Cryptocurrency fraud investigation in Reading

Wallsec is based in Reading. We work with people across Berkshire and the Thames Valley whose cryptocurrency has been lost to fraud, reconstructing where the funds moved from the public transfer record and preparing a written evidence report you can take to Action Fraud, your bank or a solicitor.

What we see in Berkshire

Our office is at 4th Floor, No. 1 Forbury Place, 43 Forbury Road, Reading, Berkshire RG1 3JH — a few minutes' walk from Reading station. Appointments are by arrangement; most of the work itself is done remotely because the material an investigation needs is digital.

Reports made from a Reading address go to Action Fraud, are assessed by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau, and any referral is passed to Thames Valley Police. A structured written trace does not change that triage, but it gives a reviewing officer verifiable references rather than a narrative.

Being local simply means you can meet us if you want to. It does not change our terms: a free first review, a fixed written scope before any paid work begins, and no promises about outcomes.

First steps if you have just lost funds

  1. Step 1

    Report to Action Fraud

    Use actionfraud.police.uk or 0300 123 2040, which covers Berkshire. Keep the crime reference number — later steps are easier when evidence attaches to an open report.

  2. Step 2

    Notify your bank or exchange in writing

    If a card payment, Faster Payment or exchange withdrawal was involved, tell them the same day and keep the written acknowledgement.

  3. Step 3

    Preserve the record

    Export transaction hashes, wallet addresses, chat histories and statements before accounts are closed or apps removed. This is the material a trace is built from.

There is a fuller walkthrough in our guide on reporting cryptocurrency fraud in the UK, and on preserving evidence before it disappears.
