Evidence
Writing a claim summary: facts first, guesses labelled
A short accurate outline is stronger than a dramatic but unsupported account.

The short answer
Start with the essentials: who contacted you, what was offered, how you paid, when the problem became apparent and what happened after you asked for withdrawal or repayment. Use exact platform domains and transaction references where known. Say 'unknown' when an identity or date has not been verified.
What to check and preserve
Quote the relevant promise and identify the message that supports it. Distinguish the amount actually paid from a balance displayed on a platform. List reports already made and any responses. Keep allegations separate from conclusions a court or investigator has not reached.
Limits and important distinctions
Do not include credentials or unnecessary identity documents in an initial summary. The European authorities advise victims to preserve relevant information and report through appropriate channels. A precise summary helps triage the matter; it does not replace the underlying records or establish a recovery entitlement.
Checklist
- Separate paid amounts from displayed balances.
- Use exact domains and references.
- Label unknowns and interpretations.
- Exclude passwords, keys and security codes.
