The Hague, Netherlands, April 15, 2025. CyberClaims, an international cybercrime investigation and asset recovery firm, has successfully recovered €90,000 lost in a fraudulent cryptocurrency employment scheme. This recovery highlights CyberClaims’ capabilities in blockchain forensics and reinforces its prominent role in financial cybercrime investigations.
The incident involved a European professional deceived by fraudsters impersonating legitimate recruiters. The victim was tricked into depositing €90,000 into a fake cryptocurrency investment platform as part of alleged job-related training tasks. After transferring the funds, the perpetrators disappeared, leaving significant financial losses.
CyberClaims initiated a detailed forensic investigation using blockchain tracing techniques, tracking stolen funds through numerous transactions. Collaborating with regulated cryptocurrency platforms, CyberClaims filed structured disputes, resulting in the successful recovery of the assets.
Highlights of CyberClaims’ Investigation:
