Scam investigations · Always free

Follow the money.

Free, independent investigations into fiat and crypto scams.
We trace it, name it, and write it up so banks and police can act.

No account. No payment. No faff.

A typical trace — wallets, a mixer, and the off-ramp where a name exists

£0

What it costs. Always.1

No fee. No retainer. No cut of anything you get back. Paid “recovery agents” are usually the same scam, second act — so we refuse to look like one.

What we do

Both kinds of money.
Every kind of lie.

Crypto scams

Fake exchanges, pig-butchering platforms, drainers, rug pulls. Traced on-chain, hop by hop, across bridges and mixers.

Fiat & bank fraud

Impersonated banks, intercepted invoices, romance fraud, mule accounts. Traced back through sort codes, references and account trails.

One operator, exposed

Wallets and accounts that behave together get clustered — and every other victim paying in becomes visible.

The off-ramp

Stolen money must re-enter the real world. The account where it lands is where a name exists — we find it.

A report your bank and the police can act on.

Honest limits

What we can do.
What nobody can.

Guaranteed recovery doesn’t exist. Anyone selling it is lying.2

We can

  • Trace funds across wallets, chains and mixers
  • Identify the off-ramp where the money got a name
  • Work backwards from bank references and mule accounts
  • Link one operation across domains, ads and victims
  • Package it so banks and police can act fast

No one can

  • Freeze or seize funds — only banks, exchanges and courts
  • Reverse a blockchain transaction
  • Guarantee recovery
  • Reach money cashed out through lawless services
  • Promise a deadline
!

Asked to pay to “release” recovered funds? Same scam, second act.

We never ask for money, seed phrases, private keys, or remote access. Anyone doing so in our name is not us.

Compare

Three roads after a scam.

Only one of them is free — and honest about the odds.

How Trace compares with paid recovery firms and going it alone
What you’re weighing Trace Paid “recovery” firms On your own
What it costs £0, always Upfront fees, or a cut of anything recovered £0
What’s promised Only what’s possible “Guaranteed recovery”
What you get A traced trail and a report ready to file Often nothing at all Block-explorer links and guesswork
Where it can end Your bank, the exchange and the police — armed Scammed a second time A cold trail
What to send

Send what you have.
Incomplete is fine.

One of these is enough to start. The first is worth the most.

Transaction hashesBest

One hash opens the whole path the money took.

Wallet addresses

Any chain. They cluster the operator’s wallets.

Bank references

Sort codes, IBANs, references, dates — what a recall is built on.

The website or app

Ties one scam site to dozens on the same template.

Chats & handles

Screenshots with usernames visible — they get reused.

How they found you

An ad, a DM, a call — each points somewhere different.

Their documents

Forged contracts carry metadata and circulate between gangs.

Your timeline

What happened, in order, in your own words.

If the money moved in the last few days, ring your bank first — dial 159, the UK’s anti-fraud line. That beats any email.

Questions

Asked. Answered.

Is it actually free?

Completely. No fee, no retainer, no cut of anything you get back. Anyone charging in our name is not us.

Do I need all my evidence?

No — one transaction hash, wallet address or bank reference is enough to start. Send what you have and we’ll tell you what would help next.

Will I get my money back?

Nobody can promise that — walk away from anyone who does. What we deliver is the truth about where the money went, and a report that gives your bank and the police their best shot.

How long does a trace take?

Simple traces can move in hours. Cross-chain and mule-network cases take longer, and some never fully close — we’re honest about which is which from the start.

Who sees my case?

Only the people who can act on it — your bank, the exchanges involved, and the police. Nothing is published, and nothing is sold.

It was not your fault.

These operations are scripted and rehearsed on thousands of people before they reach you. Report it anyway — that’s how they get caught.
