Where the money
from online scams
goes.

Forensic investigations into financial and crypto fraud: we trace the path of the funds, identify the parties that can be named, and produce technical reports usable in civil and criminal proceedings.

Initial fee € 190 including VAT · 12% of the sums actually recovered · no cost when the report rules out every possible route.

Report in 10 days
— in funds whose trail we reconstructed
— cases analysed by our office
— signed technical reports delivered
27% of cases still had an anchoring point

Figures on the activity of our analysis office. An «anchoring point» means part of the funds could still be traced to an identifiable party: it does not mean money recovered, nor is it a forecast of outcome.

If someone asks you for more money to «unlock» your withdrawal, do not pay. That is stage two of the same scam. No legitimate operator asks for an advance, a tax advance or the keys to your wallet. What to do now →

The method

There is no button
that gives your money back.
There is a sequence.

Five steps, always in the same order. If the second one leaves nothing to act on, we stop and do not ask you for the fee: that happens in about one case in three.

The five stages, in detail
Where we work

Every scam leaves a different trace.

The method is the same; what changes is where we look. We work on the five patterns we see most often, with different tools and counterparties for each.

Fake brokers and trading platforms

Cloned websites, «advisers» on chat, guaranteed returns. We start from the transfers to foreign IBANs.

Crypto scams

Fake exchanges, non-existent staking, emptied wallets. The public ledger is our main source.

Fake recovery services

Those who promise a refund against an advance. They are often the same people behind the first scam.

Payment and card fraud

Unauthorised charges, bank phishing, chargebacks to open within tight deadlines.

«Alternative» income and investments

Property, forests, receivables, gold: fixed-return promises with no product underneath.

Cases and results

What we achieved,
and what we could not achieve.

Every case ends one of three ways: funds traced and a case opened, a partial recovery, or no route at all. We publish all three.

€12,400 lost, €4,100 returned after the account was blocked

Part of the money was still in an account held with an Italian institution: frozen on our report and returned. The rest had already been withdrawn in cash.

€6,900 out through a mixer: case closed at no cost

The client had already been contacted by a second group asking for an advance. The funds were no longer traceable: no anchoring point, no fee charged.

The process

From first contact to the report,
with no shortcuts.

Every stage has a verifiable output: a document, a list of addresses, a filing. If a stage produces nothing, the case stops there.

  1. Intake

    Interview, documents, bank statement, transfer receipts. This is how we establish what happened and when.

    1–3 days from opening
  2. Reconstruction

    We follow the flows through transfers and the blockchain. This is where it becomes clear whether an anchoring point remains.

    31% stop here, at no cost
  3. Report

    A signed technical document with cited sources: hash, date, institution, transaction number.

    10 days business days
  4. Filings and legal

    We prepare the papers for the complaint and hand them to the lawyer handling the recovery.

    12% only on what comes back
The method

Why a report is worth more than a promise.

You cannot file a promise in court. A technical document, dated and signed, you can.

Verifiable analysis

Every step of the report cites its source: hash, date, institution, transaction number. Anyone can check it again, including the other side's lawyer.

Stated timelines

Ten business days for the report, forty-eight hours for the first reply. If we slip, we write it in the case file before you have to ask.

Stated outcomes

31% of cases close at the reconstruction stage and are never invoiced. We publish it because it is the number no competitor shows.

A network of professionals

We work with lawyers, expert witnesses and colleagues in other jurisdictions. The report is written to be used by them, not to sit in a drawer.

What we do not do
and what nobody should promise you.

The «fund recovery» industry is full of people profiting from despair. These are the limits we set for ourselves, written into the contract and not only on the website.

Read the limits of the service
  • We do not guarantee recovery. Anyone who guarantees it is selling hope, not a service.
  • We do not ask for advances to «unlock» a refund. The initial fee covers the analysis, and it is paid once.
  • We never ask for private keys, seed phrases or remote access to your computer or your online banking.
  • We do not hire hackers. There are no «ethical hackers» who recover wallets for a fee: that is a second scam.
  • We do not promise fixed timescales. The Italian courts have their own, and we do not set them.
Questions

The questions everyone asks us.

What does it cost to try?

The first assessment is free: we read the documentation and tell you whether the case makes sense. If we decide to proceed, the initial fee is €190 including VAT and covers the analysis and the report; the 12% applies only to sums actually recovered. If the report says there is nothing to be done, we ask for nothing more.

How long does it take?

The report takes on average ten business days from complete delivery of the documents. The stages that follow — complaint, requests to institutions, a possible lawsuit — are measured in months or years and are not up to us.

Is it true that crypto is unrecoverable?

No, but it is true that often there is nothing left to follow. If the funds reached an exchange that identifies its clients, there is a party to turn to; if they went through a mixer or services with no checks, the trail ends. It is the first thing we verify.

Are you lawyers?

No. We are analysts: we produce technical reports and help prepare the filings. Legal documents are signed by a lawyer — yours, or one of the professionals we work with. We handle the technical side, not representation in court.

Did you call me? I never asked for anything.

We make no cold calls and send no unsolicited messages. If someone presents themselves as working with us without you having contacted us, they do not. Write to assistenza@traccia.it.com and report it.
