In the FBI’s 2021 Internet Crime Report, there were more than 1,250 reports of scams stemming from Crypto ATMs accounting for nearly $30 million lost. This is a small percentage of the total cryptocurrency scams that took place in 2021. 

In response to this, The Cryptocurrency Compliance Cooperative and Cybera recently partnered up and launched an enhanced reporting tool that files scam victim’s complaints to help recover funds lost and share this data with law enforcement. 

Who is the Cryptocurrency Compliance Cooperative and Cybera?

What is this Scam reporting tool?  

Crypto3C’s and Cybera’s scam reporting tool allows people who are victims of crypto scams to report any Bitcoin ATM or crypto-related outlet simply by filling out a brief form online. Powered by Cybera’s data-centric platform, your complaints will immediately file criminal complaints to try to aid in recovering the funds. It will also share these reports and data with law enforcement groups to prevent further negligent transactions.  

You can find the new reporting tool on The Cryptocurrencies Compliance Cooperatives website here. 

With this partnership Crypto3C’s and Cybera will be able to educate while also effectively and safely sharing victims reports with law enforcement by utilizing data for typologies and tent analysis. 

This tool won’t only be an outlet for victims of crypto-related scams to report threats, but it will also help identify the scammers and prevent future crimes.
