    Common Incidents

    Named after the unsettling practice of fattening a pig before slaughter, pig-butchering scams are among the most deceptive and damaging forms of cryptocurrency fraud today. Scammers gradually gain their victims' trust by posing as friendly advisors or potential romantic partners, only to manipulate them into investing substantial amounts in fraudulent crypto schemes. These fraudsters are skilled at fostering a false sense of security, persuading victims to invest increasingly large sums, and vanishing without a trace once they've secured the funds. At HashHunt, we are dedicated to combating these sophisticated scams and assisting both victims and law enforcement in overcoming the forensic and procedural hurdles these crimes present.

    Compromised cryptocurrency wallets present a serious risk in the digital asset space, threatening the security and integrity of users' funds. These breaches occur when unauthorized individuals gain access to private keys or mnemonic phrases, allowing them to unlawfully transfer assets. Such incidents can arise from phishing scams, malware infections, wallet software vulnerabilities, or even the physical theft of credentials. Addressing each type of compromise demands a tailored approach for both prevention and response. Our investigative experts specialize in conducting in-depth forensic analyses to trace unauthorized transactions and uncover the methods used by attackers.

    As the digital asset market continues to expand, cryptocurrency investment scams have become increasingly prevalent, posing serious risks to investors worldwide. These fraudulent schemes often lure victims with promises of high returns and minimal risk. Common tactics include Ponzi schemes, fraudulent ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings), and pump-and-dump schemes, where scammers manipulate a cryptocurrency's value before selling off their holdings, leaving investors with substantial losses.

    Romance scams are a distressing form of deception that prey on the innate human desire for love and companionship, often turning the pursuit of genuine connection into a devastating financial and emotional ordeal. With the rise of cryptocurrencies, scammers have found a new avenue to exploit victims, taking advantage of the anonymity and unregulated nature of digital transactions. These schemes typically involve expressions of love and trust, followed by requests for money or cryptocurrency under false pretenses, such as medical emergencies, travel costs, or bogus investment opportunities.

    At HashHunt, we tackle these emotionally charged scams head-on, utilizing our expertise in blockchain and cryptocurrency forensics to trace stolen funds and identify perpetrators hidden behind anonymous digital profiles.
