Crypto scam recovery help for clients in New Zealand. EthGuardians provides stolen crypto investigation, Bitcoin fraud recovery, cryptocurrency tracing, and blockchain forensic analysis. Recovery is not guaranteed. We help individuals and organisations trace digital asset movements, analyse on-chain activity, and develop evidence-based investigative leads to support potential recovery efforts.
Our investigation process combines blockchain transaction analysis, wallet relationship mapping, and investigator review to identify potential fund movements and investigative leads. Outcomes depend on the circumstances of each case.
Cryptocurrency fraud is evolving faster than traditional law enforcement can respond. Scammers exploit New Zealand's open financial system, targeting investors, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens through fake trading platforms, romance scams, and phishing campaigns.
If you've lost cryptocurrency to fraud, scams, or theft, the EthGuardians team can help. Whether you lost funds to a fake cryptocurrency exchange, romance scam, smart contract exploit, or unauthorized wallet transfer, we trace digital asset movements and develop evidence-based investigative leads to support potential recovery efforts.
We support clients in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, Dunedin, and beyond. We coordinate with external legal professionals where appropriate. Any legal representation is subject to confirmation of the relevant lawyer's qualifications, jurisdiction, engagement terms, and authority to act in the specific case.
Submit your case. We aim to acknowledge new case submissions within one business day. The time required for an initial assessment depends on the information provided and the complexity of the case.
We trace assets across wallets and exchanges. Our investigation process combines blockchain transaction analysis, wallet relationship mapping, and investigator review, with findings assessed against available on-chain evidence.
We coordinate with external legal professionals where appropriate. Any legal representation is subject to confirmation of the relevant lawyer's qualifications, jurisdiction, engagement terms, and authority to act in the specific case.

It depends on the case. Tracing usually takes weeks, and cases that reach court action can take months. Before you decide anything, we give you an honest outlook in writing.
Often, yes. Our analysis identifies transaction patterns, exchange signatures, and wallet behaviours to help determine where funds went. Even if you don't remember the platform name, on-chain records can provide a starting point, subject to the evidence available in your case.
We operate on a success-based fee basis. No upfront payment is required; the agreed percentage and payment conditions are specified in writing before work begins, and fees apply only where funds are actually recovered.
