Australians do not need a law degree to sort this market. They need a licence they can look up, a fee story that starts after a bank credit, and a tracing partner they can name.

Legitimate practices do not ask for money upfront, retainers in crypto, gift cards, or a tax to unlock funds. They do not ask for AnyDesk, TeamViewer, seed phrases, or private keys.
