How wallet checks help
Investment romance ("pig butchering") and fake recovery ops commonly share deposit addresses across victims until those addresses appear in public reports. Checking the string is a 10-second friction step before an irreversible transfer.
- Copy the address carefully (watch look-alike characters).
- Run the check on this page.
- If indexed, do not send funds — document and report.
- If not indexed, still verify the person offline; never send crypto to someone you only met online.
