Crypto Recovery Consultation: What Questions Should You Ask First?
Important questions to ask before engaging a cryptocurrency investigation or recovery service after losing digital assets.
# Ask what evidence is needed
A legitimate investigation should explain which public transaction information is required to begin.
You should not need to provide a seed phrase or private key merely to trace a blockchain transaction.
Ask what can actually be investigated
Clarify whether the service is performing blockchain tracing, evidence analysis, exchange reporting support or another activity.
Ask about limitations
A responsible investigator should explain that tracing and recovery are different processes.
Ask what will be delivered
Possible outputs may include transaction maps, evidence summaries, timelines or forensic reports.
The exact deliverable should be explained before work begins.
Ask how sensitive information is protected
Find out how investigation records are stored and who can access them.
Be cautious with guarantees
No blockchain investigation should be presented as a guaranteed method of recovering every lost cryptocurrency transaction.
Avoid credential requests
Do not provide passwords, private keys or seed phrases to unknown investigators.
Final thoughts
Asking clear questions before an investigation can help protect both your evidence and your wallet security.
