If you’ve already lost money, you’re not alone.

Depending on the type of loss, some fraud losses may qualify as tax deductions. Harry Shurek has spent 23 years in public accounting and taxes — tell us what happened and we’ll take a look. Free to ask, no obligation.

What May Qualify

Every Situation Is Different

Investment-Type Losses

May qualify as theft-loss deductions
  • Cryptocurrency fraud
  • Fake investment platforms
  • Ponzi or pyramid schemes
  • Brokerage account takeover

Losses from fraudulent investment activity may be deductible in certain circumstances. The specifics of your situation matter.

Personal-Payment Losses

Generally do NOT qualify under current law
  • Romance scams
  • Emergency or “grandparent” scams
  • Gift card payments
  • Wire transfers to strangers

Rules are situation-specific and exceptions can exist. A professional review is the only way to know for sure.

Tax law changed significantly in recent years — that’s why a professional review matters. What didn’t qualify before may qualify now, and vice versa.
Protect Yourself Right Now

Steps You Can Take Today

  1. Stop sending money immediately. No matter what the other person says, pause. You can always send money later — you cannot get it back once it’s gone.
  2. Report to IC3.gov and the FTC. File a report at ic3.gov (FBI) and reportfraud.ftc.gov. These reports create a paper trail that may help your case.
  3. Tell your bank or financial institution. The sooner they know, the better your chances of freezing or recovering funds.
  4. Screenshot everything. Save messages, emails, transaction confirmations, phone numbers, and usernames. Do not delete anything.
⚠️
Recovery scam warning: Nobody legitimate charges upfront fees to recover lost money. If someone contacts you promising to get your money back for a fee, that is a second scam. We never charge upfront fees.
