Scam victims

[kotajikikox]

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

may i ask something?why does the amount need to hit 100k before you realized that it was a scam?
you are claiming about your funds and the site is asking you continuously to add more amount?
thats foolishness mate sorry for the word but that is is it.


If you are looking for the right agency?i believe that it is the cyber crime commission of your government to seek for your problem and claim.

It's really hard to turn back the money that has been stolen in this virtual world. When you are still having contact with that scammer then you better to block him or her, there are still some thoughts by scammers that they can still scam you so better not to entertain him anymore.
It's better to report the situation t the authority because they know the best thing to do with what happened to you.

After being scammed, you should now change your crypto wallet information, change your passwords, and impotent details. Make it a lesson for you, know how scammers approach a person so the next time it would happen again, you know what to do.

Holy cow $100,000 USD hurts a lot! I dont think my total earned money since birth even reached that. There is little chance to recover online scams since scammers should have started prepared. Unless you manage to trace the exact locations and get to identify the people behind the scam. The biggest amount I got scammed was about $1,000 USD from an exchange which I already forgot about.

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.

I felt it how to lose our money into someone that we think that can be trusted but somehow it is a person that also makes you suffered.
Ain't wonder why this drama will never have an end because many people are still living in scam ignorance and not even know how to learn from it. Because despite a lot of warnings that can be read anywhere but still they are still blinded to see the real possible situation.

There is no solution for this but just ourselves only. If we are able to understand how scamming works, it surely we can avoid it.

You cannot recover the money that you lost and there is no body able to help you and it is wrong to send more money to the fraudsters so you should forget about that money and start a new business and avoid the fraudsters because they will continue to exploit you and steal your money

This is the reason why scammers are full of nerves to continue to scam people endlessly because they are confident they cannot be traced or detected by the authorities and walk away and vanish like thin air. As always they will find again new ways to scam people all over again. To solve this, people should be more aware and be vigilant as a first defense form online scammers and by that ways of prevention, less people or no more victims will be in the future.

That really feels bad. Losing Cryptocurrency due to some scam and carelessness is some of the worst experience that can be experienced by users of the forum. Its also hard to report these kinds of issues since what we are chasing are people that are over the Internet and that can be hard since people can be around the World and not just the same country we are in. I guess another way to look for those people is by tracking their IP addresses? Since one way or another there can be tracks left by them.

Inexperience is what activates trust. Is not a good thing to be involved in scam on your coin, this is unfortunate. Most of us have experienced a thing as such because we were inexperienced. Lesson is to avoid what looks too good being true.

Mate, are you kidding here? How do you pay fees to release funds from an exchange? A legit exchange will never ask you to pay fees to release your funds from their website, rather they will look for ways to solve your problem, that’s if it’s within their reach to solve that problem, but as for a problem that they can’t solve they will let you know that they can’t solve, for example – sending money to a wrong address.

I don’t get how people tell you all to be paying fees to get your funds back and you keep giving extra money to them. I have seen another newbie talk about this before, though he didn’t fall for it. He invested $3k in a fake exchange and they asked for $1,500 to get his funds back, but he was smart enough to suspect that something is wrong.

I feel a little what you feel, I pray for you. There is really only a small chance that your money will come back, you can try to trick "scam" them back with a little threat and if you can find out their location then that would be better. Cybercrime is difficult for individuals to handle, try asking for help from some people that you know who can help you for free, maybe a friend who is an expert in cybersecurity. I don't want to scold you because I can't come up with a solution for you

Actually yes ..
If cybercrime does not stand still and is developing rapidly, then the authorities that must fight it and prevent crimes are developing very slowly, if they do not stand still.

[VanityWallets2015]

This is saddening to know. Scammers won't really stop unless they know that they will be caught.
Lack of experience could lead to such events and let us all observe extraordinary diligence.
You are lucky if you have some who's expertise is cyber security, and I think that is one of the steps for solution.

[cTrade]

Unfortunately, most cybersecurity professionals are scammers. It’s hard to admit, but it’s true that those people who help to protect themselves, they will then "make" you.

This problem often occurs in the crypto world; Proportionately newbies here are more vulnerable to scammers for their ignorance. To my knowledge it is almost impossible to recover money from being the victim of a crypto scam. From here, things get trickier, and this is where the true learning begins! There will also be little benefit from legal action here; However you can try contacting coinkast.io customer service,   they may be able to help you get your assets back.

I think only the cyber crime commission in your country will help you to know who is that scammer that take away your money. $100k is really a huge amount and it's difficult to pay debt or loans. I hope you will recover your money even you have only a little hope to recover it and even it was not yet complete because I'm sure the scammer spent already some of your money.

This is the drawbacks of being  pseudonymous, you get in a pseudonymous network get scammed by pseudonymous people. Self-teaching is the best counter move for this one, if you know what you are doing then you are less likely to be scammed. If you know who you are dealing with like reputable escrow service provider then you are less likely to be scammed. At the end of the day your security lies in you, to yourself, not with exchanges, not with your passwords or every thing, it is no your decision making.

I guess another way to look for those people is by tracking their IP addresses? Since one way or another there can be tracks left by them.

IP isn't reliable most of the time, do you think these hackers or scammers will use their IP that can be easily traced by the authorities?
The only way we can get them is when they leave a footprint or a hole where we can see them.

It is a pity to write such words, but there is a slight chance to get something that you lost. Because to prove your losses or to find persons that will be able to return your lost assets is extremely hard in most cases. And of course there are some agencies that investigate such cases I am sure but not so many people can tell us the happy results of such investigations. I lost assets when I started in crypto world because I did not have the experience in this direction. But I would like to admit that even having the good experience nobody will guarantee you that you will be secured from losses. So just forget. And be very attentive and more selective next time..

[proscratcher]

There are definitely lots of scams out there. I've been scammed before and I just decided to move on with my life. It was a total waste of time if you try to track down those scammers in my opinion. Holding a grudge against them will only hurt you.

[jekanmasin]

If you get scam by those scammer then there was nothing you can do about it. Just keep walking and forget it. i know it hurt but there was nothing you can do. That why newbies that wanna to make a trading on exchanges need to know which one is legit and which one is not. Also be safe where you wanna put your money on. There was no turning back after you put your money at the exchanges. That why you being told many time to use money that you can afford to lose.

There are lots of scam and once you've been victimized then you don't have any other choice but to move forward
and continue life, treat the experienced as building blocks to succeed from anything that you desire to achieved.

It was a total waste of time if you try to track down those scammers in my opinion. Holding a grudge against them will only hurt you.

You'll keep regretting the experienced if you keep truing to chased them down, be practical and learn from this mistake
you'll still have good life if you choose to proceed and find the right ways.

You have been scammed by another of the many scams that have infiltrated the crypto world today. I do believe that as much as this is painful and disappointing, you have learnt your lessons. Sites or schemes that promise double of an investment or free money should avoided in order not to learn the bitter truth.
It is only unfortunate that there is no one or agency that can help you  recover these funds. I only wish you didn't have to take out loans get the money requested by the scam site
