What matters
Public tracing shows movement but cannot control someone else’s wallet.
An identifiable centralized service may create a point for an official report.
Upfront demands for a “guaranteed recovery,” seed phrase, or private key are warning signs of recovery fraud.
Safe next actions
- Preserve evidence and avoid unknown recovery services.
- Run an initial scan to assess available data.
- Prepare an official report if an identifiable service receives the funds.
When specialist help is useful
A specialist can perform the available analytical and procedural work, while clearly explaining limits and dependencies.
