I wired money to a scammer. Can I get it back?

Reviewed answer

Call the sending bank or transfer company immediately and request a recall.

  1. Use the provider's official fraud contact. Say the transfer involved a scam and ask for an urgent recall or cancellation.
  2. Provide the transaction number, time, amount, recipient details, and messages. Ask for a case number.
  3. In the US, report internet-related wire fraud promptly at IC3.gov. Keep working with the bank while the report is pending.

Get help if

Act immediately. Transfers can move onward quickly, and recovery is not guaranteed even when reported promptly.
