Scams involving MetaMask - common questions

Can I get my money back from a MetaMask scam?

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

Is MetaMask a scam?

MetaMask is a legitimate crypto wallet, but fraudsters impersonate and abuse it - most often through malicious wallet-connect approvals. These scams happen on or around MetaMask rather than by MetaMask itself, which is why reporting and recovery focus on the parties who misused it.

How do I report MetaMask fraud?

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

How long does MetaMask 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 MetaMask case during the free assessment.
