What to do

If you are looking at your own case rather than reading generally, our cryptocurrency investigation service explains how a case is scoped and worked, the asset tracing hub covers the network-specific work, and our overview of cryptocurrency scam recovery in the UK sets out what is realistic. Asset pages: USDT tracing, Bitcoin tracing and Ethereum tracing. You can also contact the investigations team directly.
Common questions
- The site shows my profits — is that money real?
- Dashboard figures on a fraudulent platform are usually just numbers on a screen. What matters is where your actual payments went.
