Title: Boltrecovery.com scam
Post by: Datway on February 02, 2020, 08:55:13 PM
This website say it can help get my lost investment back they ordered me to create a blockchain account

I did not know that i have them the 12 word seed phrase later they conned me with 2 non spendable wallets as recovered funds and ordered me to put 4400usd and 2000usd on this wallet to recover funds. This was not smart they moved the funds and used a btc tumbler

I know that my funds are not recoverable but because these guys are operating from a legit looking website can i somehow get the bitcoins back

Please advice im really new to bitcoin

"Legit looking?"
Full of broken English and grammar errors, a domestic address in Kentucky as an office, with a Bronx telephone number?

Quote from: legit looking website
we can fix it!

Cryptocurrency, for example, Bitcoin or Ethereum have picked up a great deal of consideration nowadays. As the time passes by, the universe of digital forms of money is quickly developing and today we have a great many crypto coins around the world. Individuals spend tons of cash for purchasing cryptographic forms of money on the grounds that there is a great deal of potential for some digital currency to develop and to compensate its members.  

I don't wish to sound mean, but you should just stop now. Stick with cash, and don't talk to strangers.

i am wondering why people are still believing this kind of service. if they are asking for upfront money before doing their job, you should have do your research first before sending any penny to them. the truth is, you can't get your bitcoins back, just assessing how they handle their services. it is an old scam and you should have not given your seed phrase to them by any means. just accept the fact that it would be too difficult to recover your funds. but sending money to strangers? it is a big NO NO...

Holy moly... Did you just send those scammers $6400 without any hesitation or doing some research about the legit looking website?
I really wonder how much lost investment you were trying to recover, must have been a lot.

I tried opening the website and the homepage is blank... It doesn't seem like a legit looking website to me.

Sometimes, that's how human minds works if money matters, unfortunately.

I'm sorry but there's no way you can recover your coins. For suggestions, I recommend to learn on how bitcoin works, from sending, receiving, securing your wallet to investing and trading. A simple google will give you answers for that.

I found a similar website called onlinechargeback.com "Retrieve Your Loses From Binary Options & Crypto Frauds"

It's created 2 months prior to Boltrecovery but the funny part is that both are last updated on the same date:

Domain Name: ONLINECHARGEBACK.COM
Dates   221 days old

I will give it a more thorough look tomorrow. This might be a new trend to scam people who are new to crypto. There's probably more domains connected.

It is very much a thing this secondary "recovery" scamming, started in binary options and is now more and more common in a crypto context. Quora's full of this shit.
I profiled a bunch of them here. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5216499.msg53587304#msg53587304)
