Fake Exchange Recovery — We Find Where Your Money Went

Blocked from withdrawing? Demanded to pay endless fees? The exchange that looked professional was a front. We trace your deposits, identify the real exchanges that received your funds, and push to freeze and recover them.

How the Scam Works

The exchange looks real — until you try to take your money out.

Fake exchanges are designed to be indistinguishable from legitimate ones. Professional website, live price charts, trading interface, responsive support. You deposit your crypto and everything appears to work normally. Your balance grows.

The trap closes when you request a withdrawal. Your account is suddenly "frozen for verification." Or you are told you must first pay a processing fee, then a tax clearance fee, then an AML compliance deposit. Each fee is presented as the final requirement. None of them release your funds — because the whole platform is a front.

Fake exchange investigation
Warning Signs

Is this what happened to you?

No verifiable regulatory registration

The exchange claims to be licensed but cannot be found in any official regulatory database.

Withdrawal blocked with no explanation

Your account is frozen, or you are told you need "additional verification" that was never required before.

Escalating fees that never end

"Processing fee," then "tax clearance," then "compliance deposit" — each one promised as the last, but your funds are never released.

Recently registered domain, no history

The website was registered recently and has no verifiable user history, independent reviews, or track record.

How We Help

We trace deposits, build evidence, and push for freeze and recovery.

1

Deposit Tracing

We trace your deposit transactions on-chain to identify where your funds actually went — which wallets, which exchanges, which services.

2

Exchange Identification

When funds land at a registered exchange, we document the receiving addresses and prepare a submission package for that exchange's compliance department.

3

Freeze & Recovery

With documented evidence, exchanges can often freeze receiving accounts. We guide you through the submission and escalation process.

Case Example

Here is how a fake exchange recovery works.

The Situation

A client found a trading platform through an online advertisement. The platform appeared professional — live market data, responsive chat support, regulated-looking credentials. The client deposited funds over several weeks. When they attempted to withdraw, customer support demanded a "withdrawal processing fee." After paying, a second "compliance verification fee" was demanded.

What We Did

Our team traced the client's deposit transactions across the blockchain. The funds had been consolidated and moved to wallets on a registered exchange. We prepared a case file with transaction records, deposit addresses, exchange account identifiers, and full communication history with the fraudulent platform.

The Outcome

The exchange's compliance team reviewed the evidence and froze the receiving account. The client recovered the majority of their deposits through the exchange's asset return process.

Recovery Factors — What Matters

Recovery prospects are strongest when deposits can be traced to a registered, compliance-mandated exchange. Cases where funds were immediately converted through mixing services have lower traceability.
