MetaMask, ConsenSys’ leading self-custody wallet, is delighted to today announce a new strategic partnership with Asset Reality, an end-to-end solution for recovering, managing, and accessing seized crypto and complex assets. Over the last few years, economic activity on web3 has grown exponentially. While this growth has attracted a number of highly innovative applications that will help redefine the future of financial services and the creator economy, it has also drawn the attention of online scammers and thieves. Through this partnership, MetaMask and Asset Reality will be helping victims of scams recover their digital assets where possible. This support will be available for all MetaMask users globally who have been victims of scams, including across MetaMask’s most active markets in the United States, the UK, the Philippines, India, Vietnam, Brazil, France, Germany or Nigeria.
How Asset Reality will help recover funds
According to Action Fraud, victims lose on average US$25k. Losses can be as low as US$50 and occasionally exceed US$1.0m. Traditional recovery uses civil litigation, and usually involves instructing a lawyer, serving information notices on exchanges to try and identify scammers or wallets they own when tracing funds, or freezing those accounts. Unfortunately this process takes a long time, especially as there is no special crypto process, and the costs can be in excess of $75k USD.
Victims of scams often have difficulty getting sufficient resources and attention from law enforcement. Asset Reality’s offering allows multiple victims of a scam operation to join forces and build a larger forensic investigation against a scam operation.
Asset Reality will be the case handler for MetaMask’s affected users. They will take the heavy lifting off the users to build an investigation into each scam operation, greatly increasing the likelihood of fund recovery and bringing scammers to justice.
Asset Reality services will be free to MetaMask users. However, users may need to cover legal costs should they decide that the route of recovery makes economic sense. For victims whose legal costs are too high, MetaMask and Asset Reality will help them join forces with other victims as a group. There might indeed be hundreds of victims of the largest scam operations. By providing identifiable information, a person who has been a victim of a lower amount, has the opportunity to recover their funds if larger victims, and ConsenSys pursue these larger scale scam operations.
“Helping users investigate and recover lost funds is a strategic tool in a multi-faceted strategy that we are continuously executing that includes improving security, user education, and new ways to back up assets. Through this industry-leading partnership with Asset Reality, ConsenSys and MetaMask want to allow victims to join together, build cases against these scam operations and bring them to justice. It’s really important that victims of hacks come forward, no matter how small. They could reveal or be the starting point of a wider investigation and create the opportunity to aggregate claims to commence potential legal action,”
said Dan Finlay, Co-Founder of MetaMask.
How can users benefit this service
Victims of scams will be able to benefit from the following 5 simple steps:
- A user experiences account compromise and/or funds loss typically through a phishing scam
- MetaMask support will intake the users and ascertain how they were compromised, if possible, and request any relevant information regarding phishing websites, vectors, and funds lost.
- MetaMask support will provide safety tips on next steps for users and pass them to Asset Reality
- The MetaMask agent will direct the user to open a case with Asset Reality through a page on metamask.io.
- Asset Reality will take over communication with the users, and will proactively keep users updated on the status of their cases
Commenting on the collaboration, Aidan Larkin, CEO of Asset Reality, said
“When a user has funds stolen, often due to being scammed into handing over their passwords or Secret Recovery Phrase, they often have nowhere to turn to, in what is an incredibly difficult time for them emotionally and financially. We see losses across the entire crypto eco-system ranging from hundreds to millions of dollars in value. We’re proud to be partnering with ConsenSys and MetaMask to deliver this important service which will ultimately improve users’ experience in dealing with these situations.”
How to stay safe on Web3
MetaMask is aware of the proliferation of scamming activities and is actively working on improvements to help prevent them. However, in web3, the most important member of the security team is the user.
MetaMask is a non-custodial software that runs on users’ devices, similar to a web browser. Like a physical wallet in an individual’s back pocket, MetaMask doesn’t have any access to users‘ funds. It is the responsibility of the wallet owner to never share their secret recovery phrase with anyone.
MetaMask published a post on how to avoid scammers and phishers and recommends keeping an eye on its Twitter Support account as they post about scamming activity.
MetaMask welcomes everyone to help chip in and make web3 tougher on scammers and bad actors. Web3 belongs to everyone and we should all try to keep each other safe
This is a warning to all bitcoin investors. Don’t be a victim. Most investments and most of the companies out there are fraudulent. They are all scams. I have been a victim of their activities. I invested about $170,000 and when I wanted to withdraw after some weeks, I could not withdraw my money. I assumed they were having some maintenance routine checks, since that had happened in the past. I was contacted again and was asked to invest more which I refused and told them I wanted to withdraw my money. After this, I didn’t hear from them again. At this point, I started to feel like I had been duped. I was shattered as I had lost all my savings. I was depressed and frustrated. I was too ashamed to tell anyone about it, not even my children. I finally summoned some courage to tell my friend who came to visit me. She introduced me to Refundd Polici Recovery, a firm that specializes in helping people get their money back. I contacted Refundd Polici Recovery and I was guided on the way to recover most of my money. Getting $100,000 of my money back was a great feeling, as I had given up all hope. Thanks to my friend Sara for encouraging me to reach out to them via refunddpolici(@)gmail(.)com and Whatsapp +1 (972) 998‑2755. You can contact Refundd Polici Recovery if you find yourself in a similar situation.
Dies ist eine Warnung an alle Bitcoin-Investoren. Seien Sie kein Opfer. Die meisten Investitionen und die meisten Unternehmen da draußen sind betrügerisch. Es sind alles Betrügereien. Ich bin ein Opfer ihrer Aktivitäten geworden. Ich habe etwa 170.000 US-Dollar investiert und als ich nach einigen Wochen abheben wollte, konnte ich mein Geld nicht abheben. Ich ging davon aus, dass sie routinemäßige Wartungskontrollen durchführen würden, da dies in der Vergangenheit geschehen war. Ich wurde erneut kontaktiert und gebeten, mehr zu investieren, was ich ablehnte und ihnen sagte, dass ich mein Geld abheben wollte. Danach hörte ich nichts mehr von ihnen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte ich das Gefühl, betrogen worden zu sein. Ich war erschüttert, weil ich alle meine Ersparnisse verloren hatte. Ich war deprimiert und frustriert. Ich schämte mich zu sehr, irgendjemandem davon zu erzählen, nicht einmal meinen Kindern. Endlich nahm ich meinen Mut zusammen und erzählte es meiner Freundin, die mich besuchen kam. Sie machte mich mit Refundd Polici Recovery bekannt, einer Firma, die sich darauf spezialisiert hat, Menschen dabei zu helfen, ihr Geld zurückzubekommen. Ich kontaktierte Refundd Polici Recovery und wurde auf dem Weg zur Rückerstattung des größten Teils meines Geldes beraten. Es war ein tolles Gefühl, 100.000 Dollar meines Geldes zurückzubekommen, da ich alle Hoffnung aufgegeben hatte. Vielen Dank an meine Freundin Sara, die mich ermutigt hat, sie überfunddpolici(@)gmail(.)com und Whatsapp +1 (972) 998-2755 zu kontaktieren. Sie können sich an Refundd Polici Recovery wenden, wenn Sie sich in einer ähnlichen Situation befinden.

They almost fell victim to a fake airdrop scam claiming to be related to Arbitrum, risking over 650 BTC. Fortunately, the smart contract audit engineers at TheHackersPro, an American forensic firm, intervened just in time. After sharing all transaction evidence with the team and Vladimir Kolarov, the scam’s use of Arbitrum’s logos and graphics was uncovered. This scam is particularly convincing because of the legitimate ARB token airdrops by the Arbitrum Foundation. It is essential to stress that this scam is not linked to the Arbitrum Orbit platform, Arbitrum Foundation, or any other Arbitrum services. Promoted on the 2024arb[.]xyz page, it could also appear on other sites. Participants are prompted to connect their digital wallets, exposing them to scripts that drain cryptocurrency into scammers‘ wallets. These transactions can be subtle and often unnoticed; they discovered theirs almost 10 hours later. Fortunately, they managed to recover 402 BTC back into their Exodus wallet and are waiting for the Ethereum gas fee to retrieve the rest into Coinbase. If your funds are missing without explanation, you might be a victim of this scam. We recommend contacting TheHackersPro’s smart contract experts at hack@thehackerspro.com or their 24/7 Telegram support at +1 971 915 6664 immediately. This advice might save someone.
Aus familiären und beruflichen Gründen war ich in den letzten 7 Jahren nicht im Internet verfügbar. Als ich wieder ins Internet ging und einen sehr schwerwiegenden Investitionsbetrug erlebte, war das das Schlimmste in meinem Leben. Es geschah alles an einem treuen Dienstagnachmittag, während ich eine Zigarette rauchte und meinen Hunden beim Spielen im Garten zusah. Ein Anruf kam und es war eine Dame, die behauptete, mich von meinem früheren Arbeitsplatz zu kennen. Wir unterhielten uns etwa fünf Minuten lang und fingen an Online chatten. Sie stellte mir schließlich eine Anlageplattform vor und überzeugte mich, bei ihnen zu investieren. Ich überlegte, woraufhin ich investierte. Nach einem Monat war es Zeit für den Rückzug und da fing das Problem an, sie verlangten Geld und hörten nie auf, immer mehr zu verlangen. Bis es zu einem Punkt kam, an dem ich mich zurücklehnen und darüber nachdenken musste, wo das alles begann, dann fand ich heraus, dass es sich um einen einzigen großen Betrug handelte und ich mittendrin war. Es war eine verheerende Erfahrung, bis ich Coin Reclaim Service über deren Tel.: COINRECLAIMSERVICE traf. Sie nahmen meinen Fall entgegen und sagten mir, ich solle mich ausruhen, bis sie fertig seien. Es dauerte nur zwei Tage und mein Geld wurde zurückerhalten und auf mein persönliches Konto überwiesen. Ich möchte Samantha vom Coin Reclaim Service dafür danken, dass sie wirklich geduldig mit mir war, während ich wegen der Situation in Panik geriet. Sie beruhigte mich und versicherte mir, dass meine Gelder mit Sicherheit zurückerhalten würden. Dies ist ihr zweiter Kontakt unten für den Fall, dass sich jemand in einer solchen Situation befindet. Es gibt da draußen Hilfe COINRECLAIMSERVICE [AT] GMAIL . COM

I was looking for ways to secure my financial future. A friend recommended Bitcoin mining and Binary trading, I was newly divorced so I had plenty of time to myself. I secured a valuable amount in Bitcoin and saved the decryption key on my computer. Life got busy, and I forgot about it. Years later, I discovered that my Bitcoin was now worth $1,780,000. Elated, I tried to access my wallet, but I couldn’t remember the decryption key. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. Feeling defeated, the internet was my last bus stop. I came in contact with some freelancers and hackers for hire, I was scammed during this till I came in contact with Cyber Genie Hack Pro, a team of professionals with long years of victories in Bitcoin Recovery. That motivated me to mail them on ( Cybergenie (@) Cyberservices (.) Com ) and the rest is history. The tool they gave me scanned my computer and mobile devices looking for remnants of the key, and it was a successful recovery. After several hours, the tool generated a list of potential keys. I tried each one, and finally, one worked! I accessed my Bitcoin wallet. Thanks to CYBER GENIE HACK PRO, I’ve reclaimed my financial assets. This experience has given me hope for the future and a new appreciation for the power of technology. I’m now more careful with important information and look forward to a brighter financial future.

I was quite unfortunate to be a victim of the „CBEX scam“.
So gullible to believe them and lost literally my life savings.
Life hadn’t been the same since I lost such huge sum equivalent to around £600k to the platform( CBEX)
My whole life came to total standstill and life became so terrible from the disheartening event.
Earlier this week, while still on vacation in United Arab Emirates; at my hotel balcony in Dubai doing some research online.
That was when I miraculously came across DARKEYES CYBERSECURITY COMPANY from Google reviews. Cos I’d never believe it was possible to recover stolen funds from such platform.
At first I was skeptical as once bitten twice shy.
But luckily enough after contacting them. I provided them with the necessary informations as requested.
DARKEYES CYBERSECURITY COMPANY worked tirelessly to retrieved my funds within just 48 hours and their expertise was evident every step of the way.
I strongly recommend DARKEYES to anyone going through similar situation in recovering their funds from this Ponzi scheme
Jason one of their recovery team leader was a top guy. He was always assuring me of a positive outcome.
You can easily contact them via Email: Darkeyes@fastservice.com
