FBI just exposed how crypto scammers run a DOUBLE TAP operation on victims.
First hit: drain the wallet
Second hit: "recovery services" that drain what's left
They literally hunt the same marks twice. Once you're on the list, you're marked as vulnerable.
The recovery scam playbook:
→ Pose as law enforcement or "blockchain recovery experts"
→ Promise to get stolen funds back
→ Charge upfront fees or ask for more wallet access
→ Vanish with whatever's left
If you got rugged, DO NOT:
❌ Trust random DMs offering help
❌ Pay "recovery fees" upfront
❌ Give out seed phrases or new wallet access
Real recovery services don't cold DM victims. FBI doesn't ask for fees via Telegram.
Stay paranoid out there.
