"Trust arrives on foot and leaves on horseback."
EthGuardians is a blockchain intelligence firm registered in Hong Kong SAR, helping crypto fraud victims across the Netherlands. 96% historical recovery rate, and you pay only if recovered funds reach you.
The Netherlands is one of the most scammed countries in Europe per capita, and the Dutch talk about it openly. Programmes like Kassa and Radar have made the boiler room a household concept: a fake trading platform, often run from a call centre abroad, showing profits that never existed. The script barely changes. Friendly adviser, rising dashboard, small successful withdrawal, then a demand for extra fees or taxes before the rest can be paid out. The AFM warns against these platforms, and DNB supervises the parties that are actually licensed. If a platform is not in their registers, that is your answer. The registers are public and free to check.
Report what happened to the Politie on 0900-8844 and to the Fraudehelpdesk, the national institution that has guided Dutch fraud victims for years. Both reports matter. They establish your status as a victim and they feed the national picture of who is behind these networks. You can also start many reports online at politie.nl, but keep the reference number either way.
If you live in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or Den Haag, here is the plain version of what we do. The blockchain records everything. Our forensic team follows your funds from wallet to wallet until they reach an exchange or an identifiable recipient. With our Swiss legal partners we then pursue freezes and court orders. You get a written assessment before we start, in normal language, and you pay only if recovered funds reach you. Cases from Utrecht, Eindhoven, and the expat corridors around them follow the same route. No promises we cannot put in writing.

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, and everywhere else in the Netherlands, in English and in Dutch.
We combine blockchain forensics, Ethereum smart contracts, and Swiss legal expertise to recover assets for victims across the Netherlands.
A structured four-step process built on blockchain forensics and legal action.
Every case is different, and recovery is never guaranteed. Here is our honest reading of the fraud types most common in the Netherlands.
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.

Amsterdam, Netherlands • March 2026
"I lost €41,300 to a trading platform that called me every week, until the day they asked for a withdrawal tax. The Politie took my report and that was it. EthGuardians traced the deposits to an exchange, and most of my funds were returned within five months."
Den Haag, Netherlands • November 2025
"A romance scam cost me €17,600 in bitcoin. I reported it to the Fraudehelpdesk and felt that was the end of it. The team documented every transaction, found the exchange the scammer used, and part of the funds was frozen and returned."
Your case assessment is free and delivered in writing. If we accept the case, our fee is agreed in writing before work begins, and it is taken only from recovered funds, after they reach you. If nothing is recovered, you pay nothing.
Never. 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.
Report to the Politie on 0900-8844 and to the Fraudehelpdesk, which supports fraud victims nationally. Check the platform against the AFM warning list, and remember that DNB registers legitimate crypto service providers. Keep your report reference: it confirms your status as a victim, and we will ask for it.
Tracing takes days to weeks. Legal action usually takes three to six months, sometimes longer depending on the platforms and countries involved. You receive a realistic written timeline after the assessment. Recovery is never guaranteed.
No. The blockchain does not forget: every transaction is still on the public ledger. Limitation periods vary and delay makes tracing harder, so file the report now and submit your case the same day.
Almost certainly not. Fake recovery firms target known victims, and paying them is the second scam. Legitimate firms do not cold-contact victims, do not ask for seed phrases or remote access, and do not charge before funds are returned. We work on a no win, no fee basis, agreed in writing first.
