- Do not pay anything else, even if they ask for "taxes" or "fees" to release your money.
- Call your bank today: block your card and request a chargeback or a transfer recall. The sooner, the better your chances.
- Do not install anything they ask for (AnyDesk, TeamViewer…). If you did, uninstall it and change your passwords.
- Report it to the police and your country’s regulator, and keep screenshots, emails and phone numbers.
- Beware of "fund recovery" companies that will contact you promising to get your money back for a fee: they are almost always a second scam.
