Scam victims

[velive08]

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

you should try to contact coinkast.io customer service for you to ask for clarity, because that is the only way so that your assets can be returned

Lots of newbies experience the same thing as you, because if you are a victim of crypto scams, it is almost impossible to recover your losses.
After all, some countries haven't legalized crypto yet, so there are no agencies to help you. Except the country where you live, crypto has been
legalized by the government, you can ask the police for help to track down the scammers who have tricked you. This is a lesson for all of us,
that don't invest in unpopular platforms. Like coinkast.io whose name I have never heard of.

this problem occurs very often. This is the weakness of crypto if you don't have your own legal entity to regulate crypto services, there will be many scammers and many victims in this case. So your best bet is to try contacting coinkast.io for an explanation

I am sorry but you are truly an idiot. How someone like you even manages to end up having that amount of money disgusts me. I wish I had that money, gosh what I could do with it. YOu just threw away a life changing amount to a scammer. That money went to a scammer instead of honest exchanges. People like you damage yourselves and the rest of us. It annoys me that if they took 100k from you how much from others? They can do one scam and retire.

Why on earth would you need a "package" to trade on an exchange? 5 trades / day?? Wtf are you kidding me?? People trade thousands of times. These packages cost up to 50k $$ holy hell these scammers aim high

"The minimum deposit amount will depend on the base currency of your account of $500 or its equivalent in EUR, GBR and AUD"

The minimum deposit is $500??? Lol so legit....

"Client's Testimonials" why would an exchange need this? Testimonials are a classic scam technique to make you think they are being vouched for and are trusted. Scams are always so desperate to prove they are legit. Legit exchanges do not need to tell you they are legit. It's just silly.

"We do not accept Fiat on our trading platform as we are fully a cryptocurrency organisation." Yet they ask for KYC? "You will need to provide a copy of a valid government-issued ID. (Passport, driver’s license, ID card)"
Typical for scammers to ask for KYC.

What were you thinking? Why did you fall for this? You deserve this and only have yourself to blame. I don't feel sorry for you.

You are even more stupid then I thought because not only did you just for for a scam you are about to fall for a second scam. You just asked if there is a plave you can go to that will help you get your funds back. Yes there are plenty and they are all scams. They double scam you. You haveto be a special kind of stupid to fall for those.

Your fund are gone there is nothing you can do that website can dissapear over night and now they know who you are where you live and have your money.

It's really sad to hear such an experience, most newbies are fooled by scammers. They are often victims because scammers take advantage of the newbie's desire to make money. There is very little chance for you to get your money back, this will serve as a lesson to you and next time be careful don't ever trust so easily.

That is a huge money. But like others, I don't think if there are resources to help recover your money. The best you can do, I guess, is that you work so that you can earn the money you lost. I hope you've learned from this. Never ever trust anything like that again. Do some research first. Remember, think before you click. Always be cautious.

I don't know what country you are in, but over $100 k is such huge money I will have second thought investing even $1000 to an exchange that is not even popular in the community, what made you decide to invest here when there are other options and those other options are big exchange with a good reputation, I doubt if you can get your money back the address on their webpage could be wrong better create a scam report, so people will be aware.

Most of the resources I've read about bitcoin warn against unrecognized exchange/trading platforms and explain that once they get your coins, it's almost impossible to get them back. If you can trace the owner of the platform and gather as much proof that you've been scammed as possible, there's a chance you can sue them and recover your losses.

yes, this is why it is also important for all of us here to be more careful about the things that happen with cryptocurrency. We do not know that we may end up too or  from the traps of scam activities or hacking site. The most important thing to be safe is to use offline or hardware wallet for those hackers and for the exchanges is one should bookmark legit exchange site, and or to make sure of using sites that has been known good and no bad reputation. Being aware makes everything fall into smoother doing business with cryptocurrency of any if its platform.

That is a very huge loss having 100K usd is not really a joke. If there is an agency that could help you this then you can go to the authority and they will forward you to the right agency for this. Have you tried this in your place to reach out the authority? If it does and no progress then you can ask the scammer directly to ask him politely to hand over your money and om exchange you will be giving him out depending on the percentage you wanted to give out to the scammer. But this is rarely going to happen. Scammer will always going for scam for they too are in great needs to support their vices or etc.

The address says they are from UK you can do a research if the address is really correct, you can write a formal letter from their host and if you can prove by sending them emails that they are abusing their server then they will take down the site and if you can get a court order you can have the names of the people that website, there is a note in any privacy policy of websites that they can provide information under special circumstances.

In op's case, he did not invest the whole $100k at once, the scammers were able to get that huge amount of money from op by asking him to continuously send money. But the thing is, I don't know why op kept sending them money and just ask for help when it reaches $100k when it's already suspicious if they asked you to send funds to release your fund in the first place.

Op can report it to their government authorities in this field to give warning to other people but it's unlikely to get back the money he lost. It's a pity but that's the consequence of trusting easily on an exchange without properly researching.

You are in a big crisis right now because if you have no solid proof that they scammed you and you have no other details on how to go after them then you have a very small chances in getting  your money back.

It will be better if you will just consider it as your big losses and move on as you will only spend more money again just to go after them which is very costly and the chances that your money will likely to be returned is still very slim.

     I feel so sorry for you man. I really am. Because I think there really is too little of a chance (if there is any) for you to be able to get back all those losses. This is because I too learned the hard way. It just so happened that I am lucky enough to not lose as much as what you have lost plus loans. That's why I really wish everyone who are just about to enter this industry would really put in the effort to do a thorough research about this industry. Because things like these happening only make the crypto currency industry look bad for the general public. Im not saying literally that you didn't do enough research because in some cases people just get caught off guard but you really should have been cautious. I hope others may learn from your story and be cautious about everything in this industry. Because it never hurts to be too cautious. Id rather be called paranoid than to lose my assets again.

Very well said. As I always tell those who are telling me that they want to start investing with cryptocurrency, always DOUBT everything first. In that way, you will investigate everything first before proceeding to any decisions. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. As per the recovery of your losses, I do not think that it will really be possible to get them back.

Start by sharing your experience about the company, with aim of warning others of the scam. This would give them a bad press. Share this on different platforms. You don't have to go in to details. Soon, your posts will be showing up on Google showing that the company is in the business of scamming people. Let them know that you've started the campaign (nobody likes a bad press)! Next report to the police as that is fraud. Then write them a letter before court action, giving them 14 days to reply. Make sure you've kept all the evidence of the efforts you've made to contact them and get them to settle the matter. If they don't reply to your letter, use the small claims court - Take them to court.
DISCLAIMER - This is not a legal advise. I am just telling you what I would do if I was in your shoes

[hongchao123]

Sorry, the only method to get this money back - go to the police and hope that somedays they will found scammers. In other words, your funds are lost permamently

[smyslov]

It always hurt when see people get scam of his Cryptocurrency what ever coin he is using, this is one of the risk of decentralization you cannot charge back, transactions are based on trusts, but we need to educate ourselves and do not trust easily there are a lot of benefits of decentralization than become a slave of centralization, this is a learning experienced for OP and for us who are reading this.

Little to no chance that your money will get back.
I feel sorry for your lost. That money isn't a joke. $100,000 is a huge money seriously especially for me .

What's worse is some of it are loans that you need to do just to get the money in that site but it turned out to be a scam site. Don't expect too much since it is very hard to track scams like this but maybe somebody can help you in any way possible.

Thank you in advance

The best approach  you could have done is to report to the right authority,to confirm if they are scammer or not before sending  money.
