Act quickly — speed improves recovery odds
What Is Cryptocurrency Investment Fraud?
Crypto investment fraud involves fake trading platforms, mining pools, or yield-generating schemes that accept deposits but manipulate balances to show false profits, then prevent withdrawals or disappear entirely. Platforms often look professional with live charts and customer service. The funds deposited are real — and traceable on the blockchain — even when the platform itself is entirely fraudulent.
Warning Signs
How to Recognise a Investment Fraud
These scams follow recognisable patterns. Knowing the warning signs can prevent further loss — and confirms that what happened to you was not your fault.
- Promises of guaranteed high daily or weekly returns (5%, 10%, or more)
- Platform found through social media, a stranger's recommendation, or unsolicited contact
- Withdrawal requests are declined, delayed, or require additional "tax" payments
- Platform uses a name or logo similar to a well-known exchange
- Customer support avoids direct questions about licensing or regulation
- Account balance shows high profits but funds cannot be moved
- Pressure to deposit more to "unlock" or "activate" a withdrawal
- Platform website was registered very recently (check WHOIS)
What to Do Now
Your Immediate Next Steps

Screenshot the platform, your balance, all communications, and every transaction ID.
Report to IC3 (US), Action Fraud (UK), ReportCyber (AU), or your national regulator.
We trace funds from the point of deposit. The sooner we start, the higher the recovery probability.

Investment Fraud Recovery FAQ
Common Questions
In many cases yes. Even though the platform itself is fraudulent, the funds you deposited are real cryptocurrency that moved through real wallets. Our forensics team traces those movements and pursues recovery through exchange cooperation and legal channels when funds can be identified at a regulated exchange position.
Do not deposit any more funds. The displayed balance is almost certainly fabricated. Take screenshots of everything immediately. Stop all contact and begin the evidence-preservation process described above, then contact us. Even if the platform appears active, your deposited funds have very likely already been moved.
No. This is one of the most common recovery fraud tactics. No legitimate exchange or platform requires upfront tax or fee payments before processing a withdrawal. Any such request confirms the platform is fraudulent. Do not pay — it will not result in a withdrawal and you will lose additional money.
This is the typical end stage of investment fraud. Preserve all evidence immediately — the platform URL, any account details, emails, and transaction records. Contact us as quickly as possible. While the website is gone, the blockchain transactions are permanent and we can begin tracing immediately.
Yes. Fake mining pools and cloud mining operations follow the same pattern as investment platforms — accepting deposits and fabricating returns before disappearing. The on-chain tracing methodology is identical and we handle these cases regularly.
