NFT fraud ranges from fake mint sites to stolen-account sales and wash-trading illusions. Recovery analysis starts with where the NFT and the purchase funds actually moved.
Save marketplace order IDs, wallet addresses, mint transaction hashes, collection contract addresses and chat or Discord instructions that induced payment. Export any fiat on-ramp receipts separately.
Marketplaces and payment processors may hold account KYC or login metadata reachable only through lawful process. Informal support tickets rarely produce full identity disclosure.
Provenance disputes and civil claims differ from simple chargeback paths. Clarify whether the loss is a stolen asset, a counterfeit listing or a payment diversion before choosing forums.
