How losses unfold

Clients who reach the Cryptosenti desk after Ontega typically describe being introduced through a messaging app, a social DM, or a referral from someone they thought they knew.

Red flags on file

  • Pressure to deposit. Limited-time bonuses, account upgrade tiers, and personal account managers urging larger transfers.
  • Withdrawal friction. Funds go in cleanly; coming back out triggers a sudden cascade of fees, taxes, and verification demands.
  • Crypto-only on-ramp. The operator only accepts USDT, BTC, or other crypto deposits, removing every chargeback or banking-side recourse path.

If you have already engaged

Do not engage with anyone offering recovery in exchange for upfront fees, gift cards, or your seed phrase. Cryptosenti never asks for any of those, and neither does any legitimate recovery firm.

Document everything you have: wallet addresses, transaction hashes, screenshots described in text, the exact account-manager handles, and dates. The Cryptosenti desk works from this evidence.

Cryptosenti never asks for your seed phrase, private keys, or exchange password. Anyone who does — even someone claiming to represent us — is running a recovery scam.
