"Trust, but verify."
EthGuardians is a blockchain intelligence firm registered in Hong Kong SAR. We help victims of crypto fraud in Russia trace stolen assets and pursue recovery through legal channels. 96% historical recovery rate across closed cases. No win, no fee.
The Central Bank of Russia runs an extensive fraud-warning practice. It publishes a public list of companies showing signs of illegal activity: fake brokers, pyramid schemes, unlicensed forex dealers, and crypto platforms. If the platform that solicited you appears on that list, the fact matters for your case. The Central Bank also warns regularly about phone schemes in which the caller poses as a bank security officer.
The official report goes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD). Cybercrime is handled by Directorate K, the unit for crimes in information technology. You can file through the online reception at мвд.рф or in person at any police station, regardless of where you live. Keep the registration number of your complaint: it establishes your status as a victim and starts the official record. Attach transaction hashes, wallet addresses, the platform URL, and every chat log.
One scheme dominates reports from Moscow, St Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and Kazan: a Telegram investment channel promises steady returns and leads subscribers to a fake exchange. The balance on screen is fabricated. When you try to withdraw, they demand a tax or an unlocking fee. That demand is the signature of the fraud: no legitimate exchange charges a prepayment to release your own funds. Romance scams form a second category, where trust is built over months before the victim is guided into joint investments.
Many victims stay silent out of embarrassment. Silence serves the scammer. The blockchain keeps every transaction, and the trail does not fade with time. We work with evidence: a written assessment before work begins, a company registration in Hong Kong SAR under AI Data Intelligence, and a Swiss legal partnership through SarahLegal.io. Nothing that cannot be checked.

Maintains a list of companies with signs of illegal activity and publishes fraud warnings.
A Telegram investment channel leads to a fake exchange. A demand for a tax before withdrawal is the tell.
Moscow, St Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Kazan. The process is fully online, so your city does not matter.
We combine blockchain forensics, Ethereum smart contracts, and Swiss legal expertise to trace, freeze, and recover assets in any type of fraud.
A structured four-step process: blockchain forensics plus legal action.
We cannot promise recovery. We can honestly state the general tendency for each type. The following are general assessments; an individual case depends on diagnosis.
The victim of one scam is often pursued by fake rescuers. We never ask for seed phrases, private keys, two-factor codes, remote access to your device, or any upfront payment. Anyone who asks for these in our name is an impersonator.
The following testimonials represent verified client experiences. Names are reduced to initials to protect client privacy.
Moscow • April 2025
"A fake broker persuaded me to convert 3,800,000 RUB into USDT. The police accepted my report, but the case stalled. EthGuardians traced the chain to an exchange within a month, and after four months I recovered 3,100,000 RUB. Every promise they made was in writing."
St Petersburg • October 2025
"A Telegram investment channel took $26,000 from me. I was too ashamed to tell even my family. They listened without a word of blame and recovered $21,500."
You pay nothing at the start. Our fee, fixed in writing before work begins, is deducted from recovered funds after they reach your wallet. If we do not recover anything, you owe nothing.
