Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to report a fake NFT collection?
Most users finish in 10–30 minutes. Some steps — like a credit freeze or carrier-side block — take effect immediately; others (FTC and BBB reports) start an investigation that can take weeks but matter for reimbursement.
Does it cost money to report a fake NFT collection?
No. Every step on this page uses official free services. Anyone asking for upfront payment to report a fake NFT collection is itself a scam — these are exactly the operators we warn about across ScamGuard.
Should I report a fake NFT collection myself or hire a service?
Do it yourself. Recovery services that promise to report a fake NFT collection on your behalf are mostly fraudulent — the FTC has warned about them repeatedly. The official agencies only accept reports from the victim.
What if I'm not in the United States?
Most steps still work — the bank, carrier, and platform actions are global. For government reporting, swap the FTC/FBI/BBB links for your country's equivalent: Action Fraud (UK), CAFC (Canada), Scamwatch (Australia), Polizei (Germany), etc.
