Crypto recovery in Singapore: a documented process, no upfront fees
A saying heard across Singapore puts it precisely: 小心驶得万年船. With careful steering, a ship sails ten thousand years. Care is what the fake platform took from you, and what the next step requires.
RVK Recovery is a cryptocurrency recovery practice serving clients in Singapore, reviewing lost access and wallet matters, crypto fraud and theft, exchange lockouts, estate succession, and commercial disputes involving digital assets. Three facts sit at the front:
- The practice never asks for seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, two-factor codes, or remote access to your devices.
- The fee is 12.5%, paid only after recovered funds are deposited in your own bank account. No recovery through the practice's efforts, nothing owed.
- A confidential review starts in writing, with no obligation to proceed.
First steps: report a crypto scam through the proper channels
Stop all further transfers: no supposed tax, verification fee, or release charge. Preserve the evidence: transaction IDs, wallet addresses, bank records, platform screenshots, and the full chat history with the scammer's numbers and account details.
File a police report online through the Singapore Police Force e-service or at a Neighbourhood Police Centre, share information through I-Witness, and check suspicious offers with the 24/7 ScamShield helpline on 1799. Before dealing with any investment entity, check the MAS Investor Alert List and Financial Institutions Directory. These channels are listed for your information, not as partners.
Treat any unsolicited recovery offer as a second scam; victims are often contacted again within days. An upfront fee, a seed phrase "for verification", a guaranteed result, or a request for remote access settles the question.
What the practice reviews
Police figures place investment, government official impersonation, and job scams among the costliest categories; cryptocurrency accounts for about a fifth of all scam losses. The practice reviews:
- Fake investment platforms and trading dashboards pitched through WhatsApp and Telegram
- Government official and bank impersonation ending in a crypto transfer
- Pig butchering and romance scams
- Phishing, SIM swap, and account takeover
- Lost access: forgotten passwords, lost two-factor devices, damaged hardware wallets, incomplete seed records
- Lockouts and frozen balances at genuine exchanges
- Estates holding cryptocurrency, plus commercial disputes, crypto loans, and stablecoins
Several fake platforms can belong to one organiser already before a court; checking whether an open case already exists is free and needs no wallet credentials.
The Singapore picture
Files arrive from across the island: the CBD, Tampines, Woodlands, Jurong, Bedok. Police recorded 37,308 scam cases in 2025 with S$913.1 million in losses, while government official impersonation scams more than doubled to 3,363 cases, many with criminals posing as SPF, ICA, and MAS officers. The typical file is numerate and well documented: a professional who verified the platform's registration claims, tested a small withdrawal, and committed serious funds after the dashboard performed. That diligence was real; the platform was not.
Fees, security, and jurisdiction: no win, no fee
The fee is 12.5% of recovered funds, due only after those funds are in your bank account. No retainer, no hourly rate, no cryptocurrency payment to open a file, no charge for a review. If there is no recovery through the practice's efforts, nothing is owed.
RVK Recovery never asks for seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, two-factor codes, or remote desktop access, and never asks you to move remaining coins as a verification step. Anyone who asks for these things in the practice's name is an impersonator.
Recovery is not guaranteed, and the practice does not publish success rates. Some matters have no practical path. If yours is one of them, you will be told so in writing.
The practice does not accept clients who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States, Germany, Italy, or France. Every other country, including Singapore, can be considered. Each file is judged on the applicable law, where the counterparty is, the evidence, any existing court action, and whether enforcement is practical.
There is no phone number and no live chat; the only published address is the UK registered office shown in the footer, which receives no client visits. Everything material is in writing, so there is a record.
FAQ
How do I report a crypto scam in Singapore?
File a police report online through the SPF e-service or at a Neighbourhood Police Centre, and contact your bank immediately.
How do I check if an investment platform is regulated in Singapore?
Search the MAS Financial Institutions Directory for the licence and the MAS Investor Alert List for unregulated entities. Absence from the Alert List is not proof of legitimacy.
Can stolen cryptocurrency be recovered?
Sometimes. It depends on whether funds can be traced to an exchange or an identifiable entity, the evidence, jurisdiction, and timing. No honest practice guarantees an outcome.
Will you ask for my seed phrase or remote access?
Never. Seed phrases, private keys, passwords, two-factor codes, and remote desktop access are not part of the method. Anyone who asks is attempting theft.
A quiet next step
A confidential review starts with six answers: your full name, email, country and telephone, the amount lost in USD, the type of case, and a short account of what happened, up to 5,000 characters. No identity documents are needed for this first check. A specialist replies in writing within business days. If your matter has no practical path, you will be told plainly.
