MetaMask partners with Asset Reality to help victims of crypto scams

Asset Reality recently announced its partnership with Metamask in improving digital asset recovery for those who have fallen victim to scams.

Metamask is one of the most widely used digital wallets with over 30 million users. But with the exponential growth in the cryptocurrency and Web3 space, many users have also fallen victim to online scammers and hackers. Through the partnership with Asset Reality, Metamask will now be able to help victims all over the globe recover their digital assets whenever possible.

Metamask : Asset Reality

Victims of scams would need to report their losses on Metamask, with Asset Reality doing the heavy lifting by handling the investigations into scam operations such as phishing. This would greatly increase the chances of recovering funds and bringing scammers into light.

Asset Reality stated that users who have fallen victim to crypto scams average lose about USD 25k on average but with reports of scams stealing as low as USD 50 or as much as USD 1 million. And while Asset Reality’s services may be free for Metamask users, victims may still need to cover any legal cost if they decide to pursue further and gain the attention of law enforcement. However, it was further stated that Asset Reality would be willing to help in building a much larger forensic investigation when legal costs are high and if larger victims pursue the case.

“Helping users investigate and recover lost funds is a strategic tool in a multi-faceted strategy that we are continuously executing that includes improving security, user education, and new ways to back up assets. Through this industry-leading partnership with Asset Reality, ConsenSys and MetaMask want to allow victims to join together, build cases against these scam operations and bring them to justice. It’s really important that victims of hacks come forward, no matter how small. They could reveal or be the starting point of a wider investigation and create the opportunity to aggregate claims to commence potential legal action.” – Dan Finlay, Co-Founder of Metamask.

    It’s unfortunate how many people have been conned by cryptocurrency investment firms who promised them huge profits from their investment accounts. I know how frustrating that can be for anyone because I was in the same situation some months back after I was contacted by a cryptocurrency investor about an opportunity to double my investment in Bitcoin. The lack of information made me lose all my money, I was depressed and bankrupt but I didn’t let it go. I did some research on the internet and came across a cryptocurrency recovery company called ASTRAWEB, I was doubtful at first if it was possible to recover crypto but I contacted Astraweb who assured me that my crypto will be traced and reversed to my wallet once I provide the required information which I did. It took ASTRAWEB 48 hours to fully recover my crypto back to my wallet which everyone thought was impossible. I wouldn’t blame anyone for falling victim to conmen but if you’ve been in a similar situation like mine, ASTRAWEB can help you fully recover your money. Reach Astraweb via E-Mail: AstraWeb@Cyberdude . com
