    What Crypto Scams Often Look Like

    Cryptocurrency scams follow consistent patterns. Recognising them — or understanding what happened — is the first step to building a case.

    • 1

      An online contact introduces you to a cryptocurrency investment platform promising high guaranteed returns

    • 2

      The platform shows impressive profits in your account — but withdrawals are consistently blocked or delayed

    • 3

      New fees, taxes, or verification requirements appear every time you try to access your funds

    • 4

      The account manager becomes unresponsive or the platform disappears entirely

    • 5

      You are contacted by a supposed recovery service offering to get your crypto back — for an upfront fee (a second scam)

      Common Red Flags of a Crypto Scam

      These warning signs appear across almost every fraudulent crypto platform. If you recognised any of them, submit your case immediately.

      Withdrawal Obstruction

      • Fees or taxes required before any withdrawal is permitted
      • Platform support becomes unresponsive when you request funds
      • Account suddenly locked or restricted without clear reason
      • Verification demands that restart each time you try to withdraw

      Platform Red Flags

      • No verifiable company registration in any regulated jurisdiction
      • Website recently created or copied from a legitimate exchange
      • No license information, regulatory body, or verifiable address
      • Aggressive account manager applying constant pressure to deposit more

      Suspicious Returns

      • Returns that are suspiciously consistent regardless of market conditions
      • Profits visible in your account but impossible to actually withdraw
      • Performance significantly exceeds any legitimate investment benchmark
      • Account value grows fastest immediately after each new deposit

      Second Scam Warning

      • Unsolicited contact from a “recovery service” after you lose funds
      • They claim special blockchain reversal or law enforcement connections
      • They require an upfront payment before any recovery begins
      • Any service guaranteeing crypto recovery is itself a scam

      FAQ — Crypto Scam Investigation

      Honest answers about what we can do, what we cannot do, and how the process works.

      Can cryptocurrency transactions be traced?

      Yes, to a significant degree. Blockchain transactions are publicly recorded and we can trace fund movements across addresses, identify exchange interactions, and map your transaction flow. Full attribution — identifying exactly who controls a wallet — requires law enforcement cooperation. Our reports document what can be verified on-chain and separate that clearly from assumptions.
      Do you guarantee recovery of my crypto?

      No — and any service that does should be treated as a scam itself. We produce thorough, evidence-led investigation reports. Whether funds can be recovered depends on law enforcement action, exchange cooperation, and factors outside our control. What we guarantee is a professional, honest investigation.
      What if the platform is already offline?

      Submit what you have immediately. Even after a platform disappears, blockchain records remain permanently accessible. Communication records, domain data, and other digital traces often persist long after a platform goes offline. The sooner we begin, the more complete the picture we can build.
      Can you investigate privacy coins like Monero?

      Privacy coins present significantly more challenges than transparent blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum. However, we can still document the on-ramp transactions, communication records, platform evidence, and all other aspects of the case — which together form a strong basis for your investigation report.
