Que faire dans les 48 premières heures après une arnaque crypto

The first 48 hours after you realise you have been scammed are critical. Scammers move funds quickly through mixers, bridges, and off-ramps. Acting fast can improve your chances of recovery and protect any assets you still control.

1. Secure Your Remaining Assets

Disconnect affected devices from the internet. Move any untouched crypto to a new wallet with new credentials. Revoke suspicious token approvals (especially for dApps you do not recognise), change passwords, and enable 2FA on all related accounts and email.

2. Preserve Every Piece of Evidence

Collect transaction hashes (TXIDs), sending and receiving wallet addresses, screenshots of phishing pages or scam messages, deposit records, timestamps, and full communication logs. Save everything in a secure place—multiple backups are better. Do not delete anything.

3. Report to Authorities and Platforms

Report to your local law enforcement and to the financial or consumer protection authority in your jurisdiction. If funds passed through an exchange or platform, notify them as well. Formal reports create a paper trail that can support freeze requests and investigations.

4. Get a Professional Assessment

Recovery is not guaranteed, but in many cases funds can be traced to regulated exchanges or identifiable endpoints. A legitimate recovery service will offer a free initial assessment, never ask for your private keys or seed phrase, and set realistic expectations. Avoid anyone who demands large upfront fees or promises guaranteed results.
