How to report a crypto scam — by country

Reporting helps investigators trace funds, can occasionally help freeze them, and warns others — even when recovery isn't possible. Pick your country for the exact authorities to contact.

Not listed? Search "[your country] report fraud" or "financial regulator," report to your local police, and report the scam wallet address on Chainabuse.

Do this in every country

• •Stop all contact and send no more money — including any "fee" or "tax" to withdraw.
• •Secure your accounts (unique passwords + 2FA) and move any remaining crypto to safety.
• •Preserve evidence: screenshots, the scammer's details, wallet addresses, and transaction hashes.
• •Tell the exchange or bank involved immediately — fast reporting can sometimes freeze funds.
