"Little by little, in time it becomes a hill."
EthGuardians helps crypto scam victims in Indonesia trace and recover assets through blockchain forensics and legal action. 96% historical recovery rate across closed cases. You pay only if funds come back.
Indonesia is one of the largest crypto markets in the world. Millions of Indonesians hold digital assets, most of them on mobile phones. Bappebti regulates crypto as a commodity, while OJK supervises financial services and publishes official warnings against illegal platforms. If a platform is registered with neither, treat that as a serious red flag.
If you have been scammed, report it through patrolisiber.id, the national cyber patrol portal run by the Indonesian police, or directly to a Bareskrim cyber unit. Keep your report number. A police report establishes your formal status as a victim, and we often need that document when asking an exchange to freeze funds. A report alone is rarely enough, though: police rarely have the tooling to follow funds across blockchains and offshore exchanges.
The scam pattern we see most in Indonesia is the fake investment app: robot trading schemes and trading platforms promoted through Telegram and WhatsApp groups. Victims watch a fake balance climb on a dashboard. When they try to withdraw, the withdrawal is blocked and a "tax" or "verification fee" is demanded. Another common variant is the romance scam, where the scammer builds trust over weeks before steering the victim to a fake platform.
We serve clients in Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, Semarang, Denpasar, and across Indonesia. Communication is available in Bahasa Indonesia and English. In the spirit of gotong royong, reporting a scam protects more than yourself: it protects your family, friends, and community from the same operator. There is nothing to be ashamed of. The right move is to act on evidence.

Jakarta, Indonesia • March 2026
"I lost US$38,400 to a fake robot trading app that went viral in a Telegram group. I filed a police report and heard nothing back. The EthGuardians team traced the money flow within three weeks, and most of my assets came back."
Bandung, Indonesia • October 2025
"I was the victim of a romance scam that lasted five months. I felt too ashamed to tell anyone. They treated me with respect, reconstructed the entire transaction chain, and recovered IDR 612,000,000."
You submit your case for free. We assess the evidence and give you a written assessment. If we take your case, the fee is charged only after recovered funds actually reach your wallet. No upfront payment, no activation fee, no "tax" to release your money.
Never. We also never ask for two-factor codes, remote desktop access, or upfront payment. No legitimate recovery process needs any of these. Anyone who asks for them in our name is an impersonator.
Report through patrolisiber.id or to your nearest Bareskrim cyber unit. If the platform claimed to be licensed, report it to OJK or Bappebti as well. Prepare transaction hashes, wallet addresses, screenshots, and your full chat history. Keep the report number, because we will ask for it.
The initial assessment is done within 24 hours. On-chain tracing usually takes a few weeks. Legal action against exchanges or recipients can take months. Most successful cases close within two to six months; complex cases take longer. We do not promise deadlines we cannot control.
In many cases, yes. The blockchain is a public ledger: every transaction is recorded permanently. Our historical recovery rate is 96% across closed cases, but recovery is never guaranteed. Our free review tells you honestly whether your case is worth pursuing.
Not necessarily. The blockchain record does not disappear. What fades with time is the chance to freeze funds before they move again. Report now through patrolisiber.id, then submit your case the same day.
