How we help you get your money back
A clear process, honest advice at every step, and no fee unless money comes back to you.
Every transaction leaves a trail. We follow it.
Blockchains are public. Our analysts map how your funds moved and where they landed — usually a regulated exchange that can be asked, or ordered, to freeze them. Then we pursue the routes most likely to bring money back.

Four steps
1. Free case review
Tell us what happened through our secure form or by phone. A specialist looks at the amounts, dates, how the money was sent and what evidence you have — and tells you honestly whether we think we can help.
2. Investigation and tracing
Your case investigator gathers the evidence and builds your case file. Our blockchain analysts follow the funds and identify the exchanges, services or wallets involved, in a report that can be used with banks, exchanges, police and courts.
3. Recovery action
We pursue the routes that fit your case: complaints and escalations to your bank or card issuer, freeze requests to exchanges and stablecoin issuers, and coordination with police and the CAFC. Where a court order is needed, independent partner lawyers act for you.
4. Money back to you
If funds are recovered, they are returned to you through regulated channels and our agreed success fee is deducted. If nothing is recovered, you pay nothing.

Independent partner lawyers
When court action is needed, licensed Canadian lawyers act directly for you. You will always know who they are before anything is signed.
We are not a law firm — and we tell you when you need one
LastResorty is a fraud recovery company. We don't give legal advice or appear in court. Much of recovery work doesn't need either: it is investigation, evidence and persistent, well-documented complaints.
When your case does need a court order — for example to make an exchange reveal who controls an account, or to freeze assets — we introduce you to an independent Canadian lawyer we work with. The lawyer acts for you, under their own professional rules, and you'll receive their terms in writing before you decide.
How long does it take?
It depends on the case: how many transfers there were, which banks and exchanges are involved, and whether a court order is needed. We don't promise timeframes. Your case manager will update you at every step.
Frequently asked questions
Are you a law firm?
No. LastResorty is a fraud recovery company: our investigators, fraud researchers and blockchain analysts do the work of tracing funds and pursuing recovery through banks, exchanges and complaint processes. We don't give legal advice.
When a case needs court action, we work closely with independent Canadian lawyers. They act directly for you, under their own professional rules, and you will know who they are and what they charge before you sign anything.
Can you guarantee I will get my money back?
No, and nobody honest can. Whether funds can be recovered depends on where they went, whether an exchange holds them, and how quickly action is taken.
Be very careful with anyone who promises a recovery rate or a timeframe. That is one of the most common signs of a recovery scam.
What information should I have ready?
Whatever you have: transaction IDs (hashes), wallet addresses you sent to, the name and website of the platform, screenshots of chats and of the platform, exchange statements, and your police or CAFC report number.
Never send us your recovery phrase, private keys or passwords. We do not need them.
When do I need a lawyer, and who pays for them?
Many recoveries don't need one: they come from well-evidenced complaints, chargebacks and exchange freezes. A lawyer is needed when a court order is required — for example to make an exchange disclose who controls an account, or to freeze assets.
The partner lawyer is paid out of our 10% success fee, so you don't pay them separately and there is still nothing to pay upfront. Nothing happens without your written agreement.
Should I report to the police first?
Yes. Report to your local police and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) as soon as you can. A report number helps exchanges and courts take your case seriously, and you don't need anyone's help — or to pay anyone — to make it.
