Police case & officer details

🔒 Not published — if OSINTrace opens this investigation, these details let your assigned analyst reach out to the officer already handling your case directly, instead of starting cold.

Police case / CAS number (optional)

This is the SAPS docket number, not an OSINTrace case ID — if you already filed a scam report on this site, select "I already filed a scam report on OSINTrace" below and you'll be asked for that reference separately.

Confirm & submit

I understand an investigation cannot guarantee identification of the perpetrator or recovery of funds. Outcomes depend on the evidence available and jurisdictional limits — we'll be upfront with you about realistic prospects during scoping.

I agree to the Terms of Service and understand a scoping call and deposit are typically required before investigative work begins.

We respond to every request within 2 business days, even if we can't take on the case.

How an investigation works

Request submitted

You tell us what happened and what you have.

Scoping call

We assess feasibility and agree scope, timeline, and cost.

Engagement & deposit

Signed agreement before investigative work starts.

Investigation conducted

OSINT tracing, on-chain analysis, evidence gathering.

Findings report

A clear written report — usable for your own records, police, or legal counsel.

⚠ What we can and can't do We investigate and document evidence — we do not guarantee recovery of lost funds, identification of a perpetrator, or any legal outcome. Some cases can't be taken further due to jurisdiction or lack of evidence, and we'll tell you that upfront rather than take a case we can't help with.
