While you can absolutely report to authorities without CryptoConsultz, a very high percentage of people attempting to report directly DO NOT provide the appropriate information in the appropriate format.

The chances of recovering your money vary with each case. CryptoConsultz was founded to improve these odds by providing clear, complete information to authorities. While we can't guarantee recovery, we offer the best possible chance. Avoid any company that promises guaranteed recovery, as these are often scams. We provide transparent, realistic assessments and only recommend services that genuinely increase your recovery chances. Providing detailed data to law enforcement is crucial. We help you gather all necessary information, including wallet addresses, transaction IDs, and forensic reports, to maximize your recovery chances.

No, CryptoConsultz does not directly report cases to law enforcement. However, we provide comprehensive investigation details that help guide law enforcement, reduce their workload, and increase the likelihood of your case being picked up. You must report your case yourself, but we ensure you have all the necessary information to support your report.

We understand that the cost of our services seems high, especially since this is a traumatic experience for our clients. However, we hope you understand tracing crypto assets through various exchange platforms and wallets, and analyzing dozens of transactions is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. We don’t just analyze your wallets, we trace the flow of funds from your wallet through dozens or hundreds of other wallets.

Our team has years of experience in blockchain forensics. We assist in asset tracing not only for law enforcement but for attorneys and accountants as well. We are experts at interpreting the flow of your funds from wallets and exchange accounts.

Since 2017, CryptoConsultz has successfully recovered funds in many cases, though the legal process can be lengthy, often taking a year or more. We offer a case liaison service to work with law enforcement on your behalf, keeping you updated on progress. If you opt out of this service, we may not have access to the final recovery data. It's crucial to understand that crypto asset recovery depends on various factors, including the scammer's actions and law enforcement timelines.

We’ve not had a case where we have failed to find information that will be helpful to law enforcement. There are cases where our initial analysis does not support a more extensive investigation, at which point we will guide you on how to report using the information from the initial analysis.

You must understand our efforts are twofold: damage control and recovery. Even if your case does not ultimately result in recovery, we will help you from falling victim to secondary scams and can help you minimize your tax burden by offsetting other income or capital gains. We’ve had dozens of clients who would have kept investing with the scammer had we not been there to support them and alert them they’ve been scammed. We’ve saved our clients over a million dollars in scam avoidance and offered much-needed support during their time of need.

You are at risk! Many scam victims are targeted and then retargeted once you’ve fallen victim the first time. We can help you avoid being re-victimized and help you ensure your cyber security is up to par. See our Crypto Security Services for more details.

Remember that crypto is a new industry, therefore, we do not yet have data on long-term success rates. Often, scammers will hold onto funds, knowing wallets with illegal activity are being watched. Months or years might go by before a scammer attempts to turn their crypto into cash. In order to “cash out” a scammer will need to provide their private information (name, address, bank account) to a legitimate crypto exchange. It’s at this point law enforcement can intervene.

So, even if a case is not solved in the first year, this doesn't mean it won’t succeed in the future.

Scammers are rapidly evolving their tactics, but law enforcement is evolving along with them. Their ability to track down, prosecute, and recover stolen assets is improving dramatically. The key is to get your case information into their database in a way that will allow them to monitor the scammer's wallets and/or connect your wallet to a larger ring of scammers.

Imagine your cryptocurrency like a digital treasure that's been stolen. The team uses special software to follow the path of your stolen cryptocurrency.

Here's how they do it:

Tracing the Path: First, our team looks at the digital wallet(s) you identify as yours. They use advanced tools to trace all addresses that have taken control of your assets after you’ve been scammed. It's like following digital breadcrumbs.

Monitor the Wallets: Next, they keep a digital eye on the wallets controlling the stolen assets. Our team monitors these 24/7/365 and documents all activity.

Observe the movement of assets to Exchange: Often, the thieves who stole your assets will attempt to trade them for fiat currency (dollars or euros) using an exchange. Most scammers caught by law enforcement are caught in the exchange phase.
