Crypto scam recovery Canada — fake exchanges, rug pulls, and wallet drains

Counterfeit exchanges, rug pulls, and 'guaranteed' coin schemes that empty wallets leave victims feeling helpless. We help Canadians organize wallet data and assess whether recovery paths still exist.

  • ✓Wallet addresses and transaction hashes reviewed
  • ✓Exchange and mixer trails analyzed where data allows
  • ✓Clear expectations before any paid engagement

Crypto fraud ranges from fake trading apps to DeFi sites that approve malicious contracts. Victims often send multiple transfers before realizing the platform is controlled by scammers.

Collect transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and any chat with 'support' or 'mentors.' Even partial records help us understand where assets moved.

Recovery guide

Practical steps for Canadians — not legal advice. Outcomes vary; see our disclaimer.

What counts as a crypto scam in Canada

Crypto scam recovery in Canada usually involves fake exchanges, pig-butchering investment sites, phishing that drains self-custody wallets, or rug pulls on new tokens. Scammers often mix social engineering with real on-chain transfers so victims believe the platform is legitimate until withdrawals are blocked.

If you are searching for crypto scam recovery Canada, the first step is preserving transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and every URL or app name. Canadian banks and exchanges cannot reverse blockchain transfers by themselves — recovery depends on where assets went next and how quickly third parties can act.

What to save before contacting anyone

Export chat logs with anyone who coached your deposits. Screenshot account dashboards, deposit addresses, and withdrawal error messages. Download CSV statements from your bank, credit card, or Canadian crypto exchange.

Never reinstall your phone or wipe browsers until evidence is backed up. If you used a hardware wallet, record derivation paths only with professional help — do not share seed phrases with unsolicited 'recovery agents.'

How Kingkay approaches tracing

We collect evidence and digital footprints to conduct forensic analysis in order to determine the final destination of your assets. That may include clustering addresses, identifying exchange deposit endpoints, and preparing material you can use with law enforcement or legal counsel.

We are reporting to entitled regulatory entities to initiate legal actions when your file supports it. Outcomes vary by timing, jurisdiction, and cooperation of payment rails — we explain limits clearly before any paid engagement.

Reporting in Canada (parallel path)

File a report with your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. Keep report numbers — they help when contacting exchanges or banks.

KINGKAY RECOVERY CORP. is a private intake service, not the RCMP or a regulator. We complement official reporting; we do not replace it.
