Fake trading platforms
Funds sent to a fraudulent investment or trading site. We trace where the platform moved the funds afterwards and which venue received them.
We only contact you from @crtrace.com and @crtrace.support — never share your password and never send a payment to anyone else.
Case files
The cases we take on.
Most losses fall into a handful of patterns, and each one leaves a trail. Names, wallet addresses and institutions are withheld from everything published here.
Romance and investment fraud cases
Cases where someone you came to trust persuaded you to send digital assets. Stop sending anything further, including any supposed final fee, and keep every message.
Wallet theft and drainers
Seed-phrase theft, malicious token approvals, SIM swaps and drainer attacks. We trace the drainer cluster to the exchange where the assets were cashed out.
Second second-attempt fraud
If a supposed asset return company has already taken money from you, those payments can often be traced too. It is one of the most common cases we see.
Business email compromise
Payments diverted by an intercepted or spoofed instruction, where speed of attribution decides whether the balance is still on-platform.
Blocked bank or exchange transfers
Transfers to your own wallet stopped by automated fraud controls. We explain what to say, truthfully, so a legitimate transfer is not treated as suspicious.

Every case file we publish records what happened, where the funds travelled, which intervention worked, how long it took and what the client paid. Identities and identifying details are withheld. Outcomes depend on the evidence in each case and are never guaranteed.
