Egypt has one of the youngest and most active crypto audiences in the region, and fraudsters have noticed. The most common pattern of recent years: WhatsApp and Telegram groups promising guaranteed daily profits, and apps claiming to mine coins from your phone that pay early joiners for a while, then disappear with everyone's money. The pattern has repeated under different names, with victims counted in the thousands from Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, and Mansoura.
A second widespread pattern: fake trading platforms with polished Arabic interfaces, a balance that grows on screen, and customer service that answers quickly, right up until you try to withdraw. Then the invented fees appear: a tax, an activation charge, an insurance payment, each one leading to the next.
If this happened to you, two tracks should run together. The first is the official report: the Ministry of Interior's internet crimes administration, on the 108 hotline or through moin.gov.eg. Take the report number and keep it; it proves your good faith and starts the official record. The second track is the technical one: every transfer the scammer made is still recorded on the public blockchain, and that is our job.
One thing to understand clearly: the Central Bank of Egypt restricts crypto trading under Law 194 of 2020, so our work is strictly fraud-victim assistance: documenting the crime, tracing the funds, and legal process. We do not offer investment advice or trading services, and that position does not change.
We have worked cases from Cairo, Alexandria, and Giza where funds were traced to regulated platforms outside Egypt. Every day of delay makes tracing harder, so report today and send us your case the same day. We will not promise you a result, but we will answer in writing with what can realistically be done in your specific case.
