RecoveryBridge
Specialists in tracing, documenting, and pursuing stolen digital assets after cryptocurrency scams, phishing thefts, and fraudulent investment platforms.
Why Recovery Matters
Crypto scams move fast — RecoveryBridge moves with a clear recovery plan.
Cryptocurrency scams are rising across Canada: fake investment platforms, deepfake celebrity ads, romance-investment schemes, and phishing drainers. Once funds leave your wallet, ordinary bank chargeback rules often do not apply — which is exactly why structured recovery work matters.
RecoveryBridge helps victims act quickly: we map transaction paths, identify exchange touchpoints, prepare evidence packages, and coordinate the next steps needed to pursue stolen digital assets. If you were targeted by a crypto scam, we are here to help you start the recovery process.
Our Recovery Method
How RecoveryBridge works to pursue stolen cryptocurrency
Every case is unique, but successful recovery efforts usually follow a disciplined sequence of investigation, preservation, and escalation.
-
1. Confidential Intake & Loss Assessment
We collect your identity details, amount lost, asset types (BTC, ETH, USDT, and others), scam timeline, wallet addresses, transaction hashes, exchange accounts used, and all communications with the alleged platform or scammer. This builds the factual foundation of your case.
-
2. Blockchain Path Mapping
Our analysts reconstruct the on-chain movement of your funds: source wallets, intermediary hops, clustering patterns, conversions into stablecoins, and any deposits into known centralized exchanges or custodial services where freezes may still be possible.
-
3. Evidence Package Preparation
We compile a structured dossier: screenshots, chat logs, emails, KYC/payment records, TXIDs, timestamps, and a narrative timeline. Clean evidence improves the chance that banks, exchanges, and police can act.
-
4. Exchange, Bank & Platform Notices
Where funds appear to have landed on a regulated venue, we help prepare freeze or fraud notices with the relevant identifiers. If bank wires, Interac e-Transfers, or card payments funded the scam, we guide parallel banking alerts.
-
5. Law Enforcement & Regulatory Reporting
We help you report accurately to local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, and we organize materials that investigators can use. Canadian coverage has shown that timely police cyber tracing can recover assets when funds remain reachable.
-
6. Ongoing Monitoring & Escalation Options
If assets move again, we continue monitoring. Where civil remedies may apply — disclosure orders, preservation requests, or counsel referrals — we outline practical next steps based on what the chain evidence supports.
Technical & Practical Levers
What fund recovery actually involves
On-chain forensics
Transaction graph analysis identifies where stolen assets traveled, including peel chains, peel-and-merge patterns, and conversions into USDT/USDC that often precede cash-out attempts.
Exchange touchpoint detection
When funds hit a centralized exchange deposit address, there may be a narrow window to request account freezes through the platform’s fraud or legal channels — especially with a police report number.
Fiat payment reverse paths
If you funded crypto purchases via bank transfer, debit, or credit card, we help you alert the financial institution immediately. Early intervention can sometimes interrupt remaining payments.
Scam pattern classification
Romance investment scams, fake trading dashboards, pig-butchering schemes, phishing drainers, and recovery-of-recovery scams each leave different evidence trails — and different escalation routes.
Cross-border complexity
CBC reporting notes that stolen crypto can move overseas within minutes. International pathways require careful documentation so authorities and platforms can cooperate where jurisdiction allows.
Speed as a recovery factor
Winnipeg police publicly described recovering $155,000 of $168,000 in a crypto investment scam after tracing bitcoin converted to tether. Timing and technical follow-through were decisive.

Questions Victims Ask
Clear answers before you submit a case
Can RecoveryBridge help after a cryptocurrency scam?
Yes. We specialize in helping victims of crypto investment scams, phishing thefts, and fraudulent platforms. We review your evidence, map on-chain activity, and outline practical recovery pathways tailored to your case.
What information do you need from me?
Full contact details, approximate or exact amount lost, cryptocurrency types, dates, wallet addresses, transaction hashes, exchange names, payment methods used to buy crypto, and copies of communications with the scammer or fake platform.
How quickly should I start?
As soon as possible. Crypto assets can move quickly across wallets and exchanges. Early case intake, evidence preservation, and tracing improve the options available for pursuing your funds.
How is RecoveryBridge different from a recovery scam?
We do not ask you to send cryptocurrency to “unlock” funds, and we never claim secret government partnerships or guaranteed returns. Our process starts with documentation and tracing — aligned with how police and platforms actually evaluate fraud reports.
Should I still contact police?
Yes. A police report is often essential for exchange freezes and formal investigations. RecoveryBridge complements — never replaces — reporting to law enforcement and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
