Crypto scam

Hi,

 

I was a victim of Crypto scam in Apr 2025.  I saw a YT video and of my volition went to the website.  I lost about $2000 of crypto in a fake swap crazy scheme (I should've known better).  

 

I filed IC3, FTC reports, and TBH I am not getting the $$ or crypto back.  Can I claim this as a deduction on 2025 taxes?

 

Thanks a lot

Regards,
