I fell for it as bitcoins have been surging massively. This is when the scam started. How on earth you could believe and trust with someone stranger who you didn't know before? Even a experienced trader won't ask people's money to invest on him (if they can make money, they can even using their own money and become rich from that). Unfortunately no one can help you or get your money back (even you don't care about it). You can only give warning to other people to not fell into this scam Oh well , its happened . But i am sure there is a way to screw this guy's happiness.

Quote from: Porfirii on February 16, 2021, 10:30:22 AM There are a lot of cases lately, it seems that scammers are working non-stop with the latest surge of the cryptos: fake apps, phishing, or scamming directly asking for transactions. I don't think that Instagram (nor Tik-Tok) are good channels to learn about crypto. On the other hand, crypto-twitter is much better, but there is still a shitload of crap there that may be perplexing for the newbie. I am really sorry but as Lorence.xD stated, once you send the coins you can't get them back unless the recipient itself sends them back. It has been an expensive lesson (could've been more) but now at least you know that these channels are not appropriate: if you want to learn there is no better place that this forum, plus some extra books if you want to go advanced. Since we have the visibility that he has 0.008 BTC in his wallet , is there no way that we can block this and not let him do any transactions ?

Quote from: Lorence.xD on February 16, 2021, 10:17:35 AM You have to move this topic to the Scam Accusations board, you can see the move topic on the lower right of this thread and you will move it there, a lot of people can help you to some extent except getting that money back. I checked the Instagram account of the guy and I am definitely sure that it is a dummy account, what I mean by that is the account has the most generic kind of Instagram scammers, posting stuff about bitcoin, money, girls, cars, girls on cars, girls with money on cars and some poses, I think that this is not a real person, this account has been getting a lot of victims, checked the address and there was a 0.008 worths of bitcoin there, hopefully this person hasn't scammed a lot of people.

To address the elephant in the room, I have to say that when you gave it to this person then you will not be able to get it back. i have almost come to terms that i have lost the money. Out of that 0.008 , 0.045 is mine i believe. But i really want to catch these @!#$#$ even if i dont get my money back

The so called person approached me if i wanted to invest in bitcoins and get some return. I fell for it as bitcoins have been surging massively. Instagram profile : https://www.instagram.com/steven.btc_trader/ He used this number to chat on whatsapp -+1 938-238-1153 on 11th February 2021 . Then he mentioned that i will have to open a wallet for storing bitcoins. So i opened up a account in Binance. To invest 1500$ and get good returns due to this surge. Then he told me to open an account in http://www.algofxtrade.com and transfer bitcoins to the portals website . He said to contact the admin of algofxtrade and tell that he is the account manager to manage the trading. After i deposited the BTC in the algofxtrade wallet initially with 450$. The website gets a pop up that i have to deposit 1300$ more to use the account. The account manager Steven however said that he is starting the automatic robot trading and it requires 3-4 days to run the cycle. Then i researched in google that there is a big scam of this going on. I then asked him to give his ID and prove his identity , i also email the admin of the company to give their contact numbers to call. The whatsapp number just went to a voice mail. The company said they stopped doing mobile calls. They complained that my attitude isnt right and will stop the trade. For which i said go ahead stop the trade and to proceed with withdrawal. Suddenly another pop up comes on the site saying that i need to send my ID for verification. I sent my national id which they didnt want and asked for my passport or drivers license . I send them my drivers license photo and then they emailed that verification has permanently failed and that the name doesnt exactly match the name of the account which is false. They then said that i have to open another account put a small deposit and transfer the amount from the previous account into the new one. I clearly denied this and they were like this is the only way to get my money back . I am very frustrated with all this and quite embarrased that this happened to me. This is the bitcoin address they used 1BAA8si18Z3qxd7avujsaBSRRcfb3d56Bo Can anyone help to retrieve or catch these guys ?
