Police report

What it may indicate

Filing a police report is often the first formal step after someone has fallen victim to crypto fraud. With a report you put on record what happened and give the police the opportunity to investigate. A well-supported report, with the right details about transactions and addresses, increases the chance that something can be done with the case.

What is a police report?

A police report is an official notification to the police that a criminal offence has taken place. You describe what happened and provide the evidence you have, such as transaction hashes, screenshots and messages. The report is no guarantee that the money will return, but it is a necessary basis for a criminal investigation.

What do I need to file a report about crypto fraud?

It helps to gather everything that supports your account beforehand: the transaction hashes and wallet addresses, screenshots of conversations, emails, and details of the platform or person who approached you. The more complete your file, the better the police can assess the case.
