How to report this Bitcoin GPU scam
Do not send another payment. Preserve evidence. File official reports using the wallet, tracking number, and WhatsApp names on this site.
- Stop paying. Each new “shipping,” “customs,” “levy,” or “bill of lading” request is the same crime continuing.
- Export the chat. WhatsApp → chat → export with media. Keep original timestamps.
- Copy identifiers. Wallet, TXIDs, tracking number GMI6962255US, serial RTX6K268F3A7192, storefront names.
- FBI IC3: ic3.gov
- FTC: reportfraud.ftc.gov
- State attorney general where you live. New Hampshire residents: Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection.
- Your exchange (Cash App, Coinbase, etc.). Give the destination address and TXID. Ask them to flag the cluster.
- Do not hire “recovery” agents who want more crypto up front. That is a follow-on scam.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection does not collect duties into a seller's Bitcoin wallet. A WhatsApp contact who forbids you from calling the port is not describing a real hold.
