Fake cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet scams rank among the most deceptive forms of digital fraud. These platforms are crafted to seem legitimate—often displaying fake balances, profits, and trading activity—while preventing withdrawals and stealing deposited funds. Garrett Investigations LLC offers specialized crypto fraud investigation services, including blockchain tracing, to help victims trace cryptocurrency transactions, identify fraudulent platforms, and support recovery efforts.
If you’ve deposited funds into a platform and cannot withdraw, you may be facing a cryptocurrency exchange scam or a wallet fraud scheme.
A fake crypto exchange scam consists of fraudulent websites or apps that mimic real trading platforms. Victims are frequently led through the process by a scammer posing as a broker, advisor, or support representative. These scams typically include:
Platforms displaying fake account balances and profits
Withdrawal restrictions or “fees” imposed to release funds
Requests for additional deposits to unlock accounts
Impersonation of legitimate exchanges
Fake customer support interactions
Once funds are deposited, they are quickly transferred to external wallets controlled by fraudsters.
Garrett Investigations LLC employs advanced blockchain tracing and forensic analysis techniques to uncover the workings of cryptocurrency scams and track where funds are sent:
1. Deposit Transaction Analysis
We trace cryptocurrency deposits from your wallet to the receiving addresses used by the fraudulent platform, utilizing blockchain tracing methods.
2. Wallet Identification & Clustering
We identify related wallets and group them to reveal patterns and connections within the scam network, crucial for effective crypto fraud investigation.
3. Platform Infrastructure Analysis
We examine how the fraudulent exchange operates, including wallet usage, transaction flow, and behavioral patterns, enhancing our understanding of cryptocurrency scams.
4. Fund Movement Tracking
We follow how assets are transferred across wallets, exchanges, and decentralized systems, providing clarity in the realm of crypto fraud investigation.
5. Investigative Reporting
You receive a structured report detailing transaction paths, wallet connections, and findings that can support:
- Legal action
- Law enforcement reporting
- Exchange recovery efforts
We frequently investigate cases where victims:
Deposited cryptocurrency into a trading platform that blocks withdrawals
Were instructed to pay additional “fees” or “taxes” to access funds
Used a mobile app or website that appeared to be a legitimate exchange
Were guided step-by-step by a scammer posing as a broker
Transferred funds to a wallet provided by a fraudulent platform
Each case is analyzed to determine how the scam was structured and where the cryptocurrency was ultimately sent.
