Why reporting matters
Tracing starts with a report
Official victim status unlocks legal freeze requests to exchanges — without it, blocking withdrawals is impossible.
The first 48 hours are critical
In our experience, reports filed within the first day are 3× more likely to result in an exchange freeze.
Your report protects others
Every report adds to the scam address database used by analysts to protect other users.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it realistic to recover funds after a crypto scam?
It depends on how quickly you act and the scam type. If funds haven't passed through a mixer and are sitting on a centralised exchange, there's a real chance of freezing them. In our experience, reporting within the first 24 hours with a txID gives a 30–45% chance of partial recovery.
Does it cost anything to file a report?
No. Filing with law enforcement agencies (FBI IC3, FTC, Action Fraud, etc.) is free. KarCrypto also offers a free initial consultation.
What happens to my data?
All data is protected by NDA. We never share information with third parties without your written consent.
Will a report help if the exchange is foreign?
Yes. International requests via Interpol and MLAT agreements cover most major jurisdictions. Binance, Bybit and Coinbase respond to official law enforcement requests.
How long does an investigation take?
Initial on-chain analysis: 24–48 hours. Legal package preparation: 3–5 business days. Exchange freeze response: 1–14 days depending on the platform.
