Global Crypto Fraud Recovery Services Emphasize Victim‑Focused Forensics
Crypto‑related scams have surged, with the FBI recording over 181,000 complaints and more than $11 billion in losses in 2025, while Chainalysis estimates global scam losses at roughly $17 billion. Victims often turn to specialized recovery firms such as Broker Complaint Alert, which assist with complaint filing and investigations but cannot guarantee fund restitution. Authorities advise caution, stressing verification of any recovery service and warning against upfront fees.
A parallel guide ranks the top seven blockchain forensic investigation providers for 2026. Lionsgate Intelligence Network leads with victim‑focused investigations and detailed forensic reports, followed by industry players like Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic, Crystal Intelligence, Merkle Science and CipherBlade Advisory. These firms help trace transactions, compile evidence for law enforcement and legal actions, and support compliance teams, though most prioritize analysis over direct recovery guarantees.
