Targeted by a Scam Through Social Media?
We help you preserve messages and account evidence, document payments, secure affected profiles, and understand the most practical reporting or recovery options.
Protect the Account, Preserve the Evidence
Social media scams can move quickly from a direct message to a payment request, fake investment, impersonation, or compromised account. Important evidence can disappear when profiles are deleted or conversations are unsent.
We help organize the digital trail and explain realistic next steps. Recovery is never guaranteed, but prompt account security, platform reporting, and complete records can preserve more options.
Social Media Scams We See Most Often
Recognizing the method helps determine what to secure, preserve, and report.
Account Impersonation
Profiles that copy a person, business, public figure, or support team to gain trust.
Account Takeover
Compromised accounts used to contact friends, solicit payments, or distribute fraudulent links.
Marketplace Scams
Fake listings, payment redirection, non-delivery, and refund schemes on social selling platforms.
Direct-Message Investment Scams
Unsolicited crypto, forex, or investment approaches that move victims to private chats.
Fake Giveaways and Promotions
Contests, grants, prizes, and brand offers designed to collect payments or credentials.
Marketplace Scams
Fraudulent buyers or sellers may use deceptive listings, fabricated payment confirmations, or false delivery information to obtain money or goods. These schemes often leave victims without the item purchased, the payment expected, or a reliable way to recover their losses.
Common Questions
What should I do first?
Stop contact and payments, secure the account, change reused passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, and preserve screenshots and transaction records.
What evidence should I save?
Keep profile URLs, usernames, messages, emails, phone numbers, payment records, wallet addresses, transaction hashes, and platform report references.
Should I block the scammer immediately?
Preserve the evidence first if it is safe to do so, then block and report the account. Do not continue engaging in an attempt to investigate alone.
Can a deleted account still be reported?
Yes. Screenshots, links, cached emails, payment records, and platform identifiers may still support a report even if the profile disappears.
Can every social media scam loss be recovered?
No. Outcomes depend on payment method, timing, recipient, platform data, and jurisdiction. Avoid anyone guaranteeing recovery.
