Your crypto was stolen. Here is what you can actually do.

2:06 · Scam and theft victims

A complete walkthrough of the theft case flow: document what happened, trace where the funds went, watch the thief's wallet for movement, and build an evidence packet for law enforcement and the receiving exchange.

Before anything else, one honest sentence: no tool can reverse a blockchain transaction. What you can do is build evidence, fast, and get it to the people who can act. That takes about five minutes. Let me show you.

From the WalletDNA home page, click "I was scammed". That opens the theft case flow. It is free to start.

Notice the site says the same thing I just did. That is on purpose.

Step one, say what happened in your own words. This text becomes the incident narrative in your evidence packet, so plain language is perfect. How you were contacted, what you were told, how the funds left.

Step two, the address your funds went to. Open your wallet's history, find the outgoing transfer, copy the receiving address. You can add up to three.

Step three, the details for the record. The transaction hashes pin the theft to exact on-chain events. Then start the case.

Watch what happens. WalletDNA creates the case, traces the address across the blockchain, and puts it under monitoring. Every step reports its own result. If something cannot complete, it says so instead of pretending.

This is your case. "Where your money went" shows the top destinations in plain language.

The thief's wallet is now checked every hour. The moment stolen funds move toward an exchange is the only window where freezing is realistic, and you will get an email within the hour when it happens.

And the evidence packet: your account of events, the theft transactions, every trace with links an investigator can verify independently, and a one-page diagram of where the money went. This is what you attach to your IC3 report and send to the exchange's compliance team.

The case page ends with the checklist: file with law enforcement at ic3.gov, write to the exchange, preserve everything. That is the whole process. It will not undo the theft. It gives you the best real chance anyone can honestly offer.
