Recuperación de criptoactivos en Brasil:
CVM, BCB y Polícia Federal.
Las víctimas brasileñas de fraude con criptoactivos operan en un entorno regulatorio en el que el Banco Central do Brasil supervisa a los proveedores de servicios de activos virtuales bajo la Lei 14.478/2022, la CVM regula los esquemas que presentan los criptoactivos como valores, y la Polícia Federal se encarga de la investigación criminal del fraude transfronterizo. El sistema de pagos instantáneos Pix es a la vez un importante vector de fraude y una oportunidad de recuperación: el MED de Brasil (Mecanismo Especial de Devolução) ofrece a las víctimas una vía estructurada para recuperar transferencias Pix cuando lo denuncian dentro de los 80 días.
The agencies your case touches.
Banco Central do Brasil
Brazil's central bank. Supervises Virtual Asset Service Providers under Lei 14.478/2022 (the Marco Legal das Criptomoedas), enforced from June 2024. Banks now report Pix-rail crypto fraud through structured channels; this is the basis for the MED reversal mechanism.
Visit warning list →Comissão de Valores Mobiliários
Securities regulator. Publishes a public stop-order list of unregistered operations marketing investment products to Brazilians. Any "investment platform" promising guaranteed returns above CDI typically falls under CVM jurisdiction.
Visit warning list →Polícia Federal — Cyber Crime Division
Federal cybercrime investigation. Handles cross-border crypto fraud cases. Reports filed at delegacia.policiacivil.sp.gov.br for state-level cases or directly with PF for federal-level cases.
Visit warning list →Procon-SP / Procons estaduais
State consumer-protection bureaus. The São Paulo Procon is the most active for crypto-fraud complaints and maintains a national reputation index of fraud-flagged platforms.
Visit warning list →Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras
Financial Intelligence Unit. Receives Suspicious Activity Reports from banks and registered VASPs. A strong on-chain evidence pack often triggers COAF engagement with receiving institutions.

- 01
Open a Pix MED reversal request immediately
If the scam was paid via Pix, Brazil's MED (Mecanismo Especial de Devolução) gives you up to 80 days to request reversal — but the receiving bank can only freeze funds if you act fast, typically within hours. Call your bank or open an MED in your banking app immediately.
- 02
File a Boletim de Ocorrência at the police
Most Brazilian states accept BO Online at delegacia.policiacivil.sp.gov.br or the state equivalent. The BO number is required for CVM, Procon, and bank-fraud-team escalation. File within 48 hours.
- 03
Verify the platform on CVM's stop-order list
CVM's public list of unregistered investment operations is at gov.br/cvm. If the platform appears here, the case is materially stronger; if it does not appear, file a CVM denúncia anyway — you may be the first reporter.
- 04
Open a Procon complaint if a Brazilian institution was involved
For cases involving Brazilian banks, registered fintech operators, or platforms with Brazilian operations, Procon-SP and equivalents mediate disputes and maintain a public reputation index that creates pressure on the institutions.
What we see most in Brasil.
- ● Pix-rail romance/pig-butchering scams targeting Brazilian professionals — Pix's instant settlement makes recovery harder but the MED creates a real window
- ● Post-Atlas Quantum and post-Bitcoin Banco recovery scams targeting the leaked victim lists — fake "liquidator" and "former employee" contacts
- ● "Robôs de trading" (trading bots) sold via WhatsApp and Telegram with promised daily yields — collapse pattern at 60-180 days
- ● Fake Mercado Bitcoin, Foxbit, and BitcoinTrade impostor support pages and apps distributed via Facebook ads
- ● Fake "consultor financeiro" scams via Instagram Reels and TikTok, driving Brazilians into Telegram VIP groups
- ● CPF-impersonation phishing combined with crypto fraud — scammers use leaked CPF databases to add credibility to outreach
