How to find out in 10 seconds whether a USDT address is clean: Tether blacklist, sanctions, scams, look-alikes and where the money really came from.
“AML check” sounds like a bank service, but with USDT TRC-20 anyone who accepts transfers needs it: exchangers, P2P sellers, freelancers, shops. The reason is simple: Tether does not freeze the thief, it freezes the address where the money sits now. If USDT arrives in your wallet from an address linked to a scam, days or weeks later the frozen wallet may be yours. Checking the counterparty's address before the deal takes 10 seconds.
It answers three questions about an address: where its money came from, where it went, and whether it resembles wallets that were already frozen or sanctioned. Paid services (AMLBot, GetBlock, Chainalysis) return a “risk percentage” with no explanation. FreezeCheck answers in words: “received 1,200 USDT from a look-alike address”, “paid a wallet Tether later froze”, “funds from a Binance deposit”.

Paste a T… address (34 characters). In 10 seconds you get a score from 0 to 100, a verdict and the reasons.
🟢 go ahead, 🟡 ask where the funds come from, 🔴 decline, ⚪ a fresh wallet with no history: ask for another address or start small.
Paid services charge $1 to $5 per address and return a risk percentage from a closed method. FreezeCheck differs in three ways. Reasons in words, not a percentage: you see which transfer produced the 🔴. A database built from the TRON network itself: 65M labelled addresses, including 1,500 unnamed exchanges and exchangers that are not on Tronscan. A public accuracy log: every night the bot checks hundreds of wallets on its own, records the verdict in advance and compares it with Tether freezes once an hour. What was predicted and what got frozen is visible in the /proof command.
A list of addresses in one message or a .txt / .csv file (up to 50 at a time) returns a table of verdicts and a CSV. A partner link with your tag gives clients +5 checks and you the statistics. Volume by arrangement: hello@freezecheck.org. All features are on the what FreezeCheck can do page.
In FreezeCheck 3 checks a day are free with the full report, link graph and PDF. A pack of 10 checks — $2.99 free, limited time only. Exchangers with hundreds of checks a day: by arrangement.
No. Open the bot in Telegram and send an address. Your checks are visible only to you.
TRON only, USDT TRC-20. It is the network where most USDT settlements and most Tether freezes happen.
Do not accept and do not send. Ask for another address or walk away. The reason from the report can be shown to the counterparty as a PDF.
Yes. If your address carries the “frozen by Tether” label, read “USDT frozen: what to do”. If it is 🟡 because of a counterparty, the report shows exactly which transfer triggered it.
On wallets Tether froze after the model was trained, the bot had flagged 🟡 or 🔴 in advance in 84% of cases (a blind test: the model had never seen these freezes). False alarms on ordinary exchange clients are 3–5%. The prediction log is public: the /proof command in the bot and the “Proof” section on the site.
