About Scam First Aid
Scam First Aid is a free, independent resource for people who've been targeted by cryptocurrency scams. We help you act fast, report to the right authorities, and avoid being scammed a second time.
Why we exist
When someone is scammed in crypto, they're hit with panic, shame, and a flood of "recovery experts" who are usually just a second scam. Clear, honest, free guidance is hard to find at the exact moment it's needed most. We built this to be that guidance.
What we do
- •A step-by-step action plan that runs entirely in your browser and saves nothing.
- •Plain-language guides to the most common crypto scams.
- •A reporting directory with the right authorities for your country.
- •Clear warnings about "recovery" scams that target victims a second time.
What we are not
We are not a recovery service. We never ask for money, we never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, or remote access, and we never contact you first. If anyone using our name does, it's a scam — please report it.
How we're funded
To keep this free, the site earns through clearly-labelled affiliate links to genuinely useful security tools, display advertising, and voluntary reader support. None of this ever influences our guidance, and we never charge victims for help. See our Privacy Policy for how data is handled (short version: the action plan collects nothing).
