In the fast-evolving world of cryptocurrency, scams are becoming more sophisticated, leveraging AI, fake platforms, and deceptive promises to defraud victims of millions. At ComplyChain Solutions, a Wyoming-based compliance consulting firm specializing in AML/KYC, regulatory consulting, risk management, and blockchain forensics, we've seen the devastating impact firsthand. Founded by Adnan Tahir (CBP, CCI, CRC), with experience at HSBC, Deloitte, Bitfinex, Kraken and affiliations like CoinBrokerage.io and CoinForensics, we're committed to accurate tracing and recovery efforts.


This article appeals to scam victims: If you've lost funds to verified frauds, you're not alone. We're gathering affected individuals to explore class action lawsuits, recovery options, and fraud charges against perpetrators—including banks and exchanges that may have facilitated these schemes, knowingly or unknowingly.


Verified Crypto Scams

While there's no guarantee of success, uniting victims can set precedents, hold enablers accountable, and influence new regulations. With connections to lawmakers in DC, we can present collective cases to craft laws addressing the unknown legal landscape of AI-enhanced crypto scams. As technology advances, so do the threats—let's fight back together.


The Rise of Crypto Scams: Why They're Proliferating


Crypto scams cost U.S. consumers over $4 billion in 2024, per FTC data, with 2025 trends showing increased AI-driven schemes like deepfake endorsements and automated phishing. Common tactics include fake trading platforms showing artificial gains, then demanding fees for withdrawals, or impersonation scams using Bitcoin ATMs. The FTC's 2024-2025 report on older adults highlights investment frauds as the top loss category ($744 million in 2024, up 38%), often involving crypto. Underreporting means actual figures are higher—estimated $10-81 billion for older victims alone.


These scams exploit regulatory gaps, but ComplyChain uses multi-tool verification to trace funds, identify patterns, and support legal action. If you've been hit, reporting to FTC, IC3, or BBB is crucial— it builds evidence for broader remedies. As time goes on, we anticipate more victims of complex and sophisticated scams, making collective action essential.


Verified Crypto Scams: A Growing List


Based on reports from reliable sources like the DFPI (California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation), FTC, IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center), BBB, and SEC warnings, here are verified or commonly reported crypto scams in 2025.


This isn't exhaustive, but focuses on fraudulent trading platforms, investment schemes, and recovery frauds. If your experience matches, contact us to join potential class actions.

How ComplyChain Can Help: From Investigation to Justice


No one is tackling these issues head-on, but ComplyChain and our DC-based legal partners are stepping up. Here's our approach:


  • Forensic Tracing: Using multi-tool verification (CoinForensics, Chainalysis alternatives), we trace stolen funds, identifying responsible parties—including banks/exchanges that enabled transfers.

  • Victim Aggregation: Share your story confidentially to join potential class actions or individual lawsuits for recovery. We collaborate with lawyers experienced in ATA claims and fraud, spearheading this new area of law.

  • Pursuing Charges: Work with DOJ/FBI for criminal fraud charges; no guarantees, but collective evidence strengthens cases based on merits.

  • Setting Precedents: By uniting victims, we aim to establish legal benchmarks in crypto fraud, holding platforms accountable (e.g., via subpoenas for transaction logs).

  • Influencing Regulations: Our partners in Washington DC are advocating for regulations that apply to all MSBs to be extended to fintech firms—who appear compliant but let scammers use their platforms. The recent Binance case, where families of the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks are taking action under the Anti-Terrorism Act, could set a precedent for holding middlemen responsible.

  • Free Case Evaluation: Call us for a free consultation—we'll review your case and refer to our legal partners if it has potential for class action or other lawsuits.


One major hurdle for victims is when platforms claim ignorance or refuse to comply with requests for information that could assist in legal routes to justice. Holding these middlemen accountable—knowingly or unknowingly providing a platform for scammers—is key to prevention. As AI and crypto advance, scams will evolve; our efforts aim to create remedies and safer regulations.
