How to Get Money Back from a Scam
Recovery starts with understanding your payment method. Each avenue offers different possibilities: credit cards allow chargebacks within specific windows, bank wires may be recalled if caught early, and cryptocurrency—though irreversible on-chain—can be traced and frozen at exchanges.
Forensic Funds evaluates your specific situation and deploys the appropriate recovery tactics. Whether it's coordinating with banks, tracing blockchain transactions, or filing regulatory complaints, our team maximizes your chances of reclaiming lost assets.
Threat Indicators (Common Red Flags)
- Requests for payment via irreversible methods (crypto, gift cards, wire)
- Promises of guaranteed returns or instant profits
- Pressure tactics demanding immediate action
- Refusal to provide verifiable contact information or registration
Recovery by Payment Type
Credit/Debit Cards: Chargeback rights typically extend 120 days from the transaction date. Speed is essential—the sooner you initiate, the stronger your position.
Bank Wire Transfers: Recall requests must be submitted within 24-72 hours for highest success rates. After this window, tracing beneficiary accounts becomes necessary.
Cryptocurrency: Blockchain analysis traces stolen funds to exchanges where freeze requests can be submitted with proper legal documentation.
