Scam victims

[Eugenar]

Do you know of any resources to help victims of crypto scams recover their losses?

I was a victim of one made by coinkast.io where they had me pay more money to release my funds and then they kept adding additional fees... so basically I lost $100k+ and I need to recover it someone especially since much of that were loans I took out.

Any help or links to agencies that can help would be appreciated...

Thank you in advance

Since it is an online investment, sad to say but it would be close to impossible to get your money back. Informations are limited and anonymity is protected to most of the online investments especially those that are related to cryptos. First move you may try is to look for the project's country origin if possible. Cryptocurrencies are not that much being given attention especially to countries wherein it is not legal. Another thing to do is to look for the names of people behind that project, also if possible, wherein you may start tracing down. But this would be tough for sure. Goodluck!

Sorry about your loss man but to be honest with you there is absolutely no way for you to get your funds back especially in ICOs and IEOs. What you need to do next time is to make sure that whatever funds you are investing in any project is something you can afford to lose and also the project is worth investing in. So you might want to consider things like use cases, token economics,  experienced team members etc.

theres few ico befofe that offers money back guarantee service. if only he is a part of those he will stil get his funds back but those kind of projects are mostly legit and secured because its thier lost if they dont let things flow according to thier plan  .

unfortunately most projects that are popping out are not as good as the projects that i mention above and people blindly invest on them  . once they loose , its hard to recover what they lost

In this case you cant do anything about it but to move on.
Its a huge money indeed but it already happened, so use that experience as a lesson to not trust easily and be careful because its your hard-earned money.

I think most of us already experience becoming victimized of scam but managed to forget those unfortunate situation and recover what we have lost by striving and working hard.

[Bes19]

I don't think there is a specific agency that could help you. There is no chance of getting your money back since this is an online investment. Just take it as a lesson that invest what you can afford to lose and use only those exchanges that already have a name in crypto.

[BuNga_cute]

Most crypto is not regulated by the government, so it is very difficult when we fall victim to scams to recover from losses.
In other words we have to give up and move on. And this is a lesson for all of us not to use capital from loan money.
So the only agencies that can help you are the police, but there's no guarantee you can get your money from scammers.

[pixie85]

When you ask about authorities who deal with these types of crimes you need to contact cyber a police cyber crime division. They deal with online scams and should be able to help you. If the company that scammed you was registered and is still operating maybe there's a chance to get some money back. Many people were able to win court cases against scammers.

[Question123]

Why did you trust again and send deposited to them because if they are real project not need to do that and that obviously is a scam.
A legit project will not adding more funds to their investors once they withdraw we should learned about this . $100k is huge and we don't know if it's go back again or not but make sure next time just be careful and think more before depostiting again of your money to every investment or project.

If the ones you got involved with is a crypto related scam, then honestly, you might be losing hope of getting your funds back because at the first thing, you must have already know that it is a full of risks doing transaction in relation with cryptocurrencies for once you have done a transaction and it was already confirmed, then there is no turning back. Getting into a scam which relates to crypto currency usage have a very small possibility to none that you can still be able to get your funds back for what you are having a transaction with is a stranger with an anonymous personality that if things get worst even if he told you his identity might be a fake one or a stolen identity from someone.

Actually at the first time they have asked you for additional payment for claiming your profit into the once you have invested with is that the first thing that must come into your mind that it is already a scam. But instead, you keep on sending them payments that costs you a lot which must have been prevented or avoided if you already let go instead of keep pushing to claim it that already costs you a lot of money spent. Seriously with such cases, you are already having no hopes because that was a clear scam and that scammer must have run together with your funds. This must be a lesson to you not to get fooled once again by obvious scams of asking you lots of payments because the first time they did, it was already a scam

So you have fallen into these trading plans?



Sorry to say but it would really be a long process to take legal actions on this one.You can still possibly get some help but
go to your local cybercrime division and ask on what are the possible actions that you can file up on them but since
due to anonymity aspect of this market its indeed a hard stuff.

"Stepping into his shoes"

Sad chronology of a user who suffers from scam:

-//////////Google Search: "Scam victims"/////////////-
So. They come to bitcointalk, when they scam it.

-/Why not come before, if you can do it after the incident. I'm not trying to judge ... but./-

-////////////Registers at August 03, 2020, 04:35:15 PM////////////////////-

I guess you spent an hour reading trying to find information ... I don't think it took an hour
in your OP.

After about 16 minutes he receives his first Reply; someone who surely understands him better than person  from the offline world.

Reply #5 his answer appears. At least it did not stay in only the OP, at least he had the honesty to tell more in that second answer ... I have seen many cases like yours ... on my local dashboard it happens, on all local dashboards for sure at least once someone came with a similar story, but with the same sad ending, Scam/ripped off.

That tells me that you only read up to post #10 /

From here on, this already happens to support future readers, I include myself.

but I hope and you come back, users like you who overcome these scams, both psychologically and economically, they should be examples of fraud, not just theorists who explain and they give an exemplary class on how this should not happen they should be here in the forum.

So ... history after the fraud,  It is so very important to study it, to know it from its own bad experience.
In short, can you become a user who helps others based on your bad experience. In short, take this forum from now on like it didn't before.

One should always read about scams, the worst scam to come is the one we don't know about, it seems obvious ... is so painful, like saying, "how i didn't see it coming"

There are so common scams, like yours, that many of us get vaccinated against it, but that does not make us immune, that's why
mistrust and information in the long term are the best immunity by 99.99%

You took the right decision after doing the wrong by asking this question. If you had asked the question first I am cocksure you would've been armed not to fall victim to those scumbags. It's obvious you fell for fraudsters. Again, don't just use any exchange that comes up or dangles enticing discounts before you. In most cases they don't deliver on their promises. You may want to check Coinmarketcap. Sorry for your loss. And I hope you learnt your lesson, anyway.

Agree that its a long, tiring process. Sorry to hear this but you really lose a lot. Its a good thing though that you posted about it cause you are helping other users by exposing the scam. I hope we could really help but I don't know any other way. They said it already, report it to your local cybercrime office so they are informed already. I hope you learn a lot from this. Try researching about something before jumping into it. It will save you money and time.

[Gotumoot]

It is so hard to recover those scam money I think you should have done some research before putting a huge amount on the site.
It is the most important thing to do whenever you are investing or just simple putting money anywhere,
It is the first thing that we would do even when we are going to open a savings in the bank we would ask some people around us or even search if they are a good one or there are even better banks to use.

[audaciousbeing]

The only thing I can add is that you spoke up too late and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it. Crypto space is one that is so not organized that you are responsible for your own safety as far as your funds is concerned to the extent that you view every service, projects, or promotion with a default skeptical view.

[finaleshot2016]

So basically, you are sending more money to the scammers who scammed your money but they are still demanding more and you're still sending more money to them without having a second thought on why you are sending more even though they are obviously trying to just keep it.

The best approach that you could do is to report it to the authority. Nothing else you could do there.

authority? can you please tell me what authority is in charge of crypto crime. because this really helps a lot of people who experience the same thing in crypto, so I think you can explain everything here. please your review is very helpful

It depends on what country you are in. But if you're trying to know if there's one, yes there are many authorities that are in charge of cryptocurrency crimes. In our country, SEC or Securities and Exchange Commission who handles ponzi and scam platforms that operate in our countries.

You can report a platform so they will prohibit the operation of the website but you will not recover your loss because it's in the blockchain.

[AicecreaME]

The first question I'm gonna ask is where did you find that website? who introduced it to you?

If you accidentally found it on google, when you are searching for something you can invest for, something like that, I guess the first thing you would search next is "is this site (the one you mentioned) legit?" so that so can have an idea if your money is safe with them or not.

If someone introduced it to you, like a friend or an acquaintance, then you should ask them or should I say put the blame on them because maybe they were a part of that scam.

The money you've risked for them could take a lot of time and effort to get back when you're going to report it to the authority, let's just hope they would be serious about your case when you submit it to them. This could be a long chase because scammers online is pretty tough to find.

There's a guy on youtube who were revealing scammers (I don't know if he's a legit one or not) but give it a try. He might give you a hand if he is a legit one.

That's sad. Some sites are disguised as exchange, casino, etc. The possibilty that you can recover your funds is very little. Next time, do not trust these kind of sites. Legit sites will only deduct the transaction fee from your funds and if ever that it doesn't meetthe amount needed then that's the time to deposit some cash and withdraw it.

Didn't you notice that it is already a scam the moment that they kept adding additional fees? Don't let yourself be fooled when you encountered some of these sites again.

Apparently there's little chance for you to recover your money since first you are dealing a online investment which scammers can hide easily.

State on which country are you on maybe there people are people here can help you out atleast file a complaint regarding on the incident happen to you.

And also next time don't easily believe on easy earning schemes since mostly all of them are 100% scam.

That's one of the issues of people who are in a hurry to make a profit, they do not take time to do a research and they do not ask first if the project is release, the hardest thing is they keep asking for additional money to scam their victims, they are like a leech they will not let you go until your last blood.

I have not heard nor read about the site better create a scam accusation about this website in the scam section so other people will be warned.

Why need to reach $100k before realizing that you are a Scam victim?
where in the world that you need to pay more money just to get your own Funds?this is inappropriate for either newbies or old timer here in crypto.

The only thing I can add is that you spoke up too late and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it. Crypto space is one that is so not organized that you are responsible for your own safety as far as your funds is concerned to the extent that you view every service, projects, or promotion with a default skeptical view.

That is also my concern why need to take long time before this happens?

But OP is asking for agencies that can help Them at least file cases in real life against sites that scams them.
Lucky that i never become a victim and will never be one .
