For any type of cryptocurrency theft, fraud, scam, or exploit, it is essential to gather and provide the relevant blockchain transaction data associated with the incident if you're hoping to pursue it or have the matter investigated. It's the first think we will ask for if you submit an inquiry to us without this information as no assessment can be performed without the data. Law enforcement will need the data as well if you are hoping they can take action. So take the time to gather this data properly.
Where can I find the blockchain transaction data associated with the stolen cryptocurrency?
If you lost money in your cryptocurrency wallet due to a theft or a fraud, look up your history of latest outbound transactions in your wallet software and copy the
a) Blockchain transaction IDs associated with all outbound transactions associated with the time period when the theft occurred.
and/or
b) Sender (your) wallet addresses and all recipient addresses associated with transactions performed when the theft occurred.
If the loss occurred from a legitimate exchange account, look up the latest outbound transactions associated with the time period when the theft occurred and provide
a) All the blockchain transaction IDs
and
b) Receiving/withdrawal addresses funds were sent to in each applicable transaction
or
c) Amount/Quantity of cryptocurrency that was sent to the withdrawal address from your account in each applicable transaction ID
You will need to gather this data from either from the withdrawal history of your account, or by generating a deposit/withdrawal history statement -- the process varies by exchange. Note that if the loss involved you sending money to a fraudulent cryptocurrency exchange platform, the blockchain transaction IDs associated with your loss cannot reliably be gathered from the fraudulent exchange -- you should be using the real exchange or wallet that you sent the money from to gather this data.
Copy this data in a copy & pasteable format. No screenshots are needed -- not at this time. Paste it into a word doc, notepad file, or an excel spreadsheet depending on your preference. You will want to provide this data to any private investigative firm that you are seeking assistance from, and to any law enforcement agency.
