FCA Follows FinTelegram And Issued Warning Against Blockchain.com Fund Recovery Scam!

Spread financial intelligence

FinTelegram has warned about the Blockchain.com fund recovery scam several times recently. In this case, the unsuspecting victims receive emails from Blockchain Access UK Ltd, which the FCA regulates. Customers are typically told in this email that a balance has been discovered on a Blockchain.com wallet. For the balance to be released, victims must transfer their personal information, IDs, and money to cover the costs incurred. The FCA has now also issued a warning.

The FCA has warned that fund recovery scammers are acting as clones of Blockchain Access UK Ltd and using its credentials. The FCA lists dozens of email addresses, domains, and phone numbers these scammers use.

The scam is vast. The FinTelegram team receives almost daily reports from victims and whistleblowers telling us about contacting them and the different methods used.

Be super-suspicious if you are contacted via email, social media, WhatsApp, or Telegram by unknown people telling you a balance has been found on a wallet. Fairy tales typically do not happen in real life.
