Can you get your crypto back after a scam?
Often there's a real path. Every crypto payment leaves a permanent record, and scammers eventually move the money to places that can lock it. Here's how recovery works, what helps, and what to do today.
Updated
The short answer
Recovery is possible when the stolen funds can be followed to an exchange, a stablecoin company or a bank that can freeze them. The sooner the money is traced, the better. Every case is different, because it depends on where the money went.

What helps
- Acting quickly, while the money is still where it can be frozen.
- Keeping every record: transaction history, messages, website addresses.
- Not paying any "release fee", "tax" or "unlock fee".
- Never sharing your seed phrase or passwords.
Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Stolen funds often sit in the same wallets or accounts for weeks or months. The only way to know is to trace them.
