So everything is in the title.
What can you do when you have been scammed ? what are your possibilities to recover your funds, I mean here in the community, excepting going and report to the police.
With Bitcoins, transactions cannot be reversed. So always use escrow, if you are dealing in large amounts. |

There is nothing you can do. Even you would report it to police as cyber crime, they can do much.. It's really hard to track these guys..

It depends. The best course of action is prevention. Also, there is value in learning from past mistakes. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, security is paramount. |

If I got scammed, all I need to do is to move on, because there is no way for me to get it back because greedy people will not allow that to happen. I believe in law of karma and that people will face it, always be careful on dealing with people because in this kind of market everyone is prone to get scammed.

At the moment it's very hard to report scams, especially if you're sending crypto. that's why it's important to be extra careful when sending funds.

Recovering the funds is definitely out of the questions but I have some spiritual avenues that will ensure that the scanner doesn’t easily take my money for granted and will suffer the consequences. |

If you are consumed by the seduction of a scam service then it is your own fault because you are not careful to invest your money in the form of digital assets. It is very difficult also we can get the loss because the authorities to crack down on the crime have difficulty to track the perpetrators if the service is anonymous status. So, we better be careful in making investments because the internet is very vulnerable to fraud.

Having a new account doesn't make things more secure. Getting hacked is different from scammed these two have the same objective but different in execution. I was scammed before and it ruined my day because there's not much that I can do about it after he ran away with my money. What I did after getting scammed is spread awareness by sharing the incident that happened to me so there could be less victims and that served me a lesson when I transact with strangers online. If the incident happened here in the forum make a thread on the scam accusation board so that he'll get negative feedback/reputation from dt members |

You have to accept that you will not get your money back. Sure report it to the police/FBI. But don't expect anything to come of it. Before sending BTC or other, always check who you are buying from thoroughly. Search intensively about the person or website on this forum. Check the listed confirmed scams here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1978151.0;topicseenUse escrow. If your not sure about the deal then don't send the payment! |

 Common! Did you say police? Common! How is that possible? Bitcoin or cryptocurrency business is decentralized and that means it is globally transacted. You can only have the wallet address of the coin you sent your fund to but you might not be able to trace or see the receiver physically. That means police is out of it for now that regulation has not come. Although, someone can be lucky to get it sent back if it was sent in error to a nice person but if it is a hacker, you just move on because a hacker is on his business. |

Being scammed is a difficult and a very big problem that needs a big and good solution. Getting started is a little bit harder that will be needing more hardwork. If i am being scammed i will be more careful with my actions and verify all the things that i need to do before making a decision. |

Some things to consider is if you know the person, the whereabouts and some other important information that you can trace him. Otherwise, it will be hard to recover the funds if its an unknown person that you sent your btc to. All i can say is, be careful who you transact to next time. Move on if you hold no important information with that scammer and try to recover your losses in some other ways, like trading, mining, and staking. |

If I experienced to be scam , I will make sure that it will not happened again and I will surely know everything that I've been working to. And need to be more educated when it comes to bitcoin I need to understand more than than is to ask someone and check if the person im working with is trusted so it will never happened again. |

You should report it because if you don't do something, the criminals will just keep doing the same thing over and over again to other victims. There are organizations out there that want to help you. The one is the ICCC or the Internet Crime Complaint Center that you can report the online extortion, identity theft, hacking, Economic Espionage and other major cyber crimes.
