Fraudsters trick victims into believing they’re investing safely in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or altcoins through fake platforms. But these scammers aim to steal your money, not grow it.
Crypto investment scams involve fraudsters pretending to offer legitimate cryptocurrency investment opportunities. These scams often involve fake exchanges, wallet apps, or brokers who promise high returns on your investment.
In reality, your money goes straight to the scammers — and once you try to withdraw, they vanish or block you.
Yes — if you made payments to a fraudulent crypto investment platform, you could be eligible for a refund. Under the APP fraud reimbursement rules, your bank may be responsible for protecting you against scams.

When you try to withdraw, new “fees” appear, each requiring more payments. Scammers process every bank transfer instantly, making funds nearly impossible to recover.
James saw an Instagram ad for “CryptoWealthX,” promising 25% monthly returns. He registered and was assigned a personal advisor, Alex.
James first sent £1,000 from his Nationwide account. His dashboard showed rapid growth. Alex encouraged him to invest more, leading James to transfer an additional £15,000.
When he tried to withdraw, he was told to pay a £2,500 “regulatory clearance fee.” After paying, more fees appeared. James lost £18,500 before realizing the truth.

David saw a fake BBC article about Rishi Sunak promoting a Bitcoin platform. After registering, he got a call from a “senior manager” who guided him to transfer £5,000 via his Halifax app.
