Uncover critical information for crypto scam recovery
Attributions & associations
Blockchain intelligence software can gather ownership attribution details for analysis. While this information rarely reveals the personal identities of individual offenders, it can highlight key associations with criminal organisations or fraudulent schemes.
Address clusters
A cluster is a set of cryptocurrency addresses managed by the same user or group. By widening the investigation to encompass multiple addresses, our cybercrime specialists can gather more evidence for successful crypto scam recovery.
Verification details
Many VASPs, cryptocurrency exchange platforms and decentralised finance firms demand identity verification information when creating accounts. If a scammer has used such services for cryptocurrency dealings, this personal data can be accessed with a civil subpoena or criminal warrant with the aim of crypto scam recovery.
IP addresses
Blockchain surveillance systems can collect metadata to look out for IP addresses linked to specific payments. An IP address may shed light on the fraudster?s physical location when a given transaction was made.
Transaction volumes
The total value of cryptocurrency transactions can indicate the scale of a scam. Due to the number of victims targeted, the more extensive or larger schemes may warrant a class action lawsuit in civil Court, as well garner more attention from media and law enforcement officials.
Risk profiles
Advanced algorithms may be used to perform automatic risk profiling that tracks the activity of a cryptocurrency address. Any interactions with certain entities, such as peer-to-peer exchanges or ransomware rings, will be flagged.
Total address values
The amount of assets held by an offender?s cryptocurrency address can be a vital piece of information for successful recovery. A high-value address may be subject to a seizure warrant in criminal Court or a Freezing or Garnishee Order in civil proceedings for crypto scam recovery.
Tracking down assets
The goal of cryptocurrency tracing is to find your stolen assets and the offenders who swindled them. Although blockchain transactions are anonymous, the wallet address used by the offender to cash out is not.
To identify this pivotal information for crypto scam recovery, our investigators leverage tracing software to follow funds through a web of online transactions. Along the way, we will detect suspicious trends, sidestep decoys, and uncover key associations with criminal operations. This meticulous process demands considerable time, resources and prowess.
Identifying cryptocurrency scammers
Once we?ve pinpointed the wallet address, it?s time to identify its owner. Some exchanges will fulfil a request from our investigators to share the wallet holder?s identification. However, most exchanges require this request to come directly from the police. Therefore, you will need to ask your local police station to email the relevant exchange.
As this is a relatively young type of crime, police responses can differ by jurisdiction, station, and officer. To make this process as effortless as possible for the police, we can provide a draft request letter.
Aiding crypto scam recovery in Court
Once the police are equipped with the wallet holder?s personal details, Mayer-Musk Recoveries can assist their efforts to recover your assets. We will gather admissible evidence of the fraud for use in Court, so that you are best positioned to get your money back.
