What to Do Immediately After Your Money Is Stolen?
Losing money to a crypto scam is devastating, and unfortunately, it’s becoming more common across Australia. With scams getting smarter and harder to trace, the key to protecting your funds is acting fast while the scammer is still active.
Whether you were tricked into transferring cryptocurrency, had your wallet compromised, or were lured by a fake trading platform, there’s one crucial step you need to take immediately: contact cypherhuard.com.
As a leading cyber intelligence and fraud response team, Cypher Guard is built to respond in real-time, while your funds may still be recoverable and the scammer’s footprint is fresh. Here’s exactly what to do after you’ve been scammed, and how we can help you fight back.
Step 1: Contact Cypher Guard Immediately
The first minutes after losing money to a crypto scam are critical. Unlike traditional bank transactions, crypto payments are fast, irreversible, and often anonymous. That’s why you need a rapid-response team with real-time cyber tracking capabilities.
At CypherGuard, we deploy forensic tracking tools, blockchain analytics, and fraud detection systems to trace where your cryptocurrency went. Our systems analyse:
- Wallet addresses
- Transaction hashes
- Exchange activity
- Dark web mentions
- Scam-related smart contracts
If there’s a window to recover your funds, it’s in the first few hours. We act while scammers are still active before they steal your coins or shift them to private wallets.
Step 2: Gather Every Bit of Evidence
Don’t delete any messages, emails, screenshots, or wallet notifications. The more information we can gather, the better our chance of identifying patterns, scam networks, and fake websites.
Information we’ll need includes:
- Crypto wallet addresses involved
- Amount lost
- Platform or website used
- Screenshots of conversations or transactions
- Emails, URLs, or messages you received
This data allows our forensic team to connect your case to known scam groups and digital infrastructure used by repeat offenders.
Step 3: Secure Your Wallets and Accounts
Scammers often strike more than once. After your funds are stolen, they may still have access to your devices, passwords, or crypto apps.
We recommend:
- Disconnecting and securing crypto wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, etc.)
- Changing all passwords linked to exchanges and financial platforms
- Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA)
- Scanning your device for malware or remote-access tools
CypherGuard can assist with a complete digital audit and cybersecurity sweep to lock down your digital presence.
Step 4: File Official Reports With Our Help
Once we’ve collected and analysed your case, CypherGuard can help you draft detailed crypto reports for:
- Scamwatch (ACCC)
- Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC)
- Your crypto exchange
- Law enforcement (if necessary)
Why this matters:
- Your report can help trigger platform bans, scam takedowns, and legal actions.
- It may assist in chargebacks (if you used a card to fund the wallet).
- It creates a paper trail that could support a class action or lawsuit.
We assist in writing these reports using technical forensic data, giving your claim more weight.
How CypherGuard Tracks Crypto Scams
Our cyber intelligence platform is equipped with:
- Blockchain forensics to trace wallet activity across chains
- Smart contract analysis to decode scam DeFi protocols
- IP log correlation and device fingerprinting when scam sites are still live
- AI tools to scan forums, Telegram groups, and dark web markets for links to your case
This level of visibility lets us identify scam infrastructure and even link together multiple victims across similar cases, helping build a legal case or expose a scam ring.
Can I Get My Crypto Back?
It’s not always guaranteed, but acting quickly gives you the best chance.
Funds can sometimes be:
- Frozen by exchanges if still in transit
- Flagged as tainted by blockchain monitoring tools
- Recovered through legal action if scammer identities are discovered
Even if the funds are unrecoverable, our team can help:
- Prevent further losses
- Support insurance and fraud claims
- Connect you with legal partners for potential next steps
How Fast Action Stopped a Crypto Scam in NSW
In early 2025, a Sydney-based freelancer reported a scam after transferring $5,800 worth of Ethereum to what he thought was a legitimate investment platform. He realised it was fake after his access was cut off and customer support disappeared.
He contacted CypherGuard within the first hour. Our team:
- Identified the wallet address used
- Traced multiple outbound transfers using blockchain forensics
- Flagged the scam wallet to relevant exchanges
- Submitted fraud alerts and collaborated with an Australian crypto exchange
Result: $2,300 was frozen before it left the exchange, preventing the full loss. The victim also avoided a second scam attempt using the same wallet.
What the Law Says in Australia (2025)
Under Australian consumer law, crypto is treated differently from fiat currency, but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless.
✅ The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) warns that crypto scams are financial misconduct and may involve breaches of the Corporations Act.
✅ The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) tracks crypto crime and helps coordinate recovery with law enforcement.
✅ The new Scams Code of Practice (2025) requires platforms and banks to:
- Monitor suspicious transactions
- Respond promptly to fraud reports
- Cooperate with law enforcement and regulators
This means your case, when supported by CypherGuard’s digital evidence, has a stronger chance of being investigated and acted upon.
