About the Scam

What is an Employment Scam?

  • Scammers recruit victims through fake job postings or unsolicited messages on WhatsApp, Telegram, or platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed.
  • Victims are assigned simple task-based work: rating products, completing app interactions, or similar activities, and receive small payouts to build trust.
  • Once trust is established, victims are told they must deposit cryptocurrency to unlock higher-paying tasks, clear their account balance, or avoid losing accumulated earnings.
  • After the deposit is made, the platform or employer becomes unreachable and the funds are gone.
  • Many victims are then targeted by recovery scammers: fake agents who promise to retrieve the lost crypto for another upfront fee.

Our Approach

How We Help

Sue the Scammers

We trace your crypto through every wallet and exchange, then file civil lawsuits and seek emergency freezing orders to lock down whatever remains.

Seek Victim Remission

If your losses connect to assets the government has already seized, you may be entitled to file a remission petition and recover from those funds.

Work with Law Enforcement

We serve as your law enforcement liaison, with established contacts at FBI and Secret Service offices nationwide, opening freeze mechanisms a civil attorney alone cannot access.

Sue the Facilitators

When the scammers are beyond reach, the exchanges, platforms, and launderers that enabled them often aren't. We evaluate every case for third-party liability.

Common Questions

FAQs

Can I recover money lost in an employment scam involving cryptocurrency?
Sometimes. Employment scams often involve smaller individual losses and overseas operators, which can limit options compared to larger fraud cases. That said, recovery is possible in some situations, particularly when funds moved through identifiable exchanges or where third-party liability applies. What is realistic depends on how much was lost, where the funds went, and how much time has passed.
What is a task scam?
A task scam is a form of employment fraud where scammers recruit victims through fake job postings or unsolicited messages, typically on WhatsApp or Telegram. Victims complete small tasks and receive small initial payouts to build trust, then are required to deposit cryptocurrency to unlock higher-paying tasks. Once they deposit, the funds are taken and the platform disappears.
What should I do after a job scam involving cryptocurrency?
Stop all contact and payments. Save everything you have: messages, screenshots, transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and any platform or profile URLs. Do not send additional funds to recover your balance. When you are ready, speaking with a cryptocurrency fraud attorney can help you understand what happened and what recovery options may be available.
Is CyberJustice Law Group a legitimate law firm?
Yes. CyberJustice Law Group is a licensed U.S. law firm, not a recovery agent or third-party service. Our attorneys are bar-admitted and verifiable. We have specialized in representing cryptocurrency fraud victims since 2022 and do not cold-call victims or require upfront cryptocurrency payments.
Will my bank refund money lost in a task scam or job scam?
Almost never. Banks treat cryptocurrency transfers as completed transactions, even when made under false pretenses. Voluntary refunds are rarely granted. Civil litigation and, in some cases, law enforcement coordination are typically the most viable paths to recovering funds lost in employment-related crypto fraud.
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for a job scam?
Your initial video consultation with CyberJustice Law Group is free. We review your situation, assess what happened, and explain your legal options before you commit to anything. Fee arrangements vary by case, and we will be straightforward about costs and realistic about outcomes from the very first conversation.
