USDT Freeze Request

If your USDT was stolen, freezing it may still be possible — but Tether only acts on requests from law enforcement, not on victim emails alone. This tool builds a complete evidence document you give to the police / FBI IC3, who can ask Tether to freeze the funds. Speed matters: report immediately.

Build Your Evidence Document

Time is Critical

Tether can freeze USDT on-chain, but it acts on requests from law enforcement, not on victim emails alone. Report to the police / FBI IC3 right away — the sooner an agency engages Tether, the better the chance the funds are still freezeable.

How Tether Freezing Works

Tether (the company behind USDT) has the technical ability to freeze USDT held at any address on Ethereum, Tron, and other supported chains. When Tether freezes an address, the USDT becomes immovable — the scammer cannot transfer or cash out the funds.

Tether froze over $225 million in 2023 and $61 million in early 2026 — in both cases acting on formal requests from law enforcement (the U.S. Department of Justice and international agencies), not on victim emails. Tether requires a valid law-enforcement or judicial request before freezing an address.

This tool generates a properly formatted evidence document. Your fastest, most effective path is to file a report with the police / FBI IC3 and give them this document — law enforcement is the channel Tether acts on. You may also email it to Tether to support their review, but a victim email alone is rarely enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tether actually freeze funds?
Yes — Tether has frozen hundreds of millions of dollars in USDT linked to scams, hacks, and sanctions violations. But it acts on requests from law enforcement or courts, not on victim emails alone. Your job is to get a police / FBI IC3 report filed fast so an agency can make that request; this document gives them everything they need.
How quickly should I act?
As fast as possible — ideally within hours. Scammers move stolen USDT to exchanges quickly. File your police / FBI IC3 report immediately and hand over this document so an agency can engage Tether without delay.
Do I need a police report?
Yes — a law-enforcement report is the key step, because Tether acts on law-enforcement requests, not victim emails. File with your local police and (in the US) FBI IC3 at ic3.gov as your first action, and use this document to make that filing fast and complete. You can also send the document to Tether in parallel, but on its own a victim email is rarely acted on.
What if the USDT was swapped to another token?
Tether can only freeze USDT tokens. If the scammer already converted your USDT to ETH, BTC, or another token, Tether cannot help. However, if some USDT remains at the scammer's address, that portion can still be frozen. Check the address on a blockchain explorer.
Is this service free?
Yes, this tool is completely free. ScamLens provides this as a public service to help scam victims. We do not charge any fees and do not collect your funds.
What chains are supported?
Tether can freeze USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), Avalanche, Solana, and other chains where they have admin authority over the USDT contract. Ethereum and Tron are the most common.

ScamLens generates this document as a free convenience tool. We cannot guarantee that Tether or law enforcement will act on any specific request. This is not legal advice. For best results, file a police report / FBI IC3 report — that is the channel Tether acts on — and consult a lawyer who specializes in cryptocurrency fraud recovery.
