Lawful intake, evidence-first research, and transparent service delivery
GhostTrace LLC is a Georgia-registered private research and cybersecurity firm. Our work is strictly limited to publicly available information, documentation, and advisory support. We do not arrest, subpoena, or recover funds directly.
Step 1: Intake
We begin with a short intake call or written brief to understand the incident, identify the timeline, and collect any evidence you already have. This keeps scope focused and ensures we preserve the right data from the start.
Free 15-minute call or secure written intake
We ask for dates, channels, transaction details, and copies of messages
No pressure to commit before we confirm whether we can help
Step 2: Lawful research
I use only public sources, open data, and the records you provide about your own situation. I organize domains, infrastructure, and the identifiers you supply into a defensible record for banks, platforms, and authorities.
Open-source research only, no unauthorized access
Every finding is sourced, timestamped, and reproducible
We avoid methods that exceed our role as a lawful research firm
Step 3: Report delivery
We deliver a clear report that summarizes the incident, the evidence collected, and the next steps your bank, platform, or law enforcement should take.
Executive summary with a timeline
Evidence appendix with links, screenshots, and indicators
Practical guidance for dispute, takedown, and reporting

GhostTrace does not make legal decisions, issue subpoenas, recover funds, or act as law enforcement. We provide documentation and response support only.
We do not promise or guarantee recovery of money
We do not access private accounts without authorization
We do not take enforcement action or make arrests
Pricing and transparency
We quote every engagement up front. One-time packages start at $119.2, and rush delivery, complex requests, or multi-incident research are priced after intake. There are no hidden fees, and we will tell you what is included before you commit.
