Think you were scammed? Take a breath. Here’s your next step.
If you just sent crypto to a platform you can’t withdraw from, a “trader” who’s gone quiet, or a wallet that got drained — you’re not alone, and there are real, concrete things to do right now. I’ll help you understand what happened and give you the documentation you need.

My promise to you — read this first
I will not promise to recover your money. Anyone who promises that is scamming you a second time.
The space is full of fake “recovery agents” who prey on people right after they’ve been hit — asking for an upfront fee to “unlock” or “trace and return” your funds. It’s a second scam, every time. What I give you instead is the truth about what’s realistic and the documentation you need to report it properly. That honesty is the whole point.
I’ve been on your side of this
I lost about $12,000 to crypto scams and exploits over the years — rugged, phished, and burned by “audited” protocols. I know the exact sick feeling you have right now. That’s why I do this: to give people the honest, level-headed help I wish I’d had.
I’ve spent 12+ years in crypto (since 2013), built automated on-chain analysis tools, and worked on crypto integrations at Intuit. I’ll use that to trace what happened and explain it in plain English.
What the $149 session gives you
Exactly where your funds went, followed on the blockchain as far as the trail goes.
A straight answer on whether recovery is realistic — no false hope, no upsell to a “recovery service.”
Formatted for the FBI/IC3, local police, and your bank or exchange — the paperwork that actually gets things moving.
What to freeze, revoke, and change right now so it can’t get worse — and how to spot the second scam.
Before we even talk — do these free things now
- Stop all contact with the scammer, and never pay a “fee,” “tax,” or “deposit” to withdraw or unlock funds — that’s always part of the scam.
- Screenshot everything: the platform, chats, transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and any names or phone numbers.
- If your wallet may be compromised, revoke token approvals for free at revoke.cash and move any remaining funds to a brand-new wallet.
- File a report at ic3.gov (the FBI’s complaint center) and notify your bank or the exchange involved.
Want a human to do the trace, confirm what happened, and build the full documentation pack with you? That’s the session.
Get a clear, honest answer
One 45-minute call, a real on-chain trace, and a documentation pack you can act on — from someone who’s been scammed too and won’t sell you false hope.
Not legal or financial advice. I’m not a lawyer or licensed investigator — I also recommend you file with ic3.gov, local police, and your bank.
Honest answers to what you’re wondering
Can you get my money back?
Usually, no — and I’ll tell you honestly if that’s the case. Most scammed crypto is not recoverable, and anyone who guarantees recovery is running a second scam. What I can do is trace where it went and give you the documentation to report it, which is your best real shot at any outcome.
A “recovery company” already contacted me. Should I use them?
Almost certainly not. Legitimate help never cold-DMs scam victims promising to get funds back for an upfront fee. If someone reached out to you right after you were scammed, treat it as a second scam.
What do you actually need from me?
The wallet address, platform, or link involved, and any transaction IDs and screenshots you have. After you book, you’ll get a short questionnaire so we make the most of the call.
Is this confidential?
Yes. What you share with me stays between us. The documentation pack is yours to file with authorities and your bank.
