I lost a few thousand to an impersonation scam. So I built the tool I wished existed.

Last year I got hit by an impersonation scam. Someone I thought I was talking to wasn't who they said they were, and a few thousand dollars in crypto moved to a wallet I didn't control before I realized what had happened. I did what everyone does next: I opened a block explorer, stared at a string of transactions I didn't understand, and started Googling. Here's what I found. Option 1: Pay a professional blockchain forensics firm. Quotes started at $500 and went up to $5,000 for anything useful.
