How do I find help with crypto fraud in Amsterdam?
By R.T. (Tyler) Dijst, blockchain investigator at Paucitas
How Paucitas gives help with crypto fraud in Amsterdam
We assess your situation first in a phone call, preferably scheduled through WhatsApp. We then follow the payments on the blockchain and record what is visible there: the route the funds took, the places where they were exchanged and the point at which the trail ends.
A follow-up appointment at the office is most useful when you have a lot of material or when your lawyer joins. For the rest, physical proximity is not needed: the work happens on the blockchain, which looks the same from anywhere.
What you supply
You supply the transaction hashes or wallet addresses, the screenshots of the contact, the bank statements and a short description of how things unfolded. For a first assessment that is enough.
What you receive
You receive a report with the findings, the method and an assessment of evidential value. We also state where the trail stops and what that means for your options.
If you are nearby we are glad to walk you through the report at the office by appointment. Otherwise we do that online or by phone.
How to get started
You get in touch, reachable every day, with a short description of your situation. The first conversation is free of charge and tells you whether an investigation makes sense in your case.
European supervisors publish background on crypto assets and the rules that apply to them: see ESMA and EBA.
Being based in Amsterdam says nothing about the outcome of an investigation. We say in advance what is realistic and do not promise recovery of your funds.
