Common Questions, Clear Answers
Everything you need to know about scam recovery, prevention and how we can help.
Can I get my money back after being scammed? โผ
It depends on how quickly you act. If you report within 24โ48 hours, banks and authorities may be able to freeze the scammer's account. Once funds move overseas or convert to crypto, recovery becomes harder โ but not impossible. Contact us immediately for a free assessment.
How can I spot a scam before losing money? โผ
Watch for universal red flags: urgency ("act now"), secrecy ("don't tell anyone"), upfront payment requests, unusual payment methods (gift cards, crypto, wire transfers), unsolicited contact, and promises that seem too good to be true.
Someone is offering to recover my money for a fee. Is this legit? โผ
No. This is a recovery scam โ a second scam targeting you after you've already been defrauded. Only law enforcement has the legal authority to recover funds. Never pay anyone claiming they can get your money back for an upfront fee.
What should I do immediately after being scammed? โผ
1. Call your bank immediately and request a transaction freeze. 2. Report to police โ ask for an emergency payment freeze. 3. Save all evidence: screenshots, receipts, chat logs. 4. Contact us for free guidance on next steps.
Is Adriannotch really free to consult? โผ
Yes. Initial consultations and case assessments are 100% free. We explain your options honestly and only proceed with your full agreement. We never ask for upfront payment before any recovery work begins.
I was scammed using cryptocurrency. Can I recover it? โผ
Crypto recovery is difficult but not impossible. Blockchain is transparent โ all transactions are recorded and traceable. Authorities can freeze exchange accounts if funds haven't been laundered through mixers. Report immediately with wallet addresses and transaction hashes.
What evidence should I save? โผ
Save everything: all chat screenshots (showing IDs/phone numbers), bank and transaction records, scammer profile screenshots, any links or apps they sent, phone numbers used, email addresses, and any platform or wallet addresses involved.
Do you work with clients outside the US/UK? โผ
Yes. We operate globally across 60+ countries. Scam recovery follows similar legal processes worldwide, and we have enforcement contacts and legal partners across most major jurisdictions.
Will the police actually do anything? โผ
Yes โ but only if you report. Police cybercrime units work with banks to track and freeze funds. However, they need your report to act. The challenge is that scammers move money within hours, which is why reporting within 24 hours is critical.
How long does recovery take? โผ
It varies significantly by case. Emergency bank freezes can happen within 24โ72 hours. Full legal recovery through courts can take months. Crypto tracing and exchange liaison typically takes 2โ8 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline after assessing your case.
