This tool will allow victims of cryptocurrency-related scams to report threats and incidents to officials to help track and recover funds. It will also help identify these bad actors to law enforcement and prevent future crimes.
Specifically, the Scam Reporting Tool allows victims of cryptocurrency scams to report any Bitcoin ATM, online exchange, or crypto-related outlet by filling out a brief form online. Powered by Cybera’s platform, the tool automatically files criminal complaints for victims to hopefully recover funds. It also shares cybercrime data with law enforcement officials and blockchain forensics partners, which will use the data to assist with trend analysis and prevent further victimization, money laundering, and fraudulent transactions.
