No recovery is ever guaranteed
Tracing and recovery are investigative and legal processes, not a product that can be promised to deliver a fixed result.
Whether traced funds can ultimately be recovered depends entirely on the specifics of your case — including how the funds moved, where they came to rest, the cooperation of exchanges and banks, the applicable laws, and the speed of reporting. Some cases produce strong, actionable evidence and a realistic path to recovery; others do not, however well they are worked.
We do not guarantee recovery
AssetTrace does not and cannot guarantee that any funds will be recovered, in whole or in part. Any work we describe is investigative and evidentiary in nature; outcomes are never assured.
- Results depend on factors outside our control, including third-party and authority decisions.
- Past results, case studies, or examples are not a prediction of your outcome.
- Tracing produces evidence; it does not by itself return funds.
- Reporting quickly improves your options but never assures a recovery.
The real risk of re-victimisation
People who have already been defrauded are deliberately targeted a second time by "recovery-room" and advance-fee scams. This is one of the most common ways victims lose even more.
Recovery-room scams impersonate regulators, law firms, investigators, or recovery agents. They often contact victims first, claim they can get the lost money back, and then demand an upfront payment, a "tax", or a "release" or "unlock" fee before anything will supposedly happen. No recovery follows — only further loss.
What AssetTrace will NEVER do
We will never ask you for upfront payment in crypto, gift cards, or vouchers; never ask for a "release", "unlock", or "tax" payment to free your funds; never ask for your private keys or seed phrase; and never pressure you, rush you, or tell you to keep the matter secret from your bank, your family, or the police.
- Treat any unsolicited "we can recover your money" contact as a red flag.
- No legitimate party needs your seed phrase or private keys to investigate a loss.
- Demands for an upfront crypto, gift-card, or voucher payment are a hallmark of fraud.
- Pressure, urgency, and demands for secrecy are tactics used to isolate victims — walk away.
Anyone guaranteeing recovery is misleading you
If anyone — including anyone using the AssetTrace name — guarantees that they will recover your funds, they are misleading you. A guaranteed recovery is not something any honest tracing or recovery party can offer.
Genuine practitioners describe what they can investigate and the realistic paths available; they do not promise a fixed result. Treat a guarantee as a reason to stop and verify, not as reassurance.
What AssetTrace is — and is not
Understanding our legal status helps you set realistic expectations and spot impersonation.
AssetTrace is a trading brand operated through ForFarmers Nederland BV (Netherlands), with payments processed by Real Transfer Limited (United Kingdom). The brand itself is not an incorporated company; services are delivered through these registered entities.

A register listing confirms only the status of that specific entity in that specific register — a payment institution, an exempt payment service provider, or a data-portal listing. It does not mean the AssetTrace recovery service is licensed, regulated, or authorised. If anything you are shown contradicts these official records, do not proceed.
