About Fraud First Aid
Losing money to a scam is disorienting, and the next steps are rarely clear. Fraud First Aid brings the practical guidance into one calm, honest place: what to do first, how to avoid being targeted again, and where to report. It is free, and it always will be.
What we do
- Explain the first steps to take after you lose money to a scam.
- Point you to the official agencies that take reports in your country.
- Help you recognise recovery scams that target victims a second time.
- Keep everything free and open, with nothing to sign up for.
What we never do
- Take on cases, act as agents, or contact scammers for you.
- Charge any fee, or ask for a deposit, tax or 'release' payment.
- Handle, hold or move your money or crypto.
- Ask for your wallet details, seed phrase, private keys or passwords.
- Guarantee that any funds can be recovered.
An important note
Fraud First Aid is an educational resource only. We are not a law firm, a government agency, or a fund-recovery service, and we are not affiliated with any of the organisations we link to. The links point to official bodies so you can report directly to them yourself.
Nothing here is legal or financial advice. For advice about your specific situation, speak to a qualified, regulated professional. Be cautious of anyone who promises to recover your funds, especially for a fee, and never share your seed phrase, private keys or passwords with anyone.
