"Mending the pen after the sheep are lost is not too late."
EthGuardians is a blockchain intelligence firm registered in Hong Kong SAR under AI Data Intelligence, with a Swiss legal partnership through SarahLegal.io. We assist fraud victims in China with evidence, blockchain tracing, and legal process only. We do not offer trading or investment advice. 96% historical recovery rate across closed cases. No win, no fee.
Mainland China has restricted cryptocurrency trading since 2021. This page therefore covers one thing only: assistance for fraud victims, evidence, and legal process. We do not offer trading, we do not give investment advice, and we do not judge how you came to hold digital assets. Many victims hold assets through history or overseas ties. We serve them without judgment.
If you have been scammed, call 110 or report at your nearest police station, and ask for the official report receipt. It establishes your status as a victim and anchors every later legal step. The National Anti-Fraud Center app (国家反诈中心), run by the Ministry of Public Security, lets you report suspicious accounts and verify questionable platforms.
The dominant pattern in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou is the pig butchering scam (杀猪盘). A stranger builds trust over weeks on WeChat or a dating app, then guides you to a fake platform where the profits on screen are fabricated. When you try to withdraw, they demand taxes or deposits first. That demand is the signature of the fraud.
Many victims delay reporting out of concern for face. That delay serves the scammer, not you. Reporting is the smart, strong move: it creates the official record, and the blockchain keeps the evidence permanently. Every transfer remains on the public ledger, and reading it is our trade. We answer caution with verifiable facts: a written assessment before you commit, a company registration in Hong Kong SAR under AI Data Intelligence, and a Swiss legal partnership through SarahLegal.io.
The national emergency number. State that you are a victim of telecom and online fraud, and ask for a report receipt.
The official Ministry of Public Security app for reporting fraudulent accounts and checking suspicious platforms.

A structured four-step process combining advanced blockchain forensics with formal legal action.
We never promise outcomes. We can, however, be honest about patterns. The labels below reflect general tendencies; your written assessment decides what applies to your case.
Victims of one scam are targeted again by fake recovery services. We never ask for seed phrases, private keys, two-factor codes, remote desktop access, or any upfront payment. Anyone who asks for these in our name is an impersonator.

Shanghai, China • August 2025
"I lost 580,000 yuan to a fake platform. The police took my report but nothing moved, and a friend introduced me to EthGuardians. They mapped the flow of funds within three weeks and recovered 510,000 yuan. Every step was explained in writing, which put me at ease."
Shenzhen, China • January 2026
"A pig butchering scam took 320,000 yuan from me. I was too ashamed to tell my family. My case manager never blamed me once. We recovered 265,000 yuan, and I got my dignity back with it."
You pay nothing when you engage us. Our fee, agreed in writing before work begins, comes out of recovered funds after they reach your wallet. If we do not recover anything, you owe nothing.
Never. We do not ask for seed phrases, private keys, two-factor codes, remote desktop access, or any upfront payment. Anyone who asks for these in our name is an impersonator.
Call 110 or report at your nearest police station, and ask for the official report receipt. You can also report fraudulent accounts through the National Anti-Fraud Center app (国家反诈中心). Keep transaction hashes, receiving wallet addresses, the platform URL, and all chat records.
It depends on the case. You receive a written assessment within 24 hours. Tracing takes weeks; cases that involve court action can take months. We give you an honest outlook in writing before you commit to anything.
Three things: no upfront fees, no requests for seed phrases, and a written assessment backed by a verifiable company registration. EthGuardians is registered in Hong Kong SAR under AI Data Intelligence.
No. We assist fraud victims with evidence, tracing, and legal process only. Mainland China restricts cryptocurrency trading, and our service is strictly limited to victim assistance.
