When fake forex scammers take ETH, BTC, or USDT, the loss may involve different coins — but the response should start in one place: evidence. U.S. consumer and law-enforcement guidance says victims should stop sending money immediately, preserve all transaction records, and report the fraud as quickly as possible. The FBI specifically says crypto-fraud victims should provide as much transaction information as possible, including wallet addresses, amounts, dates, and transaction IDs or hashes.
At RefundRequest.org, we help victims turn a scattered crypto loss into a structured case review. That means organizing the full trail across Ethereum, Bitcoin, and USDT transfers: wallet addresses, TXIDs, screenshots of the fake forex dashboard, chat logs, emails, deposit instructions, withdrawal denials, and every excuse the scammers used. A multi-asset case often looks confusing at first, but a proper review can show how the scam was staged and what next steps may still be worth taking. This matters because fake forex and crypto-investment scams commonly rely on false profits, fake balances, and repeated demands for more deposits.
If you lost ETH, BTC, or USDT to a fake forex platform, gather everything immediately:
-
wallet addresses
-
transaction hashes
-
the website or app used
-
account screenshots
-
messages with the “broker” or “account manager”
-
deposit receipts
-
any requests for taxes, unlocking fees, or verification payments
Just as important, do not send more crypto to recover what was lost. The FTC and CFTC warn that many so-called recovery offers are actually a second scam, especially when someone asks for an upfront fee, retainer, tax, or release payment before helping.
