How to deal with KYC scam

There is no perfect solution to this problem. Because the main danger of the KYC scam lies in the fact that these scammers disguise themselves as legal services. For example, scammers from Freewallet org have been working for almost 7 years. During this time, hundreds of customers lost money, but the criminals were never brought to justice.
But you can protect yourself from such fraud:
Don't install apps with a bad reputation. Freewallet org has been repeatedly caught outright stealing assets. Therefore, in no case can you trust services to which there are many complaints.
If your money has already been blocked on your wallet, try to collect as much evidence as possible (screenshots of correspondence, photos, etc.). Otherwise, there is a risk that tomorrow the wallet will be completely deleted, and you will not be able to prove that you had any assets at all.
Seek legal assistance. It is important that a competent specialist helps to make a statement about the crime.
Submit an application to law enforcement agencies. Demand an investigation.
Leave negative reviews about services that practice KYC scams. You will help other people not to lose money because of scammers.
