"Patience is the key to relief."
EthGuardians is a blockchain intelligence firm registered in Hong Kong SAR. We help victims of crypto fraud in Iraq trace stolen funds and pursue recovery through legal channels. We speak plainly about process and fees from the first message. 96% historical recovery rate across closed cases. No win, no fee.
Let us be clear from the start. The Central Bank of Iraq has prohibited the use of cryptocurrencies since 2017, so our work in Iraq is one thing only: helping fraud victims. We do not give trading or investment advice, and we do not help anyone buy crypto. We help people who lost money to a scammer trace it and recover it through legal channels.
The official reporting channel is the cybercrime directorates of the Ministry of Interior. File your report and keep a copy of it with the reference number. This establishes your status as a victim and opens the official record. Before you file, gather what you can: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, the platform or group URL, and every chat record, including the embarrassing parts.
The most common pattern reaching us from Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, and Mosul is the Telegram or Facebook group promising daily dollar profits from USDT trading. You deposit into a fake platform, you see profits on screen, and when you ask to withdraw they demand a tax or a release fee. That demand is the certain mark of the fraud. Anyone who asks you for more money to release your own money is a scammer, full stop.
We know Iraqis have heard many promises that never came true, so we do not ask for your trust with words. We ask for it with evidence: a written assessment of your case before you commit to anything, a verifiable company registration in Hong Kong SAR under AI Data Intelligence, a Swiss legal partnership through SarahLegal.io, and a clear fee model: you pay nothing until recovered funds reach you.
The cybercrime directorates take reports. Keep a copy of your report and its number.
It has prohibited crypto use since 2017. Our work is fraud-victim assistance only, not trading or investment.
Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, and Mosul most often, and the process is fully online.
Transaction hashes, wallet addresses, platform URLs, and chat records.
We combine blockchain forensics, Ethereum smart contract technology, and Swiss legal expertise to trace, freeze, and recover digital assets lost to any type of fraud.
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.

Baghdad, Iraq • April 2025
"I sent $21,000 to a fake USDT platform I found through a Telegram group. They told me plainly from day one what could be done and what could not. After three months, $18,400 came back."
Basra, Iraq • December 2025
"A romance scam cost me $9,700 over months. I told nobody in my family. They handled my case with complete confidentiality and never asked me one embarrassing question. We recovered $7,900."
You pay nothing when you engage us. We agree on a percentage in writing before work begins, and it comes out of recovered funds after they reach your wallet. If we do not recover anything, you owe nothing. That is all, no hidden fees.
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 with the cybercrime directorates of the Ministry of Interior. Keep transaction hashes, wallet addresses, the platform or group URL, and all chat records. A copy of the report and its number matter for your case.
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.
Four things: no upfront fees, no requests for seed phrases, a written assessment before you commit, and a verifiable company registration. EthGuardians is registered in Hong Kong SAR under AI Data Intelligence.
Yes. The Central Bank of Iraq has prohibited crypto use since 2017, which is why our work is fraud-victim assistance only: documenting the crime, tracing the funds, and legal action. We do not provide trading or investment services to anyone.
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.
