If Bitcoin or Ethereum is sent to the wrong wallet address, is there a way to trace the transaction and potentially identify the recipient as a scammer?
 
While blockchain transactions are irreversible, identifying a scammer based solely on a mistaken transfer to the wrong wallet is challenging, as the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies makes tracing ownership complex without additional information or cooperation from exchanges.
 
Ah, the classic “whoops, I sent my crypto to the Bermuda Triangle of wallets!” Unfortunately, once it's gone, it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack... that’s on fire... in a tornado. You can trace it on the blockchain, but good luck knocking on the scammer’s door—odds are, they’ve moved on to their next heist!

In my experience, while blockchain transactions can be traced, identifying the recipient as a scammer is challenging without additional information, as wallet addresses are pseudonymous and don't reveal personal identities.
