Start your free case assessmentHow crypto scam works
Crypto scams span fake exchanges, fraudulent wallets and 'wallet-drainer' approvals that empty balances, as well as rug pulls on worthless tokens. Victims are induced to send crypto or grant smart-contract permissions, after which assets are dispersed across wallets to obscure the trail.
Warning signs
- 'Support' asking for your seed phrase or private keys
- A wallet 'connect' that requests unlimited approvals
- Tokens you can buy but never sell
- Exchanges with no regulatory footprint
- Promises of airdrops or 'doubling' your coins
The recovery framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the bodies and rules most relevant to your case are:
| Financial regulator | Securities Commissions (FBiH / RS); Central Bank of BiH (CBBH) |
|---|---|
| Banking / payments supervisor | Banking Agencies FBA / ABRS |
| Dispute resolution / ombudsman | Banking-system Ombudsman (within FBA and ABRS, one per entity) |
| Currency | BAM |
| SEPA zone | no |
Visa/Mastercard chargebacks under scheme rules. NOT in SEPA — cross-border non-card payments use international wire/SWIFT. Banks supervised by entity Banking Agencies (FBA/ABRS); two banking-system Ombudsmen (one per entity).
If you paid a bank in Bosnia and Herzegovina — for example UniCredit Bank d.d. Mostar, Raiffeisen Bank BiH or ASA Banka Sarajevo — contact its fraud team as soon as possible, as a recall is far more likely while the money is still there.
Can you get your money back?
For crypto scam cases in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the primary route is usually crypto tracing & recovery. Crypto tracing follows funds across the blockchain from your wallet, through intermediary addresses, to the exchange or service where they are cashed out — producing an evidenced trail for that exchange and law enforcement.
Where the facts allow, we also pursue regulator & ombudsman complaint as a secondary route.
On-chain tracing can follow funds to the exchange where they are cashed out; a timely, evidenced report to that exchange and the regulator is the realistic path. Recovery is never guaranteed but is materially easier the sooner tracing begins.
Evidence to gather now
The stronger your evidence, the better your prospects. For crypto scam, gather:
- Your wallet address and the scam wallet/contract addresses
- Transaction hashes (TxIDs) for each transfer
- The exchange or dApp used
- Any approvals you granted
- Communications with the 'project' or 'support'
The recovery process
- Free assessment. We review how, when and to whom the funds were sent.
- Evidence pack. We assemble transaction records, communications and platform details.
- Action. We initiate the relevant route — crypto tracing & recovery or regulator & ombudsman complaint — and engage the bank, provider or exchange.
- Escalation. Where needed, we escalate to Banking-system Ombudsman (within FBA and ABRS, one per entity) or Securities Commissions (FBiH / RS); Central Bank of BiH (CBBH).
Why acting fast matters
Tracing is possible at any time, but freezes and exchange cooperation are easier before funds are withdrawn or laundered. Recovery prospects fall sharply once funds are withdrawn or moved across borders, so the sooner you start, the stronger your position. Even older cases can be worth assessing — but do not wait to find out.
