FUND TRACING · CASE REPORTS
Crypto moves fast, but it moves in public. We follow the transfers your money made after it left you, identify where it came to rest, and write it up in a document you can put in front of the police or a lawyer.
We are an investigation and reporting service, not a law firm and not a recovery guarantee. No one can promise you your money back — read the fee section and the questions below before you decide anything.

CASE PATTERNS
If you recognise yourself in any of these, you were targeted by an organised operation running a script — not by bad luck, and not because you were careless.
A wrong-number message, or an invitation into a WhatsApp or Telegram "trading class". A teacher posts daily profit screenshots. An assistant walks you through installing an app and making a first deposit. You withdraw a small amount successfully, which is the point — it buys your trust. Then the deposits get bigger and the withdrawals stop working.
Someone finds you on a dating app, Instagram or Facebook, and moves the conversation to WhatsApp within a few days. Weeks of real attention — good morning messages, questions about your day — before money is ever mentioned. Then investing comes up almost by accident. This is the script the industry calls a "pig butchering" scam, and the relationship was the product being sold to you.
An advertisement promising automated returns, sometimes using a well-known Indonesian face without permission, sometimes claiming to be licensed. The site is a careful copy of a real exchange and the balance on your dashboard goes up every day. When you request a withdrawal you are asked for tax, then a margin top-up, then an unfreezing fee. Each payment was always going to be followed by another one.
WHY IT STALLED
This is the ordinary outcome, and it is not because nobody cared. A report needs a subject. Crypto fraud gives investigators an anonymous address instead of a person, and the funds are usually out of the country within hours. Police often cannot proceed without an identified suspect, and lawyers cannot file against someone with no name. The way out of that deadlock starts in one place: establishing where the money actually went and who controls it now.
Still worth investigating if any of these apply
Any one of them is reason enough for a free preliminary trace.
WHAT A TRACE ACTUALLY SHOWS
Every transfer after the one you made is written permanently to a public ledger. This is the path most Indonesian cases follow, and what each step leaves behind for us to work with.
STAGE 01 · YOU
A bank transfer to a personal account, or USDT sent from your own wallet or an exchange.
Evidence you already hold: receipts, screenshots, the address you sent to
STAGE 02 · COLLECTION
The address the platform gave you is shared with other victims. Its history often names the operation.
Frequently links your case to reports already filed by others
STAGE 03 · LAYERING
Usually within hours, into dozens of fresh addresses, to make the amount hard to follow by eye.
Splitting is mechanical, and machines follow it better than people do
STAGE 04 · CONVERSION
Converted between tokens, moved across chains, sometimes pushed through a mixing service.
Obscures the trail, rarely erases it — timing and amounts still line up
STAGE 05 · OFF-RAMP
To be spent it has to become money again — at an exchange, a payment processor or an OTC desk, all of which keep customer records.
This is the step that matters. A named business can be served a legal request.
Reaching stage five is the goal of an investigation, not a guaranteed outcome. Some trails end earlier. We tell you which one yours is before you spend anything.
WHY PEOPLE COME HERE
A first finding in about three working days. The full report sets out a timeline, a diagram of the fund flow and a list of the addresses involved, in a format built for supplementing a police report or briefing a lawyer — not a dashboard screenshot you have to explain yourself.
Our analysts work with the same clustering and attribution tools used by compliance teams at exchanges. Intermediate wallets, cross-chain bridges and mixing services are routine here. Connections that are invisible from the outside are usually still written on the chain.
Every case we close adds addresses, domains and platform fingerprints to our records. When a new case matches something we have seen before, the work starts weeks ahead. You are very rarely the first person this group has done this to.
Most of these operations run out of compounds elsewhere in Southeast Asia, and the funds usually settle outside Indonesia. We work with correspondents in the jurisdictions where that happens, so a request can reach the business holding the funds. A foreign trail is a harder case, not a closed one.
You do not need to know who they were. A transfer receipt, one wallet address, the website domain, or even only the chat history can be a starting point. Most people who contact us are convinced they have nothing useful, and most of them are wrong.
A large share of the people we help have not told their family. You can set how we contact you — text only, a specific time window, a name of your choosing. What you send us is not shared with anyone outside the case team.
No cost, no obligation
We will tell you plainly whether your case is traceable — including when the answer is that it probably is not.

FEES
Consultation and preliminary trace
Rp0
Ask as many times as you need. The preliminary trace establishes whether what happened to you was fraud and where the funds first moved.
HOW IT WORKS
By WhatsApp or phone. We will say whether it looks like a known pattern, roughly how long a trace would take, and what is realistic. Free, and it ends there if you want it to.
Starting from your receipts, an address or a website, we follow the first movements of the funds. This works even when the other side is overseas or unidentified.
Platform operators, connected domains, the services holding the receiving wallets, cross-checked against our case database, to establish as far as possible which organisation this was.
A written PDF with the timeline, the fund flow, the address list and the evidence, plus a session where we walk you through it so you can explain it yourself.
IN THEIR WORDS
A stranger called me and talked like we already knew each other. He said crypto was in a bull market and I was going to miss it. I told him I understood nothing about it. He said that was fine, he would share his screen and teach me.
So that is what happened. I followed him step by step — open the account, deposit, buy. For the first two weeks the number really did go up, and I withdrew about two million rupiah successfully. After that I believed him completely.
He told me to increase the amount. Over a few months I put in more than six hundred million. When I tried to withdraw, they said I had to pay income tax first. Then a security deposit to unfreeze the account. I started to feel something was wrong, but by then the app would not let me log in and he had stopped answering.
I filed a report and gave a statement. Months went by with no news. A lawyer told me that without knowing who the other party was there was nothing to file. I did not know what to do and I could not bring myself to tell my children.
I found this centre by searching online. I contacted them expecting nothing. What surprised me was that someone listened to the whole story without rushing me, and then explained where my money had gone in language I could follow.
The preliminary trace was free. Once I saw the result I finally understood what had actually been done to me. They were also clear about what they could and could not do — they did not oversell it — so I decided to engage them properly.
It is still in progress. But I am no longer just sitting here.
He messaged me on Instagram saying we had similar interests. After a few days we moved to WhatsApp and then we talked every day. He was good at it — asking whether I had eaten, whether I was tired.
About a month in he mentioned that he traded. I was mildly curious so I asked about it. He said not to put in much, three million, just to learn.
It went up, and he told me to try withdrawing. Three point eight million came into my account. At that moment I trusted it entirely.
I went to a hundred million, then another two hundred. The platform said I had over six hundred million. When I tried to withdraw they wanted twenty percent as a handling fee, so I sent another hundred and forty million. Then a ten percent tax. It felt wrong but he said trust me, and I sent seventy more.
In the end I had paid over five hundred million. Nothing could be withdrawn and he replied less and less.
I searched online and found out this has a name. When I contacted the centre they told me directly: this is a scam. I cried when I heard it said out loud.
What mattered most to me then was that they asked, at the very start, how I wanted to be contacted and what should never be sent to my phone. That is why I stayed.
The investigation is ongoing, and I get an update every few days rather than being left to wonder.
Last year I saw an advertisement on social media using a well-known finance personality, promising to double your capital in the short term. The website was identical to a real exchange, so I tried it.
They said withdrawals were fast, so I first sent a small amount of BTC to the address they gave. The interface showed my balance climbing and support kept encouraging me to add more.
When I actually wanted to withdraw the problems started — system maintenance, then tax, then more deposits. That is when I understood.
I reported it and was told there was insufficient evidence to open a case. I did not want to leave it there, so I searched for someone who does crypto investigations specifically and found this centre.
The preliminary work was free and a few days later I had a detailed document listing which addresses my coins had passed through and which service they ended up at. It looked like something I could actually hand over.
I engaged them, and I am now preparing supplementary material for the police while a lawyer looks at the civil side. There is no final result yet, but the case is moving.
It began with an online advertisement — beginners welcome, passive income every month. The page used the logo of a very well-known exchange and I could not tell it was fake.
I opened an account and support was extremely attentive, always contacting me first. Between the middle of the year and December I deposited in several instalments, more than two billion rupiah in total. The account balance looked wonderful and I thought I had finally caught something.
Then I tried to withdraw. Endless delays, and eventually the support account disappeared entirely.
Searching afterwards I discovered the domain I had been using differed from the real exchange by two letters. I went blank.
That is when I found this place. The investigation is still running and there has been progress on the receiving wallets and their transaction history; they report back at regular intervals. The cost was explained fully before anything began, with nothing hidden, which is the only reason I was willing to hand the case over.
I do not know how it ends. But I am not chasing it alone now.

QUESTIONS
Yes, and it is free, as many times as you need. The preliminary trace is also free, and it exists so you can find out whether what happened to you is traceable before money is discussed. Whether you go further is entirely your decision and we will not chase you. Fraud cases do get harder with time, so if something feels wrong it is worth asking early.
Yes. A large proportion of the people who contact us have told nobody. You can ask us to use WhatsApp text only, to call only in a particular time window, or to address you by a name you choose. What you give us stays with the case team and is not passed to any third party.
It depends on how far the funds travelled. The free preliminary trace usually takes about three working days; a full investigation typically runs two to four weeks. You will get a time estimate during the first conversation, before you commit to anything.
No — that is the normal starting position. Most cases arrive with nothing but a phone number, a website, or a string of characters that turns out to be a wallet address. Those are exactly the things a trace works from. Incomplete information is not a reason to wait.
Yes, and do it whether or not you work with us. A police report is the foundation for anything that follows, and it can matter for freezing funds at an Indonesian institution. In Indonesia you can report to your local police or through the National Police cybercrime channel. If you have not filed yet, tell us and we will help you organise the material first so the report is as useful as possible.
No, and no legitimate organisation will tell you otherwise. What we provide is fund tracing and a written report. Whether money is recovered depends on where the funds ended up, which jurisdiction holds them and what the police or courts do next — none of which is ours to promise. If anyone guarantees recovery and asks you to pay in advance, treat it as a second scam. Targeting people who have already lost money is a business in its own right.
Recovery work is a race against layering
You do not need your documents in order, a name, or a wallet address. Tell us what happened in your own words. We will tell you whether anything can still be followed — free, and with nothing owed if you decide to stop there.
Once funds are converted and split across enough wallets, tracing gets significantly harder. Sooner is genuinely better — even if you are only ready to ask a question.
