Investment Scam Investigation Services
Lost crypto to a fake investment platform, Ponzi scheme, or fraudulent fund manager? We trace your funds through scammer wallets to identify exchange destinations for potential recovery.
How Investment Scams Work
Cryptocurrency investment scams promise high returns with little risk—a classic fraud indicator. These scams range from sophisticated fake trading platforms that mirror legitimate exchanges to simple Ponzi schemes paying "returns" with other victims' deposits.
The fake platforms show fabricated profits in your "account," encouraging larger deposits. But your cryptocurrency is stolen immediately upon transfer—the numbers you see are just a manipulation tool. When you try to withdraw, you'll face endless excuses, additional "fee" demands, or complete silence.
Our investigation ignores the fake platform's numbers and traces your actual blockchain transactions. We follow your funds through the scammer's wallet network to identify where they ultimately went—often to exchanges where potential recovery action is possible.
Types of Investment Scams
We investigate all cryptocurrency investment fraud
Fake Trading Platforms
Fraudulent websites mimicking legitimate exchanges, showing fabricated profits while stealing deposits.
Ponzi Schemes
Investment programs paying "returns" from new investor deposits rather than actual profits.
HYIP (High-Yield Investment Programs)
Schemes promising unrealistic daily or weekly returns on crypto investments.
Cloud Mining Scams
Fake mining operations that collect payments but never provide actual mining services.

Scammers posing as professional traders who collect funds and disappear.
Signal Group Scams

Red Flags of Investment Scams
Guaranteed Returns
No legitimate investment guarantees returns. Promises of fixed daily, weekly, or monthly returns are almost always fraudulent.
Pressure to Invest More
Scammers create urgency with "limited time" offers or claim you'll miss out on profits if you don't deposit immediately.
Withdrawal Problems
Unexpected fees, taxes, or "security deposits" required to withdraw. Legitimate platforms don't hold funds hostage.
Unverifiable Track Record
Can't independently verify their claimed performance. Testimonials are fake. Team members don't exist on LinkedIn.
Investment Scam Investigation FAQ
Can you trace funds sent to fake investment platforms?
Yes. Fake trading platforms display fabricated numbers, but actual crypto transfers are recorded on the blockchain. We trace your real deposits to wherever they actually went—typically through multiple wallets before reaching exchanges or being converted.
The platform showed I had profits. Why can't I withdraw?
Fraudulent platforms show fake balances that never existed. Your cryptocurrency was taken immediately upon deposit. The "profits" you see are just numbers on a screen controlled by scammers. Our investigation traces where your actual funds went.
How do I know if an investment platform is fake?
Warning signs include: guaranteed high returns, pressure to deposit more, withdrawal issues with ever-changing excuses, unlicensed operation, anonymous team, and recent domain registration. If you're unsure, we can analyze the platform before you send more funds.
I invested in a crypto project that rugged. Is that the same?
Rug pulls are different from fake investment platforms but equally investigable. In rug pulls, a real token exists but developers abandon it. Fake platforms never had real investments at all. We investigate both types.
Can you help recover funds from Ponzi schemes?
We trace where your deposits went within the Ponzi operation. While early Ponzi investors sometimes receive payments from later victims, funds ultimately flow to operators. Our investigation identifies where operator funds went—often to exchanges.
What documentation do I receive?
Complete investigation report including: all traced transactions, wallet relationships, identified exchanges, fund flow diagrams, timeline analysis, and evidence package for law enforcement. Reports are designed to support recovery efforts.
