Fraud recovery for Vancouver victims of crypto and investment scams
Confidential remote intake. On-chain tracing, exchange engagement, and evidence packages for BC law enforcement and securities regulators.
Vancouver and the Lower Mainland see some of the highest per-capita crypto fraud losses in Canada. The region's tech sector and large Pacific-Rim diaspora are heavy targets for WeChat- and WhatsApp-based investment scams, fake mining-pool platforms, and pig-butchering schemes. CrimeJustice helps Vancouver victims trace stolen funds, engage exchanges with BC presence, and prepare reports for the RCMP, Vancouver Police Department, and BC Securities Commission.

Common scams reported by Vancouver residents
WeChat and WhatsApp investment groups
Mandarin- and Cantonese-language 'mentor' groups that funnel members into fake trading apps. Vancouver is consistently the top Canadian target for this scam pattern.
Fake mining-pool and DeFi platforms
Sites that show fabricated 'yield' dashboards in MetaMask. Victims sign malicious approvals that drain their wallets weeks later.
Real-estate deposit fraud
Vancouver's high-value closings attract email-compromise attacks targeting buyer–notary communication. Recovery hinges on bank-to-bank action within 72 hours.
Romance scams via dating apps
Long-running romance scams that transition into 'we should invest together' crypto pitches — typically pointing victims to fake Hong Kong or Singapore exchanges.
