Crypto recovery in Canada: a careful review before you spend another dollar
Canadians who work with their hands put it plainly: measure twice, cut once. A cut cannot be undone, and neither can a transfer on a blockchain. If you have just lost cryptocurrency, the decision in front of you matters more than the one behind you.
RVK Recovery is a cryptocurrency recovery practice serving clients across Canada. It reviews fraud and theft, lost wallet access, exchange lockouts, and estates that include digital assets, starting from a written account of what happened, not from your wallet.
Three things hold from the first contact:
- The practice never asks for seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, or remote access to your computer.
- The fee is 12.5%, paid only after recovered funds reach your own bank account.
- The first review is confidential, in writing, and carries no obligation.
First steps after a loss in Canada
Stop contact, and do not send more money, whatever the reason given. Preserve the record: emails, chat logs, platform web addresses, transaction identifiers, and bank or exchange statements. Tell your bank at once.
Report the fraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre through the national Report Cybercrime and Fraud portal, and to your local police. Keep the report numbers; they document that you are the victim of this specific loss, which matters later.
Expect a second approach. Within days, someone may offer recovery for an upfront fee, a seed phrase "for verification", a guaranteed result, or immediate remote access. That is a second scam, the most common one in this field.
What the practice reviews for Canadian clients
Most Canadian files involve fake investment platforms and long romance or messaging relationships that end on a fabricated trading screen. The practice also reviews phishing and impersonation, SIM swap, ransomware payments, and fake recovery services. Several of these brands can belong to one organiser already before a court; checking whether an open case already exists is free and needs no wallet credentials.
Not every file is a scam. The practice reviews lost access (a forgotten exchange password, a lost two-factor device, a hardware wallet with an incomplete backup), lockouts at genuine exchanges as documented disputes, and estates where a deceased person held cryptocurrency and the records are thin.
The picture in Canada
Most reports come from Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary, and the approach is the same everywhere: a polished advert, a patient conversation, a platform that shows profits until withdrawal day. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre received more than 100,000 fraud reports in 2024, and it estimates that the great majority of fraud is never reported at all.
Provincial securities regulators, including the Ontario Securities Commission and Quebec's Autorité des marchés financiers, publish warnings about unregistered crypto platforms; check them before any further payment.
Fees, security, and who the practice can act for
The fee is no win, no fee: 12.5%, and only after recovered funds are deposited into your own bank account. No retainer, no hourly rate, no cryptocurrency payment to open a file, no charge for the first review. If there is no recovery through the practice's efforts, nothing is owed.
The practice never asks for seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, two-factor codes, or remote desktop access of any kind, and never asks you to move remaining coins as a verification step. Anyone who asks in the practice's name is an impersonator. Open rvkrecovery.com yourself; do not follow links in unexpected email.
Clients who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States, Germany, Italy, or France cannot be accepted; every other country can be considered. Each file is judged on the applicable law, the counterparty's location, the evidence, any existing court action, and whether enforcement is practical. Recovery is not guaranteed; where there is no practical path, the practice says so in writing.
FAQ
How do I report a crypto scam in Canada?
Report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre through the Report Cybercrime and Fraud portal, and to your local police. Tell your bank, and keep every report number.
Can stolen cryptocurrency be recovered?
Sometimes, where funds can be traced to an exchange or an identifiable entity, the evidence is usable, and a court can act. Many cases have no practical path, and the practice will say so in writing.
What does a no win, no fee crypto lawyer cost in Canada?
Nothing at the start. The fee is 12.5% of recovered funds, due only after the money reaches your bank account.
Will anyone from the practice ask for my seed phrase or remote access?
Never. A person who asks for a seed phrase, a private key, a password, a two-factor code, or remote desktop access is not RVK Recovery, whatever name they use.
A recovery agent contacted me first. Should I answer?
Treat unsolicited recovery offers as a second scam. Do not pay, do not send wallet credentials, and keep the messages as evidence.
Which countries are excluded?
Citizens and permanent residents of the United States, Germany, Italy, and France cannot be accepted. Every other country, including Canada, can be considered.
Ask for a confidential review
A review starts with six answers: full name, email, country and telephone, amount lost in US dollars, type of case, and a short account of what happened, up to 5,000 characters. No identity documents and no wallet credentials are needed. A specialist replies in writing within business days; if the practice cannot help, you will hear that plainly, and you will owe nothing.
