Already signed up or paid?

  1. Do not pay anything else, even if they ask for "taxes" or "fees" to release your money.
  2. Call your bank today: block your card and request a chargeback or a transfer recall. The sooner, the better your chances.
  3. Do not install anything they ask for (AnyDesk, TeamViewer…). If you did, uninstall it and change your passwords.
  4. Report it to the police and your country’s regulator, and keep screenshots, emails and phone numbers.
  5. 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.
