Evidence to save after cryptocurrency fraud
The transaction and communication details that can make a report clearer and more useful to providers and authorities.
Transaction details provide the foundation
Blockchain transactions create records, but an investigator still needs context. Save the sending and receiving addresses, transaction hash, asset type, amount, network, date, time, and the exchange or wallet service used.
Communication explains the transaction
Save how contact began, every platform used, profile links, usernames, phone numbers, email addresses, website domains, and the instructions you received. Export complete conversations where possible rather than saving only selected screenshots.
Keep originals secure
Retain original files and create a separate working copy. Do not give anyone access credentials in order to review the evidence. A legitimate report can be prepared without your password, seed phrase, or private key.
