This is why I don’t like to respond to emails, or messages from unknown users or persons. Any message I receive, and it happens that I don’t know anything about the message, I simply delete them immediately, and also mark them as spam.
I don’t know why you will be receiving such strange codes, and you keep replying to the sender.
Yes I also do not reply to any person who provide me some offers in my emails, As I think at that time I have not shared my email with such a company or organization then why they contacted me, you also only respond to them from where you apply for job.

my only question is " why the fuck do i need a job while I am sitting on almost 300K USD ?(425 BTC + 30,000 LTC) " Smiley  I mean...it's not a fortune in USA or Canada or Europe but anyway...you can open a small local biz, you can do many things but not getting a....fk job  Huh Huh Grin

Dude don't you understand OP probably has an admiring job already. He may own his own business or work in hedge fund.



then why he wanted to apply for a ....job? Smiley

I think someone offer him a job without he applying. The job only asking 2 or 3 hours per week. It seems very undemanding and good pay? I don't know.

Yeah mate hackers are pretty smart with their schemes nowadays. I have gotten a lot of phishing emails too for a lot of websites I have accounts at. I sometimes wonder how they find my main email address and associated accounts as I am trying to limit its online exposure as much as possible for security reasons. And I don't know if hackers have gotten smarter or we have gotten more gullible but having a little common sense to stay away from obvious malicious attacks doesn't hurt either.

if it's too good to be true, then it probably is Smiley  . Normally, if you are sitting on 300K USD you would not be interested about an online offer.

that's why BTC will never be "mainstream" but a very, very small niche. The normal persons will never use it because there is NO reason to do it. imagine that this thing would happen with your bank account. you will have the money back in matter of days; same with a debit/credit card. the normal people need the peace of the mind because not everybody is a a computer geek.

Cash will never be "mainstream". Someone steals your cash and you can't get it back. It's just too geeky. Normal people can't use it.

You do understand that most people wouldn't think of carrying around a quarter of a million dollars (in cash) in their pocket, correct?
That there are disruptive technologies such as banks and debit cards, which were invented specifically to avoid such dangerous idiocy?

Granny knows enough not to carry a quarter of a million dollars in her purse.
Junior wouldn't whip out a quarter of a million when he scores some cheap crank.
And yet [purportedly] tech savvy crypto enthusiasts keep *more* than a quarter of a million on the MacBook they use to score rock in the projects at 3 in the morning browse the web & download malware.
 Sad
Yes, it is much risky to keep a quarter of a million dollar in our purse, as at that time the world is going to be rich with scammers and thieves, we can carry a big amount only if we have a good security of some gunmen.

This example of bad security practices should serve as a warning to everyone with stored Bitcoins on their computers to make the effort to transfer their stash to cold storage like a paper wallet or a dedicated hardware wallet and don't use their main wallet on their daily work device be it a desktop a laptop or a smartphone. I only have hot wallets with small amounts of Bitcoin on my mobile devices and at the end of the week I am transferring everything I don't need to my cold storage so if someone manages to breach my system the damage would be very small anyways.

Like other people said, this scammer is someone who knows you...or I think the guy stalked you and researched you and then pulled a social engineering job. 

Think about all the people who know you have a lot of btc.  And I mean A LOT!  I have at most had 30, and I thought that was a lot!  Think of any online friends and see if you can use trace the info- ip addresses, blockchain, and see if you can piece it together...

While it won't get you're btc back (it could, tho) you should consider filing a complaint with the feds.

But back to the case
You say it is personal. Make sure to make a list of person you suspect. Gather all information in a document, so you won't forget. Make sure to update the doc everyday.
Sent the doc to the polic.

With this kind of money they will transfer it to a higher authority.

Best of luck mate.

Perhaps family? Little Shnookums? Always there, looking, peeking, scribbling something with crayons? Does she *really* have to make so many so-called "drawings"?

That hacker knows you and maybe among your circle of friends online because hacker knows that you have that amount of BTC stashed somewhere. You may have been in his/their radar for quite sometime and he/they may have been following your online activities.

What I don’t know is if the person is still replying to his messages, if he does, maybe try to explain to him, and know whether he might consider sending back his bitcoins, though, that might be impossible. But sometime may work out to recover...

Let this be a lesson to everyone to keep your street smarts about you: why would somebody email you from a generic domain with a job offer without a good story? What is interactivebrokers.com anyway, does it have a homepage? haha... You downloaded and opened a lot of stuff through email, you kind of deserve it. At least you checked if the email was spoofed. Better luck next time.

Well firstly it's hard for me to feel bad for you since, you haven't even mentioned where or how you found this job and you claim they have your info yet fail to explain why ? Also you downloaded a file from a website without a domain, then you get a warning from your browser then you warned not to download the file but you still went ahead and did it anyway. I don't think anyone can help you since you not explaining anything at all.

I did not know how they know my personal information.  and I did not get any warning when I download or open files.
probably you post your personal information on your account, maybe facebook account or the others.

I wonder why did you just download and open the file without concerning about hackers. I mean, you have high amount of BTC, didn't you try to keep them save? Make high security, don't download or open files you don't know exactly.

next time I hope you will be more careful. sorry for your loss.

That's why it's much better to keep it to your self on how much Bitcoins do you have and you have a separate wallet to keep and put those idle Bitcoins to keep it safe. With 1 person knowing you have that amount of Bitcoin somewhere, they will be tempted to try and hack their way in your wallet. They may have even hired a good hacker to force their way in since they expect a lot of Bitcoins there.
