What exactly are you looking for? If you sent the coins to the scammer, he is the only one who can give them back to you.

There are many scammers on Discord, Telegram, even some cases that happened in Bitcointalk forum before. Newbies are always got tricked by their seduction. Presuming this is a lesson for you. Scammers mostly hide their identity so it's very difficult to find them.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. You can't do anything in this area.
You can report this scammer on discord.

You can do many things but mostly it depend if the amount is worth it. If its around ~$100 the hassle to do anything is not worth it because it won't have any real effect almost for sure.

Unfortunately you're pretty much screwed dude. First off though, how the heck did a person steal your coins through discord? You must have done a huge bad move for a person to actually steal something through a chatting client.

Very difficult to get that coin back because of digital currency transaction are irreversible. If your stolen coin is huge (big value) then you can report to cyber crime cell but due to the current legal environment surrounding prosecuting cybercriminals, recovering funds could take years and there’s little guarantee of receiving a payout.

Try "Chainalysis (https://www.chainalysis.com/)" (don't get your hopes up).

Regardless of that, I suggest to create a thread on "Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0)" board (using this format (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0)).

You can try to track where all subsequent transactions go. And after that, try to look in the bounty tables, maybe an attacker will be there. But this will not give you anything sensible, you will not prove that you are the owner of the tokens.

No one can do this reversal, unless the liar gives you money, you should know that the cryptocurrency transaction is irreversible once it is determined!

There's nothing you can do to get back your stolen tokens unless the scammer return it back but in this case it won't happen. All you can do is track the scammer's Wallet address and report it to discord or report to exchange site where he/she will sell the stolen tokens to avoid the stolen tokens to be sold or exchange to new cryptocurrency.

Could you give more details how scammer took coins from your wallet? Did you gave him your private keys?
I don't want to disappoint you, but there is no way to get your coins back. I hope you didn't lost much. One thing that you can do - learn from this story and just move on. I can say that mostly of us were scammed when we were newbies, but it was good lesson to protect our money better.
