USDT Freeze Request

If your USDT was stolen, there may still be time to freeze it. This tool helps you create a professional freeze request to submit to Tether's compliance team.

Start Your Request

Time is Critical

Tether can freeze USDT on-chain, but only if they receive a valid request quickly. The sooner you submit, the better your chances.

Réponse rapide

Quick answer: if the stolen asset was USDT and the scammer wallet still holds a freezeable balance, you should push the Tether request, the official agency report, and the on-chain trace at the same time. Waiting only shrinks the freeze window.

Confirm the chain, scammer wallet, and transaction hashes first
Do not wait for the police report number before sending the first Tether email
Contact police, exchanges, and any likely receiving platforms in parallel

A Freeze Is Only One Step

While Filing with Tether, Keep the Trace, Agency Report, and Platform Evidence Moving

The freeze request should go out quickly, but the email alone is not enough. You still need the on-chain evidence, the official report, and the likely cash-out platform path.

Fund Tracing

Trace the Downstream Wallets and Exchanges

Extend the case with downstream wallets, transaction hashes, and likely exchange off-ramps.

Formal Report

File the Matching Crypto Scam Report

Use the structured crypto reporting path so the same package can be reused with police, exchanges, and compliance teams.

Official Agencies

Add the Agency Record

Add the IC3, Action Fraud, FTC, or local police record alongside the Tether request.

Already Affected

Move Into the Victim Action Plan

If you still need to rotate credentials, contact exchanges, or preserve evidence, use the action plan to prioritize the response.

A Tether freeze request solves only part of the problem. Many cases still involve ongoing pressure for extra deposits, signatures, transfers, or account logins.

Tracer les fonds d'abord

Au-delà de la demande de gel, cartographiez d'abord le parcours des fonds

Whether Tether freezes is one track. Where the funds ultimately move is another. Both should run in parallel.

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 alone, working with law enforcement agencies worldwide. However, they require a formal request with specific information.

This tool generates a properly formatted freeze request document that you can submit directly to Tether's compliance team via email. It includes all the details Tether needs to act quickly.

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. They work with law enforcement agencies globally. However, they prioritize requests that come with a police report or court order.
How quickly should I submit?
As fast as possible — ideally within 24 hours of the theft. Every minute matters because the scammer may be moving funds to exchanges or converting to other cryptocurrencies. Submit your request immediately, even before your police report is ready.
Do I need a police report?
A police report significantly strengthens your request. However, do not wait for it — submit your freeze request to Tether immediately, then follow up with the police report number once you have it. You can file a police report online in most countries.
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.
