I assume pts is some alt-coin; I have that whole subforum ignored. Some coin where the "developer" or the site you were using to send yourself money didn't do basic network byte checks before allowing an address to be used.

Depending how the alt-currency is set up, you may be able to export the private key for that Bitcoin address and import it to the scamcoin wallet to receive the sent coins.

if pts is an alt-coin, then I think what you actually did was sent your pts to another address which is the same as your bitcoin address but is actually another address for pts. In any case if you sent coins to an address which you don't control, then you can't get them back.

If that address was a valid protoshares address which you don't own, then you can't get those coins back, i'm afraid.

Depending on how the alt-coin has appropriated the Bitcoin code, he might have a "valid protoshares address", and just needs to turn the private key of the Bitcoin address into something that can spend the alt-coin. There is a thread or two floating around of recovering namecoins sent to a bitcoin address or such.

It could maybe be possible like the user above has said, just try and find a tutorial for use with other altcoins and apply the same concept.
