Anyway, since you're still communicating with that scammer and they've already made so much money from you, although hoping against hope, is there any possibility you can sweet talk him/her that you be allowed to withdraw even a portion of your funds? You think the scammer still believes you're still falling for it, right? Perhaps a promise of an even bigger deposit soon might convince them to allow you to withdraw even a little for now?

I tried but no success as expected!

How does the tracking work?
You have to enter the txid in chain explorers like tronscan.org or (more sophisticated) oklink.com and trace until you find the transaction to a centralized service address that enforces KYC. Then you or your legal representative can contact the company to cooperatively identify the account owner.

Like a transaction to this address TS4.....H69 that end up at the kucoin deposit address https://www.oklink.com/trx/tx/a9db593835e3e2be70b1357499efb83d6f4f8db0ef57ade1cdb31274f79b19be


I used the trc20 scanner and followed my last deposit (17150$).

The USDT is in this wallet, also my deposits before : TE1bRKoKG6wAu5mFymZ8qyG3M1z12n7cqA

But i dont see a connection to kucoin?

Hi,

small update:

Tether ha replied to me. I have given them the 4 transactions i made.
They will investigate everything they said.

Now i go in person to the police, whatssapp contact is still writing to me.

I will also report it to the fbi as a few people have mentioned.


I dont think i will get ever something back, but i have to do these steps for my feelings. I know, I know...

I connected police and Tether as Tether suggested to me in there reply.
Police will check if they can locate the person or can do anything with the mobile number i have.

Currently im chatting with them to keep the contact up!

Try to post all the relevant information, such as the deposit and withdrawal addresses. Those scammers are definitely lazy and have an account in one of the KYCed exchanges. Once you know the address, the tracking journey begins, and any information you can know will help, but returning the money requires the cooperation of the security services with you, and I do not know how this will be done in your country, so the utmost is What we can do is help you track down the scammer and make sure no one else gets scammed.

Good idea, but im technically not so deep in all this stuff.
Her are the 4 transactions i made on trc20:

5200 USDT
00043b5be3d889841747192b25f67553d73fb1d7ab76b573badd9fd9d694eab4

5000 USDT
9d6cf97f303662b971ed389555bf4c6d59cfad8a3df891d0f21d578e3174e188

15200 USDT

76306d5a4cbcc4885beebcc209cf15008abb10177ba48530d13f6f1327a2f312

17150 USDT
e097b078c24c5c5f941a80535c2bed250ddbb5e9f2ec02aa4107b3affc8f5986

How does the tracking work?

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Thanks so far for your comments. I calmed down a little.
I know I made a big mistake, i dont know how they catched me mental.

But it was a really "good" scam, i have to say now when i reflect about all the stuff. Whatever, im still an idiot.

My next steps...

I will go to the police tomorrow in person and talk to them. What me makes a bit hopefully is the fact that the whatsapp contact still thinks i didnt realize whats happening.

We are talking right now and "making a plan" together to get the money back. By depositing more money. For sure i will not do that, but i want to keep the contact thinking of that, to keep the communication ongoing. So my hope is that the in fact ongoing scam could offer the police some possibilities. Locating the person maybe, i dont know if thats possible in this case.

We will see. I can keep you informed here about my stupid journey if you like.

Thank you so far, i m happy about all imcoming comments and tips!

Hi,

long story short, it just happend...and i knew i was so stupid, nobody must tell me that  Wink

I would be very thankfull if someone could help me what to do now, it all just happend.

in short:

- meet a contact on the internet (financial manager)
- chatted on whatsapp for some days
- i was shown a site with cryto derivate trading : crypto currency exchangex .com (remove spaces for valid adress!)
- deposit adress is trc20 : TBsLxV5Lu68kaKmC ddontd39XnS8dwEeFQ (remove spaces for valid deposit adress!)
- other website dresses on that site: domain: cryptocurrencyexz.com, email: support@cryptocurrencyexz.com
- i deposited 1k, did trades and could withdraw all
- i deposited 10k and traded, i received a "bonus"
- i had to deposit more to unlock and be able to withdraw
- after that i a "supertrade", the amount was to high and i became a "vip" member but need to deposit more
- i stupid idiot did it, because of the contact in whatsapp talk me in
- now i should deposit another amount to unlock the "money laundering" laws because me transaction was "intercepted" from an authority
- i did nothing more, so many red flags

overall amount deposited there is around 40k in USDT.

I know im an idiot!

so my question is what can i do to at least have a small chance to get something back.

what i have done in the last 2 hours is:

- saved all screenshots, chats, transactions and so on
- contacted a lawyer
- made a report to the police
- i informed tether about it and reported the website



i know here are a lot good guys and girls with good answers and much knowledge.
Can i do anything additionaly or has anyone any tip for me?

This story has ruined me, i know its my fault, but changes nothing on my status now. i could cry all night.

i just want to ask kindly if anyone has any tips for me.

Thank you so much!

Hi,

has anyone experiences with binancetradingfx.com? Is it legit or scam?

I'm unsure, someone said I should invest there but it smells like scam?

Thanks for any feedback!
