Preserve the blockchain transaction records and the evidence showing how the fake broker obtained your cryptocurrency, what it promised, and what happened when you tried to withdraw. Jim Recovery Team can use these records to connect the crypto payments with the broker’s activity and assess what can be investigated.

Preserve the Crypto Transaction Records

Start with every cryptocurrency payment made to the broker, not just the largest one.

Keep:

Transaction hashes or TXIDs
Receiving wallet addresses
Your sending wallet address
Cryptocurrency and blockchain network
Amount of each payment
Transaction dates and times
Exchange withdrawal confirmations
Any later transaction hashes you already know

These records establish where the cryptocurrency was actually sent and provide starting points for examining subsequent fund movement.

Save Evidence From the Broker

The broker’s website or app may disappear, change, or become inaccessible, so preserve the information while you still have it.

Useful records include screenshots of:

Your account balance
Deposits and transaction history
Claimed trading profits
Withdrawal requests
Withdrawal errors or rejected requests
Additional fee or tax demands
Broker profile and account information
Website pages and payment instructions

Also preserve the website domain, emails, usernames, phone numbers, and other identifying information associated with the broker.

Keep Your Communications

Messages can help establish how the scam developed and why each cryptocurrency payment was made.

Save relevant WhatsApp, Telegram, email, SMS, or social-media conversations, particularly messages containing payment instructions, investment claims, withdrawal promises, requests for additional money, or information about the supposed company.

Do not rely only on screenshots if the original conversation can still be preserved or exported.

Create a Simple Timeline

Write down the important events in order: when you first contacted the broker, when you deposited cryptocurrency, when additional payments were requested, when withdrawals failed, and when communication stopped.

A timeline can help an investigator compare the circumstances of each payment with its corresponding blockchain transaction.

Why Does This Evidence Matter?

The blockchain can show where cryptocurrency moved, while your broker records and communications explain the circumstances surrounding those transactions.

Together, the evidence can help distinguish your legitimate payments from unrelated wallet activity and identify which transactions should be examined further.

If you lost crypto to a fake broker, Jim Recovery Team can review the preserved transactions and broker evidence, analyze the relevant wallet activity, connect the on-chain records with the circumstances of the case, and assess whether the available evidence provides a reasonable basis for further investigation.

To begin a case review, provide the TXIDs, receiving wallet addresses, cryptocurrency and network, amounts and dates, along with broker screenshots, communications, withdrawal records, and website information. Contact [email protected] or WhatsApp +1 (929) 399-9264. The initial review can help determine which evidence matters most, where the relevant funds moved, and what investigative steps may be appropriate.
