A scam wallet looks like a normal app. A fake crypto wallet can copy a known name, ask for a seed phrase, or show a balance that is not on the chain. The payment still left a trail. We investigate losses as a cybersecurity company — we do not replace the bank, the card scheme, or the police.
A real wallet can be drained if the seed left the device. That is a theft of keys. A fake crypto wallet never held keys you controlled — the balance was a picture.
Both still start with the date and how you paid. Send the date and how you paid. The first look at the file is free.
One character is enough to separate a clone from the real wallet.
If you sent coins in, that tx is the investigation. If you only typed a seed, say so — that is a different file.
Never send a seed phrase by form, email or chat. If it was typed into a fake page, treat those keys as burned.
Concrete cases from our forensic review archive: an exchange brand whose deposit addresses we trace · an exchange whose impersonators cash out traced funds · a cloned domain whose wallet trail we documented
An app or a page that shows a balance or asks for a seed so that a payment or the keys leave your control. It is not a real wallet you hold.
Do not send that seed to anyone who offers to 'restore' it. Move any coins that remain to new keys you created yourself. Then send the date and the fake URL — not the words.
No. We do not hold that account. We investigate the payment and the page you used.
