What to include in the report
Transaction hashes of every transfer involved, copied exactly.Most importantIf a hash is all you have, report that. Everything else can follow.
- Wallet addresses: yours and where the funds went, with the chain named.
- Amounts, assets, dates and times for each transaction.
- How it happened: links, domains, handles, files or compromised accounts.
- Evidence: screenshots, logs and messages.
- Exchanges or platforms involved, with account identifiers.
Ask for a written copy of the report or a reference number, and send it to any exchange involved straight away.
Anyone who guarantees to recover your funds is a scammer. Legitimate incident response and analysis firms do exist, but none of them promise results, and neither they nor the police will ever ask for your seed phrases or private keys.

Go to your nearest police station and file the report in person, with the details above printed out. Ask for a written copy or a reference number.
