Our team examines the information submitted, identifies gaps and explains the reporting or professional support options relevant to the case.

Start with what you have: when it happened, how much was sent and how, where you met the other party, and any names, accounts, wallet addresses or websites involved. Screenshots, messages, receipts and transfer confirmations are helpful. You can save your case as a draft and add evidence later.
The payment method, available evidence, timing and jurisdictions all affect the options. Our team reviews these factors before discussing further steps.
You create an account, verify your identity and submit your case. Our team reviews it and may ask for more information. Status changes, requests and messages appear in your account, and you are notified by email when something changes.
