Warning: people who promise to get your crypto back for a fee are almost always scammers. Check a recovery service

Binance

The largest crypto exchange by trading volume. It runs identity checks and has a dedicated channel for police requests.

Why it matters for scam victims

Because Binance is so large, stolen funds often pass through it. Binance checks its customers' identity (KYC), so it can freeze an account and share records with police.

How to ask Binance for a freeze

  1. Find the Binance deposit address and transaction hash in your trace.
  2. Contact Binance Support with the trail and your police report.
  3. Ask the police to send an official request through Binance's law enforcement system.
