After You Report: What Actually Happens Next
Filing a report is the start of a process, not the end of one. The realistic sequence of events, who reviews what, and where the delays tend to come from.
Read articleOur reviewers help people affected by crypto scams, investment fraud and online financial scams. We investigate the stolen funds using blockchain forensics and explain the recovery options that genuinely apply to your case.
Share a few details and a reviewer will come back to you, usually within one business day.
Four stages, and you know exactly where you stand at the end of each one.

You share the details you still have -- transaction IDs, wallet addresses, screenshots -- and we read the timeline to work out how the scheme was built.

Our team follows the funds across the relevant chains to track where the money moved and identify the key points of transfer.

The findings are organised into a clear, structured report that can support complaints to exchanges, banks or law enforcement.

Where there is a possible path forward we explain the options and guide you through them step by step, with nothing dressed up.
People usually reach us having already been told what they wanted to hear once. We do the opposite: look at the transactions first, then say what the evidence supports.

Our reviewers look at your case carefully and explain what is realistically possible. You get straight answers, including the unwelcome ones.

We have handled many crypto fraud cases and know how these schemes operate, how they escalate, and where the funds usually end up.

This is a sensitive situation. Everything you share stays confidential and is used only to review and progress your case.

We set out your situation in plain language and walk you through the options, so the decision about what to do next is genuinely yours.
Different scams leave different trails and need a different approach. Start by identifying the one closest to your situation.

You are told to pay a tax, clearance charge or processing fee to release your funds -- but the payments never stop and the withdrawal never happens.

You can see money in your account but you cannot withdraw it. You are asked to pay fees, upgrade, or verify the account again and again.

Locked balances and blocked withdrawals have several very different causes. Telling them apart is what decides whether the situation is fixable at all.

No revenue authority asks for a crypto payment to a private wallet to unlock a balance. The tells are consistent once you know what to look for.

The schemes that come up most often, the evidence worth preserving in the first hour, and what blockchain tracing can and cannot establish.
Read articleAnswered plainly, including the answers nobody wants to give.
Sometimes. It depends on where the funds went, how quickly they were moved, and whether they reached anywhere identifiable such as a centralised exchange or a regulated payment service. Tracing is what tells you which of those apply. Anyone answering this with a flat yes before looking at your transactions is not being straight with you.
Stop sending money, including anything described as a fee, tax or verification charge. Then preserve evidence: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, the platform URL, screenshots of your account and balance, and the full chat history. Export rather than screenshot where you can, because accounts and groups are usually deleted once the scheme moves on.
We start from your transactions and follow them across the relevant chains, mapping each hop and noting every service the funds pass through that could respond to a request or a legal process. That is then combined with the platform details and your correspondence into a single structured report.
Most public-chain activity can be followed, because the ledger is open. It becomes harder when funds pass through mixers, privacy coins or long chains of bridges and swaps, but the trail up to that point is usually still informative -- and that is often exactly where the identifiable services sit.
Transaction IDs and wallet addresses first, then payment confirmations from your bank or exchange, screenshots of the platform and your balance, withdrawal requests and any refusals, and the messages exchanged with whoever approached you. More complete records make for a more useful review.
It varies with the number of transactions and how far the funds travelled. A straightforward trace can be turned around quickly, while cases involving dozens of hops, several chains or multiple platforms take considerably longer. We tell you early which sort of case yours looks like.
No, and you should treat any guarantee as a warning sign. What we commit to is an honest assessment of what the evidence shows and a clear explanation of the options it opens up.
Be sceptical of anyone who contacts you unprompted, claims to have already located your funds, guarantees recovery, or wants a large payment before reviewing anything. Victim lists get traded, so a follow-up approach is common. Legitimate firms explain their process, examine the evidence first, and set expectations you may not want to hear.
Yes. A report creates an official record, and records are what allow exchanges, investigators and regulators to connect separate complaints to the same operation. It also matters if any part of the trail is still moving somewhere traceable.
