In today’s digital age, financial scams are becoming increasingly diverse and frequent. From online investment traps and fake loan platforms to phone scams impersonating customer service agents, victims not only suffer financial loss but often feel helpless in seeking justice. The key question after being scammed is: Can I get my money back? The answer is: Yes — with the right legal approach.

DJK LAW GROUP is a professional law firm dedicated to helping victims of financial fraud recover their losses through practical and lawful strategies.

Step 1: Stay Calm and Secure All Evidence Victims often panic or despair after realizing they’ve been scammed. However, from a legal perspective, remaining calm and collecting evidence is the first step to recovery.

Key evidence includes:

1）Chat records (WeChat, WhatsApp, etc.)

2）Bank transfer receipts or payment screenshots

3）Screenshots of fake websites or apps

4）Any documents shared by the scammer (contracts, brochures, phone numbers)

According to DJK LAW GROUP, this evidence is critical for filing a police report, freezing assets, and initiating legal action. The sooner and more comprehensively it’s collected, the better the chances of success.

Step 2: Report to Police and Request a Case Filing Under Chinese law, most financial fraud cases constitute criminal offenses. Therefore, reporting the crime is a required step.

In practice, due to jurisdictional or technical challenges, police may not immediately file a case. This is where professional legal assistance becomes crucial. DJK LAW GROUP can help prepare complete police reports, follow up with cybercrime units, and request formal case filing or review.

For international scams, we can coordinate with Chinese national anti-fraud centers and overseas enforcement partners.

Step 3: Civil Lawsuit + Asset Preservation Beyond criminal procedures, DJK LAW GROUP strongly recommends pursuing civil lawsuits when the scammers’ identities or assets can be traced.

By initiating legal action and applying for asset preservation (such as freezing bank accounts or seizing property), victims can effectively block further asset transfers and increase recovery potential.

This is especially effective when the scammers operate through identifiable companies or bank accounts.

Step 4: Cross-Border Recovery and International Cooperation With the rise of overseas scam operations, recovering funds internationally has become more complex. DJK LAW GROUP has a well-established international legal network that allows us to:

1）Send formal letters to fraudulent foreign platforms

2）File international lawsuits or arbitration

3）Collaborate with overseas banks for fund tracing and freezing

When necessary, we can initiate cross-border judicial assistance procedures to ensure global enforcement.

Step 5: Stay Legal — Avoid Secondary Scams In their desperation, many victims fall prey again to so-called “recovery agents” or “hacker investigators” promising to retrieve funds for high fees.

DJK LAW GROUP warns: Only licensed legal professionals can legitimately help recover lost funds. Beware of second-wave scams disguised as help.
