Hong Kong is our home. EthGuardians is registered in Hong Kong SAR under AI Data Intelligence, and this city's rules shape how we work. The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) licenses virtual asset trading platforms and publishes alerts on unlicensed operators. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) supervises the banking system that scammers try to move money through. The JPEX case of 2023 showed the whole city what an unlicensed platform looks like, and it made Hong Kong one of the most scam-aware publics in Asia.
Reporting is straightforward. The Hong Kong Police Force runs CyberDefender (守網者, cyberdefender.hk), an official portal for online reporting and scam alerts. The Anti-Deception Coordination Centre hotline, 18222, operates around the clock and can help stop payments in progress. Keep your report reference number. It anchors every later legal step.
The dominant pattern across Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, and Causeway Bay is the WhatsApp or Telegram investment group. A "teacher" posts winning trades, assistants urge members to deposit on a fake platform, and the profits on screen are fabricated. Withdrawal triggers demands for taxes or fees. Pig butchering through dating apps follows the same script at a slower pace. These scripts target trust, not intelligence. Being scammed says nothing about your judgement; the scripts are professional.
Hong Kong runs on speed, and so do we: a written assessment within 24 hours, a verifiable company registration, and a Swiss legal partnership through SarahLegal.io. The ledger does not forget. Evidence beats promises.

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.

Central, Hong Kong • September 2025
"A fake platform took HK$420,000 from me. I filed a police report and heard nothing back. EthGuardians traced the flow of funds within three weeks and recovered HK$360,000. The written reports were clear, and every step was accounted for."
Mong Kok, Hong Kong • February 2026
"A pig butchering scam cost me HK$260,000. I could not bring myself to tell my family. My case manager never once blamed me. We recovered HK$210,000, 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.
File a report online through the Hong Kong Police Force's CyberDefender portal (cyberdefender.hk), or call the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre hotline on 18222. Keep transaction hashes, receiving wallet addresses, the platform URL, and all chat records, and keep your report reference number.
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. This city is our registration home.
The blockchain does not forget. Delay makes tracing harder, but the record of every transaction is still public. A free case review tells you where you stand.
