Scam victims

[insomnyak]

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

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.

I didn't familiar with that exchange and once I didn't familiar with an exchange I will not use it, IMO. With this site, https://coinkast.io/ isn't it?

Based on this review, there someone claiming that this site is a scam. So, there's a doubt that the exchange you've used is a scam.

Anyway, you can move this to Scam Accusations and provide strong evidence towards them. Screenshot or transaction ID of your $100k deposited on that site.

Or probably you can contact them on the given address and contact number on the main page of the site.

From who.is the site says.

Code:

Name : NameSilo, LLC
Whois : Serverwhois.namesilo.com
Referral URL : https://www.namesilo.com/
Status: clientTransferProhibited https://www.icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited

It looks like a bought website.

Sorry for your loss but I don't think you will recover your fund.

www.coinkast.io exchange is a scam and pretty sure you can get your money back from them.  But how I wonder why you put that trust easily, I'm not sure if you are doing a research before putting our money. To be honest with you, you have been fooled by their promises.

Sorry but there is nothing. Only a good heart will send you some sats but not guarantee that they will make it unless if the give sympathy with you.

[insomnyak]

So they showed me a demo of their bot. Afterwards, I made a small investment and I saw my account size double everyday. Rather than waiting for my first withdrawal... i don't know why I was so blind... I guess it was a moment of weakness... but the promise of even bigger returns consumed me and I invested more. When I could finally withdraw, I was hit with fees that I couldn't pay. I took out loans to pay the fees, and then I was hit with another fee. Yea, I was fooled... Just trying now to recover anything that I can...


Thank you for the suggestion. I'll try Scam Accusations.

[Sanitough]

You can go after this company if what they posted in their website is true.

You lose money because of a scam, you can sue them but for proper guidance, go ask a lawyer, at least you have the information now.

As what I read about this site, there are a lot of bad reviews, so I doubt why you are using this site in the first place.

[harizen]

Oh my, that was a huge money and can't believe you risk that amount without undergoing self-research about the site.

Don't take our comments negatively as in whatever ways, there is a low chance you will recover your money. The company might be operating behind fake information on their site details. If there any ways you can reach them thru their stated contact information, you can try it.

You can also consult your country's cybercrime group and see what they can do although like I said, there is a slim chance you will recover your money but you can give it a try. Sorry for the loss and I can't imagine what feeling you have right now.

I had my wallet sweept once 8m after recieving funds, I filled a fbi complaint and contacted each single exchange and gambling site I know for tagging the two involved addresses.
I doubt it will help recovering but surely will get the respective addresses under an eye.
As harizen said on the upper post you should contact your country's cyber crime group.

[cabron]

Who brought you to that exchange?

The story keeps repeating over and over. That kind of scam had been around for years, its like your funds are being held for ransom but they got everything from you. Too bad you can't easily get those back. This is why I don't trust websites with clients testimonials to it because it's there for the purpose of bewitching unsuspecting users.

So sorry, there's no such thing in crypto as transaction is irreversible.

Classic scammer move here. Let this be a lesson for you, damn, $100k is a big chunk of money specially in this pandemic. Charge this to your experience and next time don't make a loan just to invest because there's always that very big risk involved.

[Heart18]

That money can absolutely go a long way! I hope you must be aware and be careful next time. It was so obvious that this is a total scam, haven't you notice from the start? Once you were being ask for an amount of money to pay, you must pause for a while and think it over. Be wise enough in dealing with this kind of stuff. Money is so hard to find and you need to work hard for it, and during this pandemic, it matters most to us. In addition to that, i dont actually know, where or whom we can report or sue this scammers...i hope all the opinions can help you solve and recover your money back. Be careful next time.

[Little Mouse]

I really see no reason why you had invested again before trying to withdraw fund, why you had deposited again as a term of fee and again. The way you told that you were getting good return was too good to be true.
Anyway, you can proceed with legal actions if you want to. Contact with local police, lawyer to get help for the procedure.

[Darker45]

You've got to start somewhere. Either consult a lawyer or report this to your local policeman or your country's bureau of investigation. From there, you will be advised where to go next or what the next best step is.

People here cannot provide you the necessary links of agencies because nobody knows which country you are from.

Finally, let this be a lifetime lesson for you: never ever borrow money for the sake of investment. Investment has risks. It is always a possibility that your investment will lose instead of gain. May I say this for the nth time, invest only what you can afford to lose.

[Wexnident]

Give it up? If it were a more known one then you might have a chance to actually apply for legal charges, but the site seems to be relatively unknown. Even review sites had no records to base upon and most reviews that I found were actually just spam. If you still want to try to, look for a legal team in the UK so that it's easier to visit the scammers location, dunno if it's legit though since it states that their office is located there. I'm not being rude or anythiing, but when you paid for more than $50k to return what you invested should have been plenty enough of a signal to identify that what you're dealing with is a scammer. No legit trading platform out there would ask for money to send you your money back.

[mk4]

You recover your losses simply by making the money back. There's no special agency that's going to help you earn it back. Go get a job, start a business, get gigs, all that jazz.

If you're referring to a service that could literally take back your coins that got stolen, you might want to move on instead because the chances of you getting your coins back is next to zero.

[Yogee]

Be careful if you receive a private message offering you their FRAUDULENT bitcoin recovery service. Do not be another victim of another scam. Read this thread for more information https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5265067.msg54885257#msg54885257

The company name and the address posted by others are most likely fakes too but you can give it a shot. Darker45's suggestion is your best option.

$100k is not a small amount of money and browsing on the web I found this.

Report fraud and other suspicious activity involving cryptocurrency, or other digital assets to:

> the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint
> the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) at 866-366-2382 or at CFTC.gov/TipOrComplaint
> the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at sec.gov/tcr

https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-know-about-cryptocurrency#:~:text=blocking%20software%20installed.-,Report%20Scams,or%20at%20CFTC.gov%2FTipOrComplaint

You were really fold it was an obvious scam knowing that your investments double in just a matter of day. I don't know if you can still get back what you've lost but at least try that's a huge amount of money.

That can be a viable option, but the money that was conned is so many that I think he will not stop until he finds the culprit which is unlikely because it happened in cryptospace. Plus in the first place the red flags are indicated by OP.

pay attention. there are fake agencies that claim to be able to give back your money or provide a sort of legal help. But they are just scam and will try to scam more money from you.

No one can be able to retrieve crypto from a blockchain. The only solution could be a legal action or a police investigation that help you to identify these people/try to recover your sum loss.
They are already online... I want suggest also to open a scam accusation thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
Explaining your issue and avoid other people get scammed

[meanwords]

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.
