    Report the Scam:
    Victims of cryptocurrency fraud should immediately report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), and local law enforcement.
    Track Transactions Using Blockchain Explorers:
    Using a blockchain explorer (like Etherscan or Tronscan), the victim can attempt to trace the funds’ movements. It may be possible to identify other victims or even attempt to trace the scammers’ identities.
    Consult a Cryptocurrency Fraud Lawyer:
    It’s crucial for the victim to consult a cryptocurrency fraud lawyer who can help them understand their legal rights, options for recovery, and the next steps.
    Notify the Cryptocurrency Exchanges:
    The victim should report the scam to exchanges or wallet providers used to transfer the funds. Some exchanges have mechanisms for tracing stolen funds.
    Monitor for Phishing Attempts:
    Scammers often attempt to continue targeting victims after the initial fraud. The victim should be cautious of any further phishing emails, fake recovery services, or follow-up scams.
