Been scammed? Scam Trace & Recovery
If you've been scammed, we can trace on-chain exactly what happened — and give you a clear report.
What this service is
- We trace the funds on-chain — following where the coins came from and where they went.
- You get a clear picture and report of the scam: the path the money took, the addresses involved, and how it unfolded.
- Bitcoin's public ledger makes this possible — every transaction is recorded and can be followed.
- There are real, solved cases where tracing has helped reveal what happened and supported action.
What a trace can tell you
- The money trail. Where your coins went, hop by hop, and where they ended up.
- Cash-out points. Whether the funds landed at an exchange or service that has a real-world company behind it — the points where law enforcement or a platform could act.
- The addresses involved. The wallets the scammer used, and whether they connect to known scam clusters or earlier victims.
- A clear timeline. What happened, in what order, with the transaction IDs as proof.
What the report is good for
- A clear, written record to file with police or report to the exchange that received the funds.
- Documentation for insurance, tax, or your own records.
- Closure — understanding exactly how it happened, so it can't happen the same way twice.
- Helping warn others by adding the scammer's addresses to the public record.
Common scams we see
- Fake investment / "trading" platforms — a slick site or app shows your "profits" growing, but withdrawals are blocked or demand more "fees" or "tax" first.
- Romance / "pig butchering" — a relationship built over weeks or months, then a "can't-miss" crypto opportunity.
- Fake support / impersonation — someone posing as wallet support, an exchange, or even a friend, who gets you to "verify", move funds, or share your seed.
- Giveaway / airdrop / doubling — "send 1 and get 2 back", fake celebrity or company promotions.
- Sextortion & blackmail — threats demanding payment in Bitcoin.
- Recovery scams (the scam after the scam) — people who target victims a second time, promising to "get your money back" for an upfront fee. We are not that — see below.
Be clear about what "recovery" means
- This is recovery of what happened — the trace, the story, the evidence.
- It is not a promise to get your money back.
- Recovery of funds is only sometimes possible, and only partial — if anything is left.
- Beware: anyone who guarantees they will return your funds, or demands a large upfront fee to do so, is almost certainly another scam.
How to start
- Reach out with what happened — dates, amounts, any addresses or transaction links you have.
- The more detail you keep (screenshots, messages, TX IDs), the better the trace.
