Please read the below information if you are the victim of a cryptocurrency related financial crime such as a theft or scam.
Information:
If you are the victim of a crypto theft or scam obtain the following information for each transaction that removed cryptocurrency from your non-custodial wallet or crypto exchange account, whether you sent it as part of a scam or it was stolen from you (first four items are so crypto-capable law enforcement can get a jump on tracing):
Steps:
Next, make a crime report to these three places if you live in the United States of America and provide them with the above information:
For victims living outside of the United States of America, I will add international reporting contacts as they are obtained but until then, obtain the information in the top list and at least report to your local law enforcement.
Try to copy/paste the receiving wallet address and transaction hash information to law enforcement. Screen shots (photos) will work but copy/paste is way better.
If you do the things above as soon as you realize that you have been the victim of a crypto theft or scam, you will be drastically ahead of the game. Recovery of your stolen cryptocurrency is never guaranteed and, in fact, recovery is not the norm. However, if you do not report it you have zero chance of a recovery.
Remember, only law enforcement can attempt a potential recovery but even then, the stars have to align so set your expectations accordingly. There are some reputable private companies out there who assist with the asset tracing portion and recovery consulting (guiding you in reporting to law enforcement). However, be very skeptical of any private company who promises a recovery or wants to charge you thousands of dollars to trace your stolen or scammed cryptocurrency. I would advise you to report your incident ASAP to the agencies listed above after you have gathered the information from the top list.
This site is for information only. No certain outcome for your individual specific unique incident is guaranteed even if you follow the above steps. There is no guarantee that following the above steps will recover any past loss or stop any future loss. This site is designed to provide important information to victims of cryptocurrency related financial crimes such as thefts or scams. This is also not an all inclusive list. Gather the above information and take the above steps ASAP, yes. However, each situation is unique and additional information may be required by law enforcement after your initial report.
