Scam Check
What we do for you in the event of crypto fraud
You don't need any technical knowledge. The blockchain is like a public ledger where every transaction remains visible forever – even if the perpetrators try to conceal it. We read this trail.
We track where your money has gone.
We trace your money through the blockchain – even via detours and exchange services that criminals use to cover their tracks. We record every step of the journey in a traceable manner.
We find out where your money is today.
We track down the wallets (digital accounts) where your money ultimately ended up – even if it went through many intermediate stages.
We are checking which accounts belong together.
We find out if the same group of perpetrators is behind multiple accounts – important if you have paid to different addresses over several weeks (e.g. in cases of romance fraud).
We'll have the perpetrators' accounts flagged.
We report the perpetrators' wallets to the warning system that crypto exchanges use to combat money laundering. If an exchange detects such an account, it becomes very difficult for the perpetrators to withdraw their funds.
We assist with the official inquiry at the stock exchanges.
We support investigators and lawyers in preparing requests to crypto exchanges.
You will receive structured documentation of your case.
A clear and concise report, documented money trail, wallet overview, and a timeline of all transfers. You – or your lawyer – submit these documents with your criminal complaint.
This is how we proceed
Clear, honest and transparent – with a fixed cost estimate in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plain language for those affected – without empty promises.
In most cases, no. With our forensic report and pre-drafted criminal complaint, you can go to the police yourself. We will connect you with specialized lawyers if the case requires it – but only then.
The initial assessment is free. We will review your case and give you an honest assessment of whether a forensic investigation is economically viable. The actual investigation typically starts in the mid-four-figure range – with a clear cost estimate provided upfront.
Case review: 1-3 business days. Forensic investigation: typically 5-15 business days depending on complexity (number of wallets, use of mixers, bridges, foreign exchanges).
We locate the funds and flag the wallets for AML purposes. Actual recovery depends on the exchange's actions and the legal proceedings. What we guarantee: a solid trail, clear accountability, and admissible evidence.
Then we'll be honest and direct about it. We won't waste your time or money on fruitless investigations. The case review is free of charge.
Strict confidentiality, NDA upon request, encrypted data transfer. Data is processed only for the specific case and securely archived or deleted upon completion.
