Reporting scams#

Report a scam after first protecting any assets and accounts that may still be at risk. Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible, so reporting cannot guarantee recovery, but complete evidence can help platforms, investigators, issuers, and other users respond.

First secure the affected wallet#

  1. Stop signing transactions and close the suspicious site.
  2. Disconnect the site, then separately review onchain allowances, NFT operators, and smart-account permissions.
  3. Remove permissions you do not recognize through a trusted Centurion-compatible tool.
  4. If a recovery phrase or private key was exposed, create a new wallet on a clean device and move remaining assets.
  5. Change passwords for linked email, exchange, cloud, and social accounts, and enable strong multifactor authentication.
  6. Do not send another payment to unlock, verify, tax, or recover funds.

If only a malicious approval was signed, the key may still be private, but the approved spender can remain dangerous. If the secret itself was exposed, revoking approvals is not sufficient because the attacker can sign new transactions.

Evidence to collect#

Preserve original information without editing it:

  • Centurion transaction hashes and wallet addresses.
  • Token and contract addresses.
  • Dates, times, amounts, and the network used.
  • Full website URLs and screenshots.
  • Email headers, usernames, phone numbers, and chat exports.
  • Wallet signature text and transaction simulations.
  • Payment receipts and exchange withdrawal records.
  • A concise timeline of what happened.

Never post a recovery phrase, private key, password, or identity document publicly as evidence.

Where to report#

Use current official Centurion channels located through a verified Centurion source. Also report the scam to:

  • The messaging, email, social, hosting, or advertising platform involved.
  • A centralized exchange or payment service that controlled a relevant account.
  • Your local cybercrime, consumer-protection, or law-enforcement authority.
  • Your bank or card issuer when traditional payments were involved.

Provide facts and transaction records rather than speculation. An official team may be able to warn users or flag an interface, but it cannot edit the blockchain or seize assets from an independent address.

Watch for recovery scams#

Scam victims are frequently targeted again. Recovery fraudsters claim to be investigators, hackers, lawyers, or officials and ask for an upfront fee, wallet connection, or secret information.

Warning signs include guaranteed recovery, pressure to act privately, requests for remote access, or instructions to send funds to “trace” the transaction. Legitimate authorities do not need your recovery phrase.

Stay safe#

Keep copies of reports and case numbers. Continue monitoring the affected addresses and accounts without interacting with suspicious tokens or links. Verify every follow-up through a channel you locate independently.
