"Who searches, finds."
EthGuardians is a blockchain intelligence firm registered in Hong Kong SAR. We help victims of crypto fraud in Estonia trace stolen assets and pursue recovery through legal channels. 96% historical recovery rate across closed cases. No win, no fee.
After a crypto scam, the first official step is a report to the Police and Border Guard Board. File it online at politsei.ee or at your nearest prefecture; in an emergency call 112. Keep the case number: it proves you acted in good faith, and it is needed when exchanges and banks are asked for data. For cyber incidents, also notify CERT-EE, which coordinates incident registration and analysis.
Finantsinspektsioon, the Financial Supervision Authority, supervises the market and publishes warnings about unregistered investment platforms. Estonia is a digital state: e-Residency, X-Road, and digital signatures are everyday tools, so Estonian readers know how to evaluate digital services. Scammers abuse exactly that reputation. Many fraud platforms have claimed to be "licensed in Estonia", because the country issued crypto licences for years. Always verify a licence in the Finantsinspektsioon register: the claim alone proves nothing.
A typical Estonian case starts with a phone call where the caller poses as a bank security officer, or with a social media advertisement leading to a fake investment platform. The balance on screen is invented; when you request a withdrawal, they first demand a "tax" or an "activation fee". In Narva and Ida-Virumaa, phone scammers often work in Russian; in Tallinn and Tartu, in Estonian. The method is the same.
Cases arrive from Tallinn, Tartu, Narva, and Pärnu, and the whole process runs online, so your location never limits your options. Estonian culture values precision and stays silent in the face of empty promises. So we say it plainly: recovery can never be promised, but the blockchain forgets no transaction, and we know how to read it. Shame is the scammer's ally. A police report and a documented case analysis are the two steps that end that alliance.

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 access to your device, or any upfront payment. Anyone who asks for these in our name is an impersonator.

You pay nothing at the start. Our fee, agreed in writing before work begins, comes out of recovered funds after they reach your wallet. If nothing is recovered, you owe us nothing.
Never. We do not ask for seed phrases, private keys, two-factor codes, remote access, or upfront payments. Anyone who asks for these in our name is an impersonator.
File a report online at politsei.ee or at your nearest prefecture; in an emergency call 112. Keep transaction hashes, receiving wallet addresses, the platform URL, and all correspondence. Also notify CERT-EE about the cyber incident.
It depends on the case. You receive a written assessment within 24 hours. Tracing takes weeks; cases with court action can take months. We give you an honest outlook in writing before you commit to anything.
Check four things: no upfront fees, no requests for seed phrases, a written assessment before commitment, and a verifiable company registration. EthGuardians is registered in Hong Kong SAR under AI Data Intelligence.
The blockchain does not forget. Delay makes tracing harder, but every transaction is still on the public ledger. A free case review shows you where you stand.
