What should I do if I sent crypto to a scam wallet?

Stop sending funds immediately — any promise to release your money if you pay fees is another scam. Report the wallet address to the exchange where you bought crypto. File a report with Action Fraud (UK), FBI IC3 (US), or local police. Report here so others are warned. Avoid crypto recovery services — 99% are secondary scams.

Which blockchains does this wallet checker support?

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BNB Chain (BEP-20), Litecoin (LTC), XRP (Ripple), Dogecoin (DOGE), TRON (TRX), and all ERC-20 tokens including USDT, USDC, and DeFi tokens share the Ethereum address format (0x...).

Can I find out who owns a crypto wallet?

Wallets are pseudonymous — the blockchain shows transactions but not identities. However, if a scammer cashes out via a regulated exchange, law enforcement can request KYC records. Always file a police report; even if recovery is unlikely, it helps build a legal case.
