If you cannot recover funds, you should refund the payment. Where else in America is failure paid in full and not subject to honest results? Online scammers are everywhere. Starting here.

Don was fantastic. A wonderful support system for me
Totally reliable& punctual. He was transparent & quite informative. Always kept hope alive for restitution & justice to be served.
Unfortunately, the legal team changed the course for the 2 of us in pursuit of recovering my lost life savings.
They suddenly announced that victims of organized crime & extortion would need to put funds into an escrow account to support the legal court cost.
I am a retired RN with a fixed income, and, the criminals took all my savings 2 months after I achieved my US Citizenship.

Don't hire
They can improve by giving back everyone's money. Regardless if their tracing is accurate or even real, they don't help so anything to recover your funds. Funds are usually laundered in foreign countries, so they tell you to file a local police report. Which is a complete waste of time. Nothing gets accomplished. Save your money and accept the loss.

We’re sorry to read about your disappointment. To clarify, our investigators did actively assist you, including attending a joint call with you and the police officer in charge of your case. Our role as a forensic tracing company is to provide accurate investigative reporting that can be used by law enforcement or legal counsel.
We understand how difficult it is when stolen funds are moved across borders, but recovery decisions are ultimately in the hands of law enforcement and the courts, not Data Forensics. While we operate within those limitations, we stand by the accuracy and professionalism of the tracing work delivered.

We’re sorry to hear you feel that way. Our investigations are based on blockchain forensics and OSINT methods, and in some cases the findings confirm what a client already suspects rather than revealing entirely new details. Even so, we aim to provide verifiable evidence in a structured format that can be used by law enforcement or legal counsel.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve how we communicate the scope and limitations of our services from the start

Amazing experience
Amazing experience, very professional.
The only people who did what they promised in a completely professional manner. They were able to trace all the money that was stolen from me, location, and included all the information I needed to know, to get my money back. Highly recommend, and from what I know, they are among the best in this field.

Their report seems to be complete but their willingness to assist with ongoing questions is not apparent. They were 'all in' with an attorney and used this relationship to get business. Now there are questions and they will not back up their position. It is frustrating and I must wait a month for a phone call/zoom appt.

SCAMMERS - Beware!
My father fell for a crypto scam that cost him his life savings and then these charlatans took at least 10k from him to "trace" the crypto. By the time my dad came to me it was already too late. I reported to the feds, state, and local govs and the money is all gone. This company is a scam. Their report is useless. It is just a bunch of bullshit. Unfortunately, the stress from losing all his 50-years of life savings caused my father to die unexpectedly. The original scammers and these scammers deserve all the hell and brimstone coming to them. I am left to try to pick up the pieces and take care of my mother. These people are no better than the original scammers.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your father’s experience and your loss. No one should have to go through something so painful, and our thoughts are with you and your family.
That said, we do not recognize the name “RP” in our records and have no way of identifying your case based on the information provided in this review. If you or a family member did work with us, we urge you to reach out directly to our team at support@data-forensics.de so we can properly review the situation. Please include your case number or the name and email used during the investigation.
We take every case seriously and handle each one with professionalism, thoroughness, and respect. We are not affiliated with any recovery scams and our service is clearly defined—we provide technical reports that trace stolen cryptocurrency using open-source intelligence and blockchain forensics. We always make it clear that we are not a recovery company, and we never guarantee fund recovery.
We invite you to contact us directly so we can clarify any misunderstandings and address your concerns properly.

Working with Don is a true learning experience. Don can get to information I didn't think was possible. My only complaint with Don is I wish there were 5 or 6 of him!!!
Working with Don, Leo, Rachel and Matt has been excellent. Great communicators and especially Rachel and Leo saying and then being available at any time is very comforting. Rachel has shown how to dig into basic information to get into details I didn't think was possible! And Don was able to do something on line computer-to-computer that wowed me and provided needed information I tried to get for a month!!
