How Paucitas helps with crypto fraud for clients in the UK
We assess your situation first in a phone call, on +31 20 244 5774, which you can make at any time. 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 video call is most useful when you have a lot of material or when your solicitor joins. Physical proximity is not needed: the work happens on the blockchain, which looks the same from anywhere.
What you supply
You supply Paucitas with 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 from Paucitas 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.
We walk you through the report online or by phone, and if you are ever in Amsterdam you are welcome at the office by appointment.
How to get started
You get in touch with Paucitas, 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.
If you have lost money, also report it: in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to Report Fraud, in Scotland to Police Scotland on 101. Our report can support that step.
The UK financial regulator publishes background on crypto and the risks that come with it: see FCA: crypto basics and FCA: recovery room scams.
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.
Would you like to know what this means for your situation? Ring us on +31 20 244 5774, day or night, or fill in our contact form and you will hear from us within 1 to 3 hours. We answer emails within 24 hours, usually the same day. The intake is free and without obligation.
Do you have a question about your own situation?
Feel free to get in touch with Paucitas. Paucitas can be reached by phone 24/7, including evenings and weekends. Through the contact form we usually reply within 1 to 3 hours, and we answer e-mail within 24 hours.
