it.

A warning about "recovery"

Anyone who contacts you after a loss offering to recover your money for a fee is running a second scam on the same victim. It works because it arrives exactly when someone is most desperate, and because the first scam has already proved they will pay. Real asset recovery is done by police, by your bank, and occasionally by a lawyer you found yourself and paid on normal terms — never by a stranger who contacted you first. See recovery scams.
