Reporting scams helps protect the Phantom community. While Phantom can't recover stolen funds (the wallet is non-custodial), reports help us identify threats and may help law enforcement freeze assets.

If you lost funds
If you were scammed, you may also want to take the following steps:
- File a police report: Contact your local law enforcement.
- Report to the FBI (US only): Submit a report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov. The IC3 has helped freeze or recover stolen crypto in some cases.
- Check for tax deductions: Consult your local tax authority about potential deductions for scam-related losses.
