How to report a crypto scam in Romania
Report to the police and the relevant authorities below, and contact your bank immediately to flag the payment.
Report to these authorities
- •Poliția Română — file a report at your local station, or call 112 in an emergency.
- •DIICOT — investigates and prosecutes organised crime and cybercrime.
- •ASF — the financial supervisory authority, for investment fraud.
- •DNSC — the national cyber security directorate, for cyber incidents.
Do this in every case
- •Stop all contact and send no more money — including "fees" or "taxes" to withdraw.
- •Tell your bank immediately to flag/freeze the transaction.
- •Preserve evidence: screenshots, wallet addresses, transaction hashes.
- •Report the scam wallet address on Chainabuse.
⚠️ Beware "recovery" services. Anyone who contacts you promising to get your money back for an upfront fee is almost always a second scam. See the red flags →
