WERE YOUR STOLEN BITCOINS EVER RETURNED????

[Sithara007]

I know once you are scammed and robbed,its hard to reverse the Bitcoin Transaction ! But any of you were ever scammed and were returned your bitcoins by the scammers ! This is not a great topic but was curious if there is a Robinhood in the scammers ! Guys I meant scammers,few mine bitcoins few use their hard earned moeny to buy bitcoins,please dont grab away from the innocent souls !!

I have been scammed a few times with cryptocurrencies. Many of my friends also have similar experience. And in none of the cases, the money was returned. And I don't know a single incidence in which the scammers returned the stolen money. They don't need to fear anyone. Cryptocurrency offers them anonymity to a certain extent and the advantage is that they can do all these hacking from thousands of miles away. In less than 0.01% of the cases, the law enforcement authorities will be able to get hold of them.

So far I never heard that there are scammers who returned the money to the owner. I guess this kind of scenario will never happen in the future especially that someone who steals really need an easy money and once they can steal from someone they will surely use it.

Money is everything in this world, you can buy anything that has a value if you have the money therefore it is very rare that someone will return the money especially the scammer. As you can see, scammers are also very patient and it doesn't matter for them whether how long it takes for them to create some code to bypass the other security in order to steal some money. Therefore it is not so easy to steal money from other and that is the main reason why the scammers will not return the money that they successfully stole.

There were some instances but very rare like this one

The cyberattacker believed to be responsible for a 51 percent on the Ethereum Classic (ETC) blockchain has returned $100,000 in stolen proceeds, while keeping roughly $1 million.

According to Gate.io, the funds were returned last week but it is not known why the cryptocurrency has been returned, or for what purpose -- and efforts to contact the hacker have proved fruitless so far. 

I had no bitcoins stolen from me in the first place but if I did I wouldn't expect the thief to feel remorse and send it back. Such things almost never happen.

Maybe it's because I don't have much faith in humanity.

lol no.
and the worst part is that i have never been hacked and it wasn't a hacker that stole my money, it was an exchange called Bittrex and they stole thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin and some altcoins from me and millions from a lot of other users like me and they never paid any of us back. they simply stole it and got away with it.

I first entered the world of cryptocurrency in 2012. During my initial years, I was really immature and inexperienced. I lost huge amount of coins, that I accumulated through hard work. In none of the cases, these coins were returned to me at a later point of time. A few instances are listed below:

1. Lost around 30 BTC after investing in BTCT.co, which was the Bitcoin version of the crypto-stock exchange Litecoinglobal. The exchange closed down suddenly and my shares (BTCT-AT) became worthless.
2. Lost close to 1 BTC when instawallet closed down suddenly.
3. Lost coins while investing in LABCOIN, Quark.etc
4. Lost coins when Mt Gox closed down
5. Incurred losses when Cryptopia closed down.

I've been scammed once and it's my biggest mistake in my crypto life, well I'm a newbie back so it's understandable. Well scammers are everywhere and i don't any scammer will give back what it already gets especially with a valuable cryptocurrency like bitcoin.

damn exchange, really your fate. I'm sure you have been careful to avoid hackers and individual scamers. if any exchange do scaming is unexpected, because cases like this rarely occur. Imagine even an exchange as a corporation scaming, this mean we need put more caution cannot trust anyone in this business.

I was lucky enough that none of my bitcoins got stolen but if you count scam ico's i participated, i never saw that bitcoins again.

If something stolen on the blockchain, it is nearly guaranteed you will never see them again.

[fiulpro]

Tragically it can never happen, even if you put up a note that you are really poor and it's your whole life savings , it won't matter much to them.

They actually worked hard to hack your wallet , finally succeeded and then to go down to return that money ? They won't do that , they are people blinded by money and doesn't care where it's coming from .

Unfortunately, don't trust anyone and don't let anyone know how many Bitcoins , you are holding.

be careful with borders or the like, as far as I know there is currently no good person who can return the stolen bitcoin, we all day guard and be careful of the rampant thieves

[ethereumhunter]

I don't have an experience of that. But I have experience from being scammed, and the money was not returned to me. I don't think that the scammers will return the money to the victims because they will not think about that. Maybe there is Robinhood that will return that money to people, but I don't think that is many of them. If it's related to the money, only a few people will realize that stolen from other people is bad and they will give back the money to the owner.

Well, someone stole my credit card details and they used it for digital online purchases and I never saw that money again.    I promised myself that I would cancel my credit card and that I would never get a credit card again .... and I have not had a credit card since then. 

I also take every precaution necessary now to protect my bitcoins from hackers and scammers. <I type my URL's and I store the majority of my coins in cold storage>

Scammers are not in this game to return stolen or scammed money, they could care less about who you are and how long you have been working for those coins and what your circumstances are. 

[samcrypto]

I once been scammed and lost a huge amount of bitcoin. I do anything i could but i cant really know how to get my bitcoin back. Even crowd sourcing isnt enough. This becomes a life long lesson in me and ive done all i can do to secure my resources now. So far im doing a good job.

[pawanjain]

While I have not seen any scammer return bitcoins to the victim, I have actually read an article where a thief stole money from an old lady and returned it to her.
The old lady was withdrawing money from an ATM and the thief was waiting outside the ATM just when the lady got the money the thief barged in stole the money from her.
Just when he snatched the money, he looked in the ATM to find out the low balance of lady and then he returned the money to the lady left.
He was caught by the cops though since the incident was captured on CCTV.

It our responsibility to secure our money in the first place, if we ever get scammed its our own fauly. I got scammed for more than 5 times, and I know its my fault. Its not that hard to reverse the payments we did, we just don't have the capability to do it. no reverse option when it comes to btc transactions unlike in banks.

Really? This is the first time I have heard that the scammers returned the money they stole, most of the time they just run instantly without a trace

It is not possible to return money from scammer or hacker. My wallet was hacked in 2018 and lost my lifetime income. I am trying to move my coin but i cannot do this because the hacker is stronger than me.So i forget this and try to rebuild my life so i suggest to forget this and start to new life.

Its better to move on than to let your past bring you down. We cant help once your wallet was hacked, just put your wallet to safety the next time and use that experience to avoid being scammed again. Its impossible to make it back you will just waste your time, better to use your time to move forward.

I recovered most of the coins I invested in a mining contract in 2011 because I was persistent, almost everyone else who left money with that person didn't get anything, or only a small percentage back.

In the history of bitcointalk there have been a few scammers to return or start returning some of the stolen or defruaded money after a while, I think the most recent one is TradeFortress.

I had similar experience with that exchange, some of my coins are frozen there I can't withdraw them, they are asking to provide doc and activate my account before I can have the possibility to withdraw those coins. I told them I don't wanna use their exchange anymore I just want my money back and they refused. Bittrex is really a bad exchange to trade, I am glad that binance take over the market.
