Bulgaria is a country that takes literacy seriously. The Cyrillic script was born here, in the First Bulgarian Empire, and Bulgarians notice immediately when someone writes it carelessly. We hold ourselves to the same precision: every claim on this page can be checked.
Crypto scams in Bulgaria have a familiar shape. A fake investment platform advertises fast profit on social media. After registration, an account manager calls, often speaking Bulgarian, and guides the client towards ever larger deposits. The balance on screen grows. When you request a withdrawal, they demand a tax or a commission first. That demand is the signature of the fraud. Bulgaria knows this model from the inside: investigations in recent years exposed call centres that sold fictitious forex and crypto trading to clients across Europe.
Report the scam to the Ministry of Interior. Call 112 or file a report with the cybercrime directorate through mvr.bg. The Bulgarian National Bank publishes warnings about unlicensed schemes; check whether the platform appears in them and note it in your report. Keep the reference number: it proves your good faith, and you will need it later.
Police open a file, but they rarely have the tools to follow money across blockchains, mixers, and offshore exchanges. That is our work. We trace the transactions from your wallet to the first identifiable recipient, most often a regulated exchange, and document every step in writing.
Cases come from the whole country. From Sofiya, where victims most often report fake trading platforms. From Plovdiv, where signal groups recruit members on Telegram. From Varna, where romance scams run for months before money is requested. The shame is the same everywhere, and everywhere it is unnecessary. These frauds are professionally organised. You are not naive; you were targeted.
