Scams involving Bitfinex - common questions

Can I get my money back from a Bitfinex scam?

In many cases, yes - and the sooner you act, the more options remain. We trace where funds moved through Bitfinex, request freezes and chargebacks with the banks and platforms involved, and pursue civil recovery where viable. Every Bitfinex case is different, so we give you a free assessment and agree any fees in writing before we begin.

Is Bitfinex a scam?

Bitfinex is a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange, but fraudsters impersonate and abuse it - most often through phishing withdrawal-alert emails. These scams happen on or around Bitfinex rather than by Bitfinex itself, which is why reporting and recovery focus on the parties who misused it.

How do I report Bitfinex fraud?

Stop all transfers on your Bitfinex account, change your password, and export every transaction, chat and email as evidence. Then report it: we help you raise the complaint with Bitfinex and its regulator, file with the fraud authorities in your country, and open a recovery case with us.

How long does Bitfinex fund recovery take?

It depends on how the money was moved and how quickly it can be traced and frozen. Blockchain tracing can surface leads within days, while bank chargebacks and civil recovery take longer. We set out a realistic timeline for your specific Bitfinex case during the free assessment.
