Bitcoin Forum

Hi readers,

Two days ago I have been scammed a message lured me to sent btc's to be rewarded with btc's. Is there a way to undo the payment?   I bought with a credit card for the first time btc's and open an Electum wallet where my btc's can transfer to. From the wallet I did the payment to the scammer(s).
output btc 1FWgupudCV4RQtZXhHtN9qPsWgphZFefa5
transaction id: 3d04e9a146ea666433f24579a4452534a05d3c106703a5771d9e97b88e9e92c1

Hope it can be fixed.

Kind regards,

4everfriend 

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible.. Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but that's just the way it is. As soon as your transaction ends up in a block, there is no way to cancel it.
The only things you can do is open a proper scam report on this forum, so at least other's won't fall in the same trap as you did, maybe try to track down the scammer (depends on the method he used to scam you... Most of the time it's very hard, nearly impossible, to track them down) and last but not least: learn from this experience...
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Nobody has a magic method to multiply BTC, nobody will double your money without effort from your side...

Hope you did not send large amount of btc because I'm Sorry, there's no way to undo the payment.  You just have to be careful next time.
However, if there are other details of the person like name, phone number, website, physical address e.t.c that yu can lay your hands on, you can get and send to the relevant authorities in your area.

Yeah, unfortunately, your Bitcoin is gone.

The address you sent to has 11 other txs, and has not moved the funds at all, so I wonder if this is an address the scammer directly and manually controls. It might be worth contacting the scammer, and asking if he would consider returning some of your coins, offering to let him keep some.

I know it's sort of like grovelling, but I've seen it work before. In any case, what certainly doesn't work is abusive language and insults (unless you've no intention of convincing the scammer to return you anything).

Cut your losses and don't look back, I've seen too many people fuss and worry over Bitcoin they've surely lost forever. Lesson learnt.

I really don't get how so many people still fall for this! It's like the oldest scam in the book. If someone IRL asks you to give him $100 and promises to return $200, do you believe him? Of course not! So why would you believe this when someone does the same online?

$10k in a day :o Scammers are earning good money from naive greedy people!

I highly doubt that: the scammer can just keep everything now.

A scammer with a soft spot for sob stories?

No one's answering the thread title so, here we go:

Learn from your mistake and get over it because (as they say) Bitcoin Transactions are irreversible
or better if you can tell us the site where you were scammed and their possible modus operandi so you or anyone here can open a scam accusation to that site.
That way, your experience wont just help you but other prospective victims too.

---

Also lastly, we aren't 100% sure if that address is really a scammer's address, you know what I mean, right?

Thank everone for giving me advice. A lesson need to be paid sometimes. Was my 1st lesson for' 'playing' wit btc's. Scamsite is:https://musk-official-giveaway.com/b/

You should report the scam to their webhost:

Done, just contacted them by mail with headliner URGENT..

Do first is open a proper scam report on this forum. Try to track down the scammer depends on the method he/she used. Bitcoin transaction are irreversible.

Personal true story 1993/4 I was new to internet. Installed what I thought was a tamagochi, turned out to be Back Orifice. Everything wiped. Hacker sent me email I contacted and asked nicely. Gave me back plus some.

Hackers have a strange disposition that sometimes can be appealed to.

https://bitcoinist.com/hacker-returns-17m-worth-of-stolen-ethereum/

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1396930.0

Of course, the sceptics have their explanations justifying why hackers would do that. Some of the older forum guys probably can remember similar instances.

Not that I want to get anybody's hopes up.

Maybe it's an oldest form of Bitcoin scam but new people enter Bitcoin market everyday and 95% of them aren't aware of how Bitcoin works or what is it actually. I have seen several cases where investors are completely unaware what is Bitcoin, they only know it is some kind of investment which gives higher return in future. Scammers just make benefit of this tendency of people, they lure people with some cheesy lines or write such technical lines which fascinate the layman. Some professional scammers even give people returns 1 or 2 times but in the end, the greedy tendency of people fall to their prey and they lose all.

How are people still falling for the fake Twitter bots advertising giveaways? :-\

They have been doing the same thing for almost 5 months...

I don't know how peoples scammed from this kind of peoples. because they know no one will send any bitcoins or money. if u scammed from bitcoin then u can't get back Ur bitcoin because bitcoin transactions is not reversible. u can do only one thing negotiate with scammer and say give some coins back and aware people not believe on this kind of scammers.

there are too many people who dont know about crypto and dont know about security. I saw in twitter many fake giveaways and many people who participates in them. Twitter block then slowly, very slowly

This is just what contributors on this thread and forum should understand. Life is not bed of roses, to be rich is one of the hardest things to come, though a little bit of luck but you must be dispose to the luck before you attract it. You must do what you have to do.

AS we all know that bitcoin is very sustainable, volatile and versatile crypto currency and and no doubt it is very trustworthy crypto currency and this is the only reason that bitcoin has millions of people that invest blindly and invest a lot in bitcoin, so bitcoin is very trustable crypto currency but still there are people who has been hacked and there are people who reported that they has been scammed so for this you should be very confidential and secure with your wallet keys.

Wow sorry to hear about your loss.  I just want to thank you for telling your story.  I coin with my younger son and I was able to teach him a valuable life lesson all from this post.  I know that doesn't bring the money back but you post has helped me tremendously.

If it has happened then the transaction can not be changed or terminated, unfortunately your BTC is lost and accepted by fraudsters, by P2P then there will not be any third person who can stop it and can not retract and track its existence, it is very much to say you just send it away, many examples then want to cause people to be deceived, I think you can realize it to be more careful, do not believe everyone without strong evidence.

I did not get it, how come that this type of old traps is still working after so long. I am sure there are a lot of people in this community who got scammed dozen of time. And whenever a new user joins the community we should share our experience with them without spamming the forum. Let's make experience sharing a website or even better let's attach a Reddit link on the roof section so every new user can review all the previous experience we all had.

Unfortunately you were scammed and there is nothing you can do, if you were scammed for 252 btc then there will be something you can do but for little amounts it is gone.

You need to be very careful when you are online especially  in the world of crypto. The best you can do to protect yourself is always been vigilant and suspicious. Never be enticed by huge freebies , they are mostly scams.

There is no way to get what you already lost. Being scammed is very tragic experience that makes you to stop and lose hope to do things again. But you have to be careful next time. Beware of the sites that you are entering, that might the way of those who pisher an account.

unlike banks that can undo the transaction
when the transaction has entered the blockchain and got a confirmation then your money has moved to the scammer
all you can do is if you know the identity of the scammer report it to the authorities
if you do not know the identity of the scammer then there is nothing you can do

Hey sorry, to hear that you have been scammed.
If it's a "Musk"-like scam, I guess that you have been lured on Twitter, where most of Musk-scammer attempt to convince their victims.
But you can tell yourself that in a certain way, you have scammed the scammer.
Indeed, according to your Tx ID, you've only sent 0.001 BTC, which is close to 8$ at the actual rate.
Good Game mate! you powned him !  ;)

Come to grief for those of you who have lost Bitcoin because fraud, hopefully with this you can be more selective again and this is a lesson for us all in the forum so do not be easily tempted by the lure as you mentioned it.

if you expect to cancel the transaction I do not think it is possible, you should be more careful in believing someone else next time.

If the scam took place with fiat currency involved in it:

There are some departments of government to deal with such scams as far as fiat currency is involved. You can file an initial complaint and let the investigating officials do their work.


If the scam took place with cryptocurrency involved in it:

Learn from it, help others to stay safe from such kind of scams and move on from it. Crypto is all about self-responsibility, it is strong as a technology but nothing can be done in case of the carelessness of the user. I don't see any practical cases when investigating agencies helped in the case of crypto scams.

one owes himself the responsibility of safe guarding his wallet or bitcoins and every other cryptocurrency assts the person has. if you ever get scammed it means you did something wrong in safeguarding your wallet so you have to increase your security level

Take it as a loss and accept it? I mean there's really nothing you can do with Bitcoin except attempt to expose the scammer for what they are an attempt to stop them from being able to scam in the future. You can't reverse a transaction with Bitcoin, once it's sent it's sent.

You're going to have to take this as a lesson and move on, it does suck to lose money but it's like losing cash -- be more careful next time in who you trust with your hard earned money.

If you are cheated, you should be smart as soon as possible away from the place where you cheated and you also have to warn people around the people involved to hold their information to stop investing.

When being scammed, of course we need to move on and find out why do we scam. Make it a lesson learn after we this situation. I was scammed before, a lose a lot of money but I never stop looking for the business or jobs that I really need. I ma so thankful I found this forum because here I found the true answer to my needs. I am looking forward to learn more things being discussed here.

First of all, I am so sorry for what you face dude. Blockchain technology is a secure technology, and so you cannot reverse what you do in the network (Sending BTC). It is a decentralized technology, unlike banking. So next time, you should be careful before sending funds from your wallet to the other wallet. And never send BTC to people that you don't know.

First time i've been experience scamming on my wallet,i feel disgusting to my self,because i  thinks im idiot,why just happen to me,that i've become a victim of scamming until then i realize,that maybe i need a lifeline helps in those MEW  support,and they advise me ,thats everythings they could not do that to get back my crypto coins,because everthings has a records in transaction hush,until i forget those my bad experience and i make those a lesson as a part of experience.

Well, your bitcoin is already sent and they are not irreversible, you just have to accept it that Btc is lost. And learn our lessons through this. Next time you have to check properly and don't be hook by false promises...

Learn from your mistake.Be very cautious next time.You need to verify if the site you are logged in to is legit.Read reviews.Tell others to be careful as well.

When you see get rich quick scheme, someone else is trying to get rich of you. Sorry for your lose mate.

I think you should report your account, if you are joining bounty campaigns, let the bounty manager know about your account that is being hacked. And if you can open your account, transfer the important things and coins to your new account in order to have savings left to you.

You cannot reverse a bitcoin transaction. Treat it as a lesson and be careful in future not to do the same mistake.

I don't think there is anything you can do if scam in Bitcoin, just forget and move on then learn from your mistake for it not to happen again, make sure you don't click any how site and always check the url very well before you input your details has many site are phishing one now adays, make a good password and also Google authentication to prevent your account for been scam and also use hardware wallet to store your coins or cold wallet which you have your private key and never let anyone has access to it.

I'm not scummed yet but it happens to me that maybe I'll cry because I'm missing out on bitcoin. I know we're in the scummer and we keep our private key so no scummed bad guys.

We already experience a scam and Yes it's irreversible. Good thing we lost only around 250 USD and not more. What we experience is a phishing site who looks exactly the same on a website that we are currently working with. That person told us to open our account on the link they sent and the site look the same and they will send us bonus BTC for doing so. We put the credentials then they took our money.

That's right. You should take an action for it. You should be careful in joining campaign because there are two things thst will might happen its either you gain some token or you lose. You should be wise in this industry.

You just have to moved on and learn from it, by the next time you will be able to handle or secure your account and may that be a lesson for you to learn on how to be safe in all aspects of life. Just be attentive enough and learn different things on how to secure your account.

your transaction cannot be canceled, and the BTC you send to the scammer will not come back again after you have gone through several transaction stages.


I think you should be careful when you receive an obscure message. and has no purpose.

and do not respond to messages from people you do not know. unless you have to use escrow.

Sorry to say but it can't be undone. Once you sent your bitcoin to other people's wallet, there is almost no way to get your bitcoin back. Unless that person want to give it back to you, which is absolutely impossible i think.
I hope you don't lose a big amount of bitcoin, since it really must suck. I'm sorry for you to experience that, but you shouldn't believe that kind of scammy message in the first place. It's absolutely weird, there's no way they will give you btc if you give them btc. Well just make this as a great lesson, be careful and don't believe that kind of thing anymore so in the future you'll be fine.

That's what you get for acting without proper research. Sorry for the loss mate. Your Bitcoin is gone and there's no way that you could get them even if you contacted them. They are scammers which means they won't give even a cent of what they scammed. Just be careful next time.

There is no way to reverse the transactions, though to find who owns that wallet address,  because bitcoin is totally anonymous, and anyone who using it is still anonymous, the only way is to move on and avoid that to happen again.

there's probably nothing you can do because of that risk we'll get, making it an experience that will make you better in the future than ever before

Scammers are always here or everywhere and there is a lot of people are victims of a scam. When you send your btc there is no way to cancel or reverse the transactions with it, the only thing that you should do is move on, forget on bad happened to you.

This is one of the negative things about Bitcoin, depending on what side you are in this scenario. If you are being scammed and the transaction is irreversible, then you lose that money and it does not provide consumer protection, but when you are a merchant and someone bought stuff from you, then the irreversible transactions are your friend. <Chargebacks>

Unfortunately you are on the bad side of this scenario and you lost some money. I hope the person who scammed you, will also get scammed or that he/she will make a mistake and end up going to jail.  >:( >:( >:(

First thing that I will do if ever I'm gonna experienced a scam is to focus and tell myself that all is well. After evaluation of what happened then I will proceed to recovering of my account. I can't afford to just let a scammer rule over me. I will do my very best to get what is mine and try to keep safe next time. I will continue my life and move on from it with learning.

With bitcoin there is no possibility of going back. If you get screwed, you're wrong, etc. you can not fix it.

As any transaction that already sent cannot be cancel therefore your transaction was successfully sent to the thief so you need to do is to move forward and forget the past but not the experience. Next time you should be vigilant like of some fake investments site that don't have complete "https" to the address because it is a fake site and even if the site is valid but still you need to review well if they are legit or not. Use the power of internet as a tool  for your full research next time and you should learned well the lesson.

I hope you are fine because all of that is because of your carelessness.
You don't believe in the same thing anymore, because that can make you lose money.

before I was sorry for all that.

Scamming by using bitcoin transaction is hard to get and know how to take back our bitcoin balance, we know is more hard to know how to check and know some one have stole and get our bitcoin. just take experience about how next time we have more careful and know what have to do before sent bitcoin balance to the other.

I'm sorry, the deal is irreversible,but you can watch the flow of the BTC at his address, and if its BTC moves to the exchange, you can ask the exchange to freeze the transaction.

try as much as possible so that events like that don't happen again. because we can get experience from the events that we have experienced. and try to rise again and always be patient because the best person is Patience

You suck up your loss and move on with your hustle while being extra cautious so you dont fall victim again.

transactions in crypto cannot be canceled dude. These are all your own mistakes, not careful before sending your money to someone else's account.
do not regret everything that has happened and make this a learning so you will not be deceived again. spirit of dude

The fastest step to prevent the emergence of new victims is that Mommies immediately blocked the online shop. Blocking requests can be made directly through the bank's call center where the offender opens his account. Even though Mommies transfers from a bank that is different from the perpetrator, the bank through the call center will continue to process our report.

If you are tricked, I think there is no way to get your wallet back. You only have to learn after what you have; you should preserve your account. Or you can contact the 3rd party to keep your bitcoin number

So sorry for your loss. If you know about the cryptocurrency market, you would know that transactions cannot be reversed immediately it gets 1 confirmation on the blockchain. You need to be more careful next time. Be sure of any transaction you wish to make before doing it

Your money is gone forever and I urge you to forget about it and consider it as a bad debt. Use it as experience in order not to fall such scam again. Whenever someone promise you a return which seems unreasonable ,ask yourself what is the person going to do with my bitcoins in order to give me a huge promise return, and if you can't figure out how he can double your money then it is a scam.

It is good to know that we have where someone can report any form of scam but I want to know the action that will be taken by the platform.

Sorry sir, there is nothing you can do against it. All money that you transfer to him is now belongs to him because Bitcoin transaction is irreversible , maybe if he still kind enough you can message back tell to kindly back your money, if he want to though. Learn your mistake and never trust massage like that again.

It's quite unfortunate that nothing can done about it. The blockchain technology is an irreversible transaction that once initiated cannot be stopped nor altered. I feel you pain anyways. Just brave up and move on.

if you expect to cancel the transaction I do not think it is possible, you should be more careful in believing someone else next time.

Sorry for your loss, I think nothing you can do.  Well you can pray, who knows the scammer kindly return your bitcoin.  Man, why don't you just send it to me?  I'll thank you and use that coin for good.

Look at that, you get merit for this!  I don't know if you really need that.  ???

When you know that you are being scammed, then dont continue it because it will just make fun of you and waste your time. Scammers are everywhere and they cant be stopped by anyone. It is just in us on how we will defend ourselves to the different scammers out there.

First of all you have to be still to stay on focus when this kind of bad thing is happening to you. You need to recover what is being scammed on you because that's your property and you can't afford to lose that. Just i case that the scammer was able to do his/her motive on you which is to scam then you must be careful next time to avoid those kind of bad experience.

I encourage you to forget about it and consider it a bad debt. Use it as an experience to avoid falling back. Every time someone promises you a seemingly nonsense return, ask yourself what that person will do with my bitcoin to give me promising results, and if you don't know how he can double your money then it's fraud.

For me if I got being scammed I think I have nothing to do because it is very difficult to traced cause it is decentralized. What we are going to do just to relax and I hope it will not happened again.  next time We must be carefull so that it will not scammed again.

Yes, you cant retrieve what they've stolen from you. So for next time dont trust no one and just be careful on where you put your wallet password. Learn from your mistake, because mistakes is a great teacher. Dont be a fool to be scammed for the second time, if you got scammed again then you didn't learn. I guess that bitcoin is not yours to keep. Just find another thing to invest to.

we all know that prevention is better than cure. So, we all always have to be careful about it and it is very sad to say that after being scammed there is nothing to do as far i know.

Being scammed cannot be solved, you must also learn on how you manage your account and learn from your mistake.

If we get being scammed, we fell it regrets because we miss our effort of bitcoin. We cannot solve it anymore. We bear it in our mind that next time we learn more how to manage our own so that we will not scammed it again.

Being scammed is part of living in cryptocurrency. I believe that when you were scammed by other people, that doesn't end there. You should try to get up on your feet and try to do whatever it takes for you to do whatever to get up again.

It is a pity that it happened! tell the scheme of deception in more detail for the rest of the community. Scammers every day come up with new schemes to leave us without funds. Therefore, you need to be more attentive. Do not transfer your private key from your wallet to any of the sites!

It is impossible to back again on what you pay because imagine when there's a person gave a payment to you then he get the pay again?  It is not good right? So it is impossible to get your money back when you pay at scam.

It is the lecture to you to study for some investment to don't just join on some investment.

We already experience a scam and Yes it's irreversible. Good thing we lost only around 250 USD and not more. What we experience is a phishing site who looks exactly the same on a website that we are currently working with.just take experience about how next time we have more careful and know what have to do before sent bitcoin balance to the other.

Previously I was fooled 0.3 BTC by a scammer on Facebook and that was one last time I was cheated. But I also thank the scammer for helping me to have a valuable lesson. I will never send BTC or ETH before and if there are people wanting to buy BTC and ETH I will ask them to meet and deal directly

Phishing appears on the internet a lot. Because we will never be able to find the information of the fraudsters who have appropriated our BTC assets. The best way to deal with these scammers is to never trust them and send them in advance

What do do when I scammed?for me,continue my life!because bitcoin is there or not,that is not my life.I must say that we dont need to fucos our life or income into a one thing.if we need go live,find  job that can support us and our family in our daily lives.dont fucos to a one job that you are not sured for it....and if that transaction is for sure,well,all I can say is dont trust on it if your feeling is not so sure!

There is no way after being scammed. You cant get back the eth or btc you send. Just keep yourself in positive thinking and treat it as a trial. Learned and be more carefull in this online industry. Always remember don't trust any people around you. Like in telegram, trust only have the admin tag

Stop hoping that it will be fixed, this is cryptocurrency, you seems to be in an unfamiliar territory, you need to educate yourself on how to secure your machine and your self, before you can advance here, it's a newbie trap, you can't do anything on it but to just move on and charge it to experience.

i will say that these questions shouldn't come.instead of it you first properly take the basic knowledge of blockchain, crypto, transactions, mining...etc from bitcoin.com. Second thing as you are asking to reverse the payment...lol...there is no such way to reverse ur transactions once its made by anyone because in blockchain technology there is no such way to reverse it. 

Well, sad to say that it is hopeless but I know that this will serve as a lesson that's why do not believed easily to anyone because there are a lot of scammers in crypto, scammers are everywhere that is why you need to be careful always.

its a lesson learnt and should be avoided another time or you should always be making use of trusted people as escrow or use escrow service platform.

condolences for your innocence. And you report it to others who are not fooled

That is just sad but that is your fault clicking on those links that is warned by a lot of people here in the forum. Never or try to be careful on clicking on links since scammers are very tricky and creative. They are so smart on what they do so you really need to be careful on what you do. There is a lot of instances that this happens and it is not only BTC that is scammed.

bad news, this is a lesson for everyone not to be easily tempted by a quick way to double money or BTC, because basically the cryptocurrency exchange follows the market mechanism, so that the profits cannot be ascertained every day. There have been many cases like this, the thing to note is to re-examine the investment that you will enter before buying it.

Sorry to say but there is no way to undo any transactions as what other have been said, I wonder where the message came from, because if here on bitcointalk message you can report his account show your proof to the report and maybe after admin check it there's a possibility that his/her account can get negative trust.

In that way you can get back to him at least his account is tagged and can help to other forum user to know that he/she is a scammer.

Bitcoin transactions aren't reversible. If you mistakenly sent bitcoin to a wrong wallet it's same with getting scamed by sending your btc to the fraudsters, you can't reverse it and it can't be traced to the owner of the wallet.  It's not like fiat transactions that you can track and even loggge complaints to the neccessary channel and it will be reversed in no time.

Bad news. It's all gone. Others can only learn through this. Trust no one but your instincts. Carry out due and diligent research. May you and us all not for victim to these scanners loitering around again. Sorry for the loss.

Very pathetic dear, the issue of scamm is really a big problem and they are making a lot from innocent souls like you dear. Just the very meticulous the next time. Probably avoid any spam messages of claiming btc or any coin they will scam you. Be vigilant.

Bitcoin transactions are anonymous and it is a decentralized currency though when someone get access to your wallet or find a way to scam you there is nothing to do.
There is no way to know the identity of the scammer else he is a stupid and leaves something behind him.

The best but not the easiest option in the case when you get scammed with BT remember all the things, count all the conclusions and go on trading investing or whatever you have been doing before, including your new valuable experience.

I think be careful  and do not be scam. Because this is not good for you and anybody

Last recent days my cryptocurrency portfolio have lost so many money in terms of price value, so nobody even would not be trying to hack my cryptocurrency wallet, it is having a tons of unused and forgotten coins as well.

You just cant undone and reverse those transactions you made. It can return to you if the person you sent it would transfer it back. Yet if it is already made and you even don't know his/her identity, you just made a foolish move. One should never send payment first through crypto especially those Bitcoin payment as they are all more likely to be scams. Those that aren't were those who sends the item first before payment or through meet ups.

That's really a bad experience, very sorry for your lost my friend. If only you knew you would have just asked someone who knows better before taking any action.

Good thing you've shared it, others will take precaution.

Well it's nothing.
I think it should be charged to your experience when you are scammed.
And think for yourself that it will be never happened again.

You have to be patient. That is part of the risk that we must face in the cryptocurrency world. Make the experience a lesson. The fraudsters only used the popularity of cryptocurrency to get instant profits. Next time you have to be more selective.

The reason why bitcoin scams are everywhere is because there is no one that will be going to punish them. And you cannot report them. Once it is done, there is no way to get it back unless you are scammed by a person through investment, in that way, you can report him or her to the police. So the best thing to do is be a good observant so that you can avoid scams.

That''s true. Don't gets hurt and always moved on if you get scammed and take a lesson from it so that you will easily accepted and try to make deep research when choosing next time. Remember that success will always prevail behind many losses.

The transaction will never be complete because it is an anonymous market and you transfer coin to another person which means you have lost that coin.
I think you should consider this a costly lesson for you. You will not encounter future scammers anymore.

Sorry about this Friend, there is nothing that can be done, it's gone forever. There is nothing like free things in this space you have got to earn it. When next you are been asked to send am X,Y, Z amount to get something back in return, just know it's a scam, just run for your dear life. They "the scammers" are very much on twitter. Please always buy bitcoin from a reliable and verified sources.

It is always easier to say than to apply but if you're getting scammed, the best option would be to assume your knowledge received from that event and continue on more educated and experienced than you were before.

That means you have lost your coins because bitcoin or any other Cryptocurrency transactions is irreversible. You have to learn through this experience and avoid been greedy in case of next time there's no site that offers Cryptocurrencies for free or as bonus sorry for the lost.

Sadly scams are an often occurrence, all we can do is take protective measures and procedure with cation. let's keep our information as secret as possible/

Yes, once scammed we cannot be able to get what we already loss, but this will be a lesson learned so that next time we will be more cautious and more careful before making an investment.

If you have already sent it, it looks like you can't pull it anymore. make this a learning, from now on don't be easily influenced by things like this, because fraud like this has existed for a long time. you must be careful again.

Unfortunately we have a larger number of scams than the good projects and intentions in the crypto world ... The best remedy is to distrust to the maximum of proposals that promise a very high return, even in a market of high volatility few are really able big profits, so expect easy money is to count on luck.

blockchain transactions can not be reversed mate, the money is gone, take heart, but be very careful next time and don't fall a victim to bitcoin scammers because they are always on the look out with the aim of scamming people.

sad to say you should rather keep that as an experience that hopefully will not happen again. Previews comments have already answer your question what I can only advise to you is to always remember that WE SHOULD ALWAYS PUT EFFORT TO EVERYTHING BEFORE GAINING AWARDS. We are now in the logical and advanced system so we should always consider this basic rules. 

We all know that scammers are always become ready to scam so we should also be aware but very much sorry to say after being scammed there is nothing to do.

How do you do? warning to everyone, learn from experience to avoid being cheated again. Besides these things, I do not know what to do anymore.

The best decision i thought is share it on forum, social media to avoid other people get scammed.
About your situation, unfortainy there is no way to recover your coins once the transaction is confirmed.

sometimes I am also confused like you when I am fooled, where I have to complain and where I have to find a solution, surely everything will be complicated.
bitcoin will already be detected when fraud occurs, the government will not help you for only $ 1000, you have to reclassify it

in my opinion is if we being scammed still calm down and report the scammer and pray for him .

That is your baptism of fire in the scammers world. For them to ask you to send a BTC for your reward was a red flag. Since you did not see it then you did fall for it. There is nothing you can do because your donation has already been publish in the blockchain. It is only the scammer that can send it back to you. take heart my dear

No, it's an irreversible process. To find the ends and to return the there is no opportunity. Of course, if the fraudster does not do it voluntarily.

Hope you learned your lesson on not to just trust anyone you don't know who pm you and offer some shady stuff. Yes bitcoin transactions are irreversible and there is nothing you can do about your bitcoin. All you can do right now is to learn from said mostake and be cautious next time. The bitcoin world is full of scammers so don't trust anyone.

wow! am really sorry for your loss, but you cant recover any transaction sent already cos bitcoin transaction is not traceable to any bank. just try never to make such expensive mistake again and always ask people who knows better than you in this profession to always guide you with their own experience and ideas before venturing into any huge transactions. this will enable you to be in a saver side. once again, am sorry for your loss.

Just forget it. Greed is really always an effective bait for noobs in the world of  cryptocurrency. Let this be a reminder to you and make people around you aware of it. You are actually spreading awareness when you share your story and tell all the details about it.

Scam is a big problem at this time. You are a new first you need understand cryptocurrency. Hope you not lose big amount. Before send any one fund you need to know details about the project.I think you learn good lesson and careful for future.

Yes it’s true, the best way to do is to learn from that mistake. Bad experience can help us to be wiser as a human being. I just hope that the person involved didn’t lose too much of his/her bitcoin. And that he/she can share to everyone which site it is for all of us to be aware of.

Everyday we have many trials that we face,  and part of block chain technology is that we have encounter some scammer who just happy to stealed what we earn. By that we just continue what we started because if we think about scammer to bring back our token,it is impossible to do.

Sad to say but the btc's you have been send cannot be undo. You can't get back the btc's you already transfer to the scammers. All you need to do is make that experience of yours a lesson. Indeed, many scammers are lurking around just to scam others and we can't do anything when we scam unless you know the people behind it so that you can file a suit against them.

the money that has been sent cannot be withdrawn anymore
there are no agencies that take care of the existence of bitcoin, so everything you do is very risky, especially if you send funds without thinking of something potentially bad about your decision

Its sad how other people scam others. This kind of situation is really hard to be resolved. I hope that this loss of yours will help you to realize your mistakes and take this as a lesson. Many of us also had a bad experience with bitcoin, but it makes more stronger than before because we learn from our own mistakes and now we a re not afraid to risk.

Unfortunately, you can not go back but negotiate the scammer and soft language
returns you some money and he keeps other
This is first
Secondly, you have to benefit from this difficult experience
Do not trust anyone easily and do not be fishing easy.

Learn from it and move on! That's the best thing to do this case. Since  Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, I would suggest to just focus on moving forward rather than dwelling from that incident. Dwelling in our mistakes will not help us in any way. They should only serve as reference for us for the future. Learn and be smarter...that's the way to do it!

This reminds of any anonymous sites that says that they give a good amount of btc in return for giving them also some btc. I was very close to believe that it is really true because there are many comments that proves they received it but there is doubt because they are not real people so I'm happy I did not fall for it.

You can't do much when you've been scammed. The only thing you can do is to learn from your mistakes and do not be trapped again in the future. Of course, it is better to learn from others' mistakes but what to do. Such an unpleasant experience can save you more money in the future while investing.

I experience this thing before on twitter asking for some eth and will give you more eth in return. Well, I fall on that trap and make my money lose but the good thing is I learned from that mistake. There is no way to get that money back, you better forget about that and learned from that experience. Do your best to protect yourself, we may fall sometimes but don't let that bad experience stopped you from achieving your dream.

Their is no way one can reverse payment made on the blockchain network. Once it has gotten confirmation on the blockchain, it is irreversible. Just take it as a lesson and be more careful next time.

I have already encountered the same thing last year but then at that time I does not have the courage to take a move with the dos for it. But then, badly, encountering such scenario will not revive every thing unless you had capture the scammer.

Sorry Buddy, Bitcoin transaction is irreversible once it is done and btc left your wallet. Everyday we keep learning from experience and move on. Please educate any of your followers and advice them not to make such mistake as yours.

there is no other way if you have been deceived. you have to be calm all that makes the experience of buar later on be more careful and make the password a little complicated so that it is not easy to hack.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done. Here kicks in the immutable attribute of a blockchain transaction which favors those that threads carefully and makes another scratch their head from utter disbelief and regret upon making an unwanted transaction.

And bitcoin not having a central governing authority, there's really no one to report to. But it will of course do good to have the person reported on forums like this so that other people can stay away from those dubious people.

One last note though, make sure you were scammed and not merely wanting to reverse a mistaken transaction because it will not be cool to drag peoples name to and judge them to be scammers with no factual basis.

Unfortunately, there is no way to return the transaction! I feel sorry...

Unfortunately not a lot you can do after being scammed, unless you purchased a coins with a compensation plan.

I think You can't cancel the operation since you confirmed the transaction, no one forced you to do it, you sent the money to full trust. therefore, you need to be very careful and transfer money only to trusted people / organizations

when the scammer attack you must be alert do not mock to them because they are misleading

Always be careful on sending money to anonymous persons. But I think once you transfer your bitcoin to that you can not undo it. Hopefully, it could be a lesson learned from you. Well, I think you are a newbie here and you did not know or you have not enough knowledge to the community. Used an application or websites that you fully trusted. Now that I think it could not back your money, be careful next time so that no one can lured you again.

For that there is nothing we can do about it, but atleast next time i should know how to handle it with care and keep extra precutions on people whom i talked to if he or she is legit or not. extra careful now!

This wont help here. People just need to learn few basic rules. Never send btc to anyone for no reason especially if they tell you, you'll be rewarded with extra coins.

first study it, why can you be fooled. secondly, don't let it happen again :'(

After Bitcoin's transaction data is packaged into a "data block" or "block", the transaction is initially confirmed, and the transaction is basically irreversibly confirmed.
If you are cheated that you don't have any remedy, your alarm is useless, because BTC is semi-anonymous, it is difficult to get relevant identity information!

He is right bitcoin transactions is irreversible because in a way it is to maintain to security of transactions but the darker side it offers is that most finds way to abuse this kind of system, there might be no way to bring back the money but learn things from it and what you did wrong, nobody learns in this world without making mistakes.

There is no chance to get in the wake of being misled. You cannot get back the eth or btc you send. Simply keep yourself in positive reasoning and regard it as a preliminary. Learned and be more carefull in this online industry. Keep in mind and don't confide in any individuals around you.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it except maybe if you would want to ask the CIA of FBI maybe they have ways with their high tech computers and technician. The only clear thing you can do now is to make this experience a basis so that in the future you will never be scammed again.

It can't. What to do - very simple don't trust anyone is giving out free BTCs ;D

Every business doing, as long money is involved, someone needs to be careful as it seen, which means Bitcoin is a crypto currency, like wise other alt-coin created, and working with they potential in the industry, Having say that, currently They is project going and called Cryptopolice, which fight against scammers, and also implemented and ICO is live.

You can spread the news on this forum and forums alike and make people more aware of this doing. However if you won't somehow convince the scammer to give back at least some of your coins you can say goodbye to them.

Bitcoin scammer is increasing day by day and peoples are falling for these scams because of greed like lottery,[Suspicious link removed] in 24 hours etc before bitcoin transaction we need to verify is this scam or real because bitcoin transaction is not reversible only awareness can save us. if we get scammed than we need to aware other peoples by posting on this forum or on YouTube also if we are investing in any project than we need to do research about technical team and owner background than make our decision.

Every day we learn to improve, which makes me more stronger, with out looking back, every victim that happens is simply know as a lesson, which I experienced and encourage to push on in Lt.

You just let it go I guess because the scammer won't give your money back. Something you can do is take the lesson from what happened and don't get scam again and also just moved on.

Sorry to say but Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, However if you have any of the person's details like name, bank details, phone number, website, physical address e.t.c then just go and file a report with the person's details, and also make sure you post the details on different social medias and forums so others don't fall for it too.

accepts the fact that when you enter cryptocurrency most of the time you will get scammed by someone, you will just only sit and do nothing because you dont have really the power you can only make it in a public but in the end you will earn nothing.

It is so sad that you fall into a beautiful word of someone...sorry but you can't recover your bitcoin once you sent it successfully. It just could be possible to get it back if the person will return it to you which really impossible to happen nowadays. That's why next time be careful in joining or clicking links. Hope that what happened to you will be charge to experience to avoid it to happen again.

Sorry for your lost,  but am not sure bitcoin transactions is reversible. That's one of the disadvantages of using cryptocurrency which I hope can be address as the system advance.
However, We just have to be careful not to be greedy in any transaction.  It obvious you fell for their tactics of rewarding you awesomely. Don't be greedy in any cryptocurrency transactions or else you will continue be scam.

This may serve as a learning experience for you OP,because the bitcoin transaction is irreversible and cannot be undone so just forget about the bitcoin but remember the experience

ACtually what you did is a basic scammers victim act and only greed people believes on this scam strategy
