The longer you wait to report to your LOCAL POLICE the less chance you have of getting your money back. DO NOT listen to amateurs, most are spreading false information. Here are the FACTS! ### Bank Wire Transfer Money Recovery According to Interpol, it is possible to "claw back" or recall bank wire transfers. 1. Contact your bank immediately and ask them to do it. Many times they will not because they may end up losing money in this process. 2. File your local police report and get the police report number. Ask the local police to contact your bank and get the wire reversed. 3. If the bank will still not do it, read the following and give your police the Interpol link contained in the articles. It is a process that has been established worldwide to recall wire transfers up to a year after the transfer takes place.

If the bank still refuses to reverse the wire, we encourage you to explore litigation against your bank. ### Cryptocurrency Transfer Money Recovery One of the unique properties of cryptocurrency is that **it can be easily traced and tracked and recovered**. Once again, urgency is the critical factor, but crypto can be traced for a long time. 1. File your local police report and get the police report number. Ask the local police to trace the crypto and recover it. They have access to the tools to do this - though many agencies do not know this. 2. They may have to contact a State/Provincial cybercrime police unit to gain access to these tools, or they can obtain them directly. You will have to apply pressure if they resist and advocate for yourself. 3. There are two companies that make the software to help police agencies track crypto - it is not for consumers, just for the police. But they can get it and use it immediately to recover your crypto funds: 1. Chainalysis [https://www.chainalysis.com/](https://www.chainalysis.com/) 2. Blockchain Intelligence Group [https://blockchaingroup.io/](https://blockchaingroup.io/) 4. You may have to bypass the police and talk to the local district attorney's office or state/provincial attorney's office for support in getting this done. But Police and Prosecutors around the U.S. are recovering crypto every day now. ## SCARS Interview with a Bankruptcy Attorney - Bankruptcy for Scam Victims ## After The Scam ### Understand Scams Impact On Finances: -

To recover your cryptocurrency sent to scammers from your wallet or crypto ATM you must report the crime to your local police or District Attorney's office. They have the ability (if you insist) to trace the crypto transactions to where the money now resides. Once that is done, they can get court orders to recover and return the cryptocurrency to you. Only the police can do this.
