Crypto Scam: Losing Cryptocurrency in Minutes – and How You Might Get It Back
“It looked like a legitimate app. The investment seemed serious, even customer support responded. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, the account vanished. I had over CZK 120,000 in it.”
Fraudulent cryptocurrency investments are becoming one of the most common types of online scams.
Scammers lure victims with promises of high returns, professional-looking apps, fake reviews, and even phone calls from supposed “advisors.”
But when it’s time to withdraw, the system breaks down, the app disappears, or you’re asked to pay more.
Many victims believe there’s no point in reporting it — but there is.
Crypto investment scams often involve not only fraud (§ 209 of the Czech Criminal Code) but also unauthorized handling of payment instruments (§ 234) or money laundering (§ 216).
Common signs include promises of high returns, fake exchanges or apps, and blocked withdrawals.
Filing a criminal complaint can help trace wallet addresses, identify operators, and initiate international cooperation.
📌 Common Signs of a Crypto Scam
Ads on Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, or via email
Professional-looking platforms or mobile apps
Initial profits seem legitimate
“Support” responds, and you’re assigned a personal “advisor”
Withdrawals are blocked or require further deposits
The app or site disappears, communication stops
Crypto is sent to a wallet with no traceable operator
⚖️ Possible Criminal Charges
Fraud (§ 209)
Unauthorized handling of payment instruments (§ 234)
Money laundering (§ 216)
Breach of trust in asset management (§ 220) – in some cases
🧾 What Evidence Should You Prepare?
Screenshots and records from the platform or app
Cryptocurrency wallet addresses
Transaction confirmations (e.g., from Binance, Revolut, etc.)
Communications with “support” or your “advisor”
Ads, links, and promotional materials
A detailed description of the entire “investment” process
❗ Risk and Hope
Even if the scammers are abroad, cryptocurrency transactions are often traceable – especially if action is taken quickly.
Cooperation between countries and exchanges exists. But without a well-written criminal complaint, nothing happens.
Don’t stay silent. Just filing the report can help protect others from losing their money too.
