Does this sound familiar?

Someone you met online encouraged you to invest in crypto or trading
You were moved to a private app or investment platform to “invest”
You can't withdraw, or you're asked to pay fees to get your money out
They have stopped replying or disappeared

This was not your fault. Pig-butchering scams are run by organised, professional criminal networks. Please stop sending money and do not pay any “fee” to withdraw speaking to someone confidentially is the right next step.

100% confidential. We speak with you by phone and never ask for payment to release your money. Be wary of anyone who only chats or wants upfront fees.

Common questions before you start

Is it too late to do anything?
Often not. Payment records and blockchain transactions are permanent, and legal steps can still be taken months later. The sooner you act the better, but older cases are still worth assessing.
I paid by bank transfer, can that be recovered?
Possibly. Bank-transfer (APP) fraud may be recoverable, and since October 2024 UK banks must reimburse many victims. If your bank has refused, that decision can be challenged.
I paid in Bitcoin or crypto, is it gone for good?
Not automatically. Crypto can usually be traced on the blockchain to the exchange it reached; recovery then depends on legal action. Tracing is possible; recovery is never guaranteed.
I was told to pay an AML or tax fee, is that normal?
No. No legitimate platform charges a fee to release your own money, that is part of the scam. Stop paying and have your case assessed.
The broker or website has disappeared, is there any point?
Yes. Even when a site vanishes, the money trail and payment records usually remain, and that is exactly what an investigation follows.
