Preserve your device, wallet, and browser history as they are. They may contain critical evidence
Don’t delete or reinstall anything
Take screenshots of your wallet, blockchain explorer, and with the scammer before any information becomes unavailable
Record wallet addresses and transaction hashes
Secure your email, exchange accounts, and password manager. If one account has been compromised, the attacker may try to access the others
Change all related passwords and secure your 2FA
The complaint must be filed in your own name. We’ll help you prepare it correctly, but you must submit it yourself. Obtaining an official case or report number early may help an exchange respond to an asset freeze request
File a police report / submit an IC3 complaint
Five steps — none skipped
{How the process works}
Step 1
We spend 30–40 minutes reviewing what happened, what information is available, and which platform was involved. You’ll get an honest initial assessment — no promises that we’ll get everything back
Initial case assessment
Step 2
We organize transactions, correspondence, and screenshots into a structured evidence package for submission to exchanges, law enforcement, and courts

Step 3
We prepare drafts and supporting documents for law enforcement complaints and exchange requests. You submit them yourself, under your own name, and we review each step before submission

Legal escalation (if needed)
Step 5
If your funds are recovered, partially or in full, you pay the agreed success fee. If no funds are recovered, you don’t pay that fee
Outcome and payment
An honest assessment of your chances
— If the funds reach a KYC-compliant exchange, recovery may be more feasible than when they are routed through a mixer or an anonymous DeFi protocol
—Timing is critical. The earlier a complaint is filed, the better the chance of an exchange freezing the funds before they are moved
— The recipient’s jurisdiction matters. U.S. court orders are not enforceable in every country
— If our initial assessment shows virtually no realistic prospect of lawful recovery, we won’t take on the case. We’ll tell you honestly during the first consultation

Transparent pricing, no surprises
{Services and pricing}
Unlike many "crypto recovery specialists" who demand large upfront payments for "guaranteed results" and then disappear, we make our fees clear in advance and confirm the cost of each service in writing before work begins
// The initial blockchain analysis is free, before you decide whether to proceed
Blockchain transaction tracing and identification of the current wallet address or platform
Fund location analysis
The success fee is charged only if funds are successfully recovered, in addition to any stage fees already paid. The percentage is agreed upon and documented in writing in advance
Option 1: you pay for each stage of the process, such as analysis and document preparation, in exchange for a lower success fee
Fund recovery
You pay after funds have been successfully recovered. There are no upfront fees, but the success fee is higher than under option 1 because we assume the costs and financial risk of the earlier stages
Option 2: we cover the costs of analysis and document preparation, and the success fee is higher
Fund recovery
// A standalone consultation, separate from the fund recovery process
How to report cryptocurrency theft losses on your tax return

Signs of fraud
They pressure you and create a sense of panic to stop you from checking the details
According to the IC3 - Internet Crime Complaint Center, this is a growing type of fraud targeting individuals who have already fallen victim to cryptocurrency theft
They impersonate IC3 or FBI officials or claim to represent a "government recovery program"
They ask for access to your wallet or seed phrase
They promise a 100% guaranteed recovery
They demand a large upfront “unlocking fee” without a fixed price or written terms

Frequently asked questions
{Good to know}
What should I do in the first 24 hours after cryptocurrency theft?
What is a “pig butchering” cryptocurrency scam?
My wallet password or seed phrase has been stolen. What should I do right now?
Someone claiming to be an FBI agent contacted me and offered help. Is it really the FBI?
Is it even legal to recover stolen cryptocurrency?
The exchange is asking me to pay more to unlock my funds. Is this normal?

How can I check whether a company offering recovery services is legitimate?
How can stolen cryptocurrency be traced?
Can an exchange freeze a scammer’s account?
Stop sending money to the scammers. Record wallet addresses and transaction hashes, change your passwords and secure your two-factor authentication (2FA), and submit a complaint at IC3.gov as soon as possible. Follow the protocol outlined above in “What to do before contacting us.”
Yes, stolen cryptocurrency may be recoverable through lawful means, but the process can be lengthy and there are no guarantees. The first step is to preserve evidence, including transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and screenshots. A report can then be filed with law enforcement and IC3.gov. Law enforcement may submit official requests to exchanges to freeze the funds. Be wary of anyone who guarantees a fast recovery.
An exchange may be able to freeze an account containing suspected stolen funds, depending on its policies, the available evidence, and applicable law. Relevant evidence may include transaction hashes and an official report number. A freeze may no longer be possible if the funds have already been transferred elsewhere.[1]

Blockchain transactions are publicly recorded and remain accessible on the blockchain. Analysts can trace the movement of funds from the suspected scammer’s wallet, map subsequent transactions, and identify whether the funds reach an exchange that requires identity verification.
The FTC warns that unsolicited offers to recover lost money are a common form of recovery scam. Fraudsters may demand an upfront payment or advance fee and then disappear without recovering anything. Be especially cautious if someone contacts you first and already knows how much you lost.[1]

Immediately create a new wallet with a new seed phrase using a clean, secure device, and transfer any remaining funds to it. Do not try to outrun the scammer by moving funds back and forth. Keep in mind that your wallet provider’s support team cannot directly access or recover your funds.
Not necessarily. The FBI warns that scammers create fake websites that imitate IC3.gov to target people who have already been victimized. Be wary of unsolicited messages from people claiming to be FBI officials who offer to recover your funds. Submit complaints directly through the official website: IC3.gov.

This is a serious warning sign of a scam. Be extremely cautious if you are asked to transfer money to an external wallet or personal bank card to “unfreeze” your funds. Verify any request directly through the exchange’s official website or support channels.
Not exclusively. However, the first few hours can be particularly important, before scammers have time to move the stolen funds through multiple wallets or exchange them for other assets.
Legitimate professionals do not guarantee a 100% recovery, ask for your seed phrase or passwords, or make unrealistic promises. Check the company’s identity, written terms, and payment structure before proceeding. Be particularly cautious of unsolicited offers to recover your funds.
According to the FBI, a scammer builds trust or a romantic relationship with someone online, then introduces an apparently profitable cryptocurrency investment. The victim is encouraged to invest increasing amounts of money but is ultimately prevented from withdrawing the funds.[1]

We provide consulting services and do not represent clients before third parties; any submissions to law enforcement agencies, inquiries to exchanges, or other formal communications must be filed and signed by the client personally, in their own name. The information provided on this website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice and does not guarantee any specific outcome. By their technical nature, cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible; the recovery of funds depends on the specific circumstances of the case, the platform involved, the relevant jurisdiction, and how promptly the matter is addressed. Legal services that require a license—such as legal advice, courtroom representation, or the filing of lawsuits—are provided exclusively by licensed attorneys, with whom the client enters into a separate, direct agreement. Under no circumstances will we ever request your seed phrases, private keys, or passwords.
