Trading & Yield Schemes

Lost money to a fake crypto investment or trading scheme?

We trace the cryptocurrency you deposited, identify the recipient wallets and exchange accounts, and document the verifiable evidence.

Situation: “I sent crypto to an investment platform and cannot withdraw”
Recognizing The Pattern

What happened in this scam?

Fake investment schemes convince victims to deposit Bitcoin, Ethereum, or USDT into websites promising automated daily profits, AI trading algorithms, or guaranteed returns. When you request a withdrawal, the operators demand extra "liquidity deposits", "clearance fees", or "capital gains taxes" before disappearing.

Common Red Flags & Tactics Experienced By Victims
1Guaranteed daily returns or automated high-yield profit percentages
2Demands for additional fees or taxes before a withdrawal is processed
3Unregulated trading portals that look professional but have no corporate registration
4Coaching or pressure from an online "financial mentor" or account manager
Individual reviewing frozen account withdrawal alerts on a deceptive trading platform
Real-World Situation

When withdrawals are blocked and demands for fees begin.

Victims typically realise something is wrong when a platform demands unexpected “tax clearance fees” or “liquidity verification” before allowing withdrawals. While the dashboard numbers are simulated, where your actual cryptocurrency moved is permanently recorded on the blockchain.

Forensic Methodology

How Fundoraid investigates investment scams

We do not rely on guesses or assumptions. We reconstruct the movement of funds directly from the public blockchain ledger.

1

We identify every deposit transaction hash (TxID) and map the movement of funds from your wallet.

2

We determine whether your cryptocurrency was ever traded or if it was immediately funneled to private wallets.

3

We trace the funds across intermediate hops until they reach centralized cryptocurrency exchange deposit accounts.

4

We compile a chronological, court-ready report with wallet ownership attributions and timestamped ledger records.

On-Chain Footprint We Follow
Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT (Tron/ERC-20), USDC, Solana, and BSC transaction routes
Scammer consolidation wallets and multi-signature clusters
Centralized exchange deposit addresses (e.g., Binance, OKX, Bybit, Coinbase)

Case Review

Automated Arbitrage Platform Scheme

Funds Involved: $58,000 USDT
The Incident:

A client deposited 58,000 USDT across four months into an offshore trading platform claiming to execute high-frequency crypto arbitrage. When the balance reached $140,000, the platform demanded an advance $15,000 "tax deposit" to release the funds.

What Fundoraid Discovered:

Fundoraid proved the platform never traded the funds. Each deposit was instantly forwarded within 4 minutes to a high-volume consolidation cluster on the Tron network, with 46,000 USDT deposited into two verified accounts.

The Outcome & Next Steps:

Fundoraid identified where the scammer diverted the money and initiated direct recovery proceedings for the client.
