What to do if you get scammed!

[seoincorporation]

There is a Jamiroquai song to play if you get scammed.

Bitcoin is not paypal... transactions are not reversible, once the transaction is confirmed your coins are gone.

Same with other altcoins.

So, if you get scammed, play that song, is the best thing to do. As i always say, bitcoin leassons arent chep at all.

I hope this will be done once only. Getting scammed is extremely devastating, so for the sure a person will learn something about it.
Another action that is much better to do is share what they experience, besides listening to that kind of music, it could only help yourself, as the emotional part. But if we share our experience to other people, we might save someone to get scammed again.

It's not what I was expecting but I like it 

I also recommend listening to it before checking the market or opening your trading accounts.

Playing that funky-ass song will probably just add insult to the injury lmao. Probably the last thing someone who got scammed want to do is to listen to music to dance to.

If you get scammed learned from it and post it in the scam section or create an article on it so you can warned people about this kind of scam, it's part of our experience here in Bitcointalk not that you are careless but you take the risk in investing or going for it, you will learn and you will get an insight on how to be a better investor.

I got scammed twice in just a month and it is indeed devastating. I'm just glad that it wasn't a huge amount but of course I have my regrets. As a saying goes, "One is enough, two is too much, three is dangerous." And I won't let that happen to me the third time.

Anyway, about the song, that was some upbeat music. I don't know if I could dance along with that after such incident but to make things light, might as well listen to it so your mood would shift. Not just sure if it would work for me.

Because bitcoin and crypto transactions are irreversible (except very special cases that should not be expected to happen again), to avoid huge losses or lose all capital, let's follow the rule 1: don't trade with huge amount or all of your capital with anyone else. Next rule, don't forget rule 1.

I checked the link to know what genre it is and yeah it's not my type lmao . I am not a fan of funk music (I'm not actually sure of the genre)

Anyway, listening to a music which relates in your experience is a nice way to cope with it.  Fortunately, in my 3 years of journey inside the crypto sphere I haven't scammed yet (and I hope never will be). Though I joined fraudulent HYIPs and faucets before, I did not include it on the list since I didn't spend even a cent with those platforms. You know! A beginner thing — crazed on trying everything and hoping to earn "free" money without investing hahaha. But honetsly, I considered it as a blessing in disguise tho.

Rather than being sulky and beating yourself up, I'd have this. I guess that's what seoincorporation is trying to say but to each his own.

Pass, rather I would heal my would by writing some warning to others to prevent them from finding themselves in exact or similar situation. Getting scammed is a scenario I wouldn't what others to experience but that's unlikely to happen. I thought I was too careful myself until I became a victim, scammers are constantly looking for new and improved ways to get their hands on your coin and if you're the type that's actively looking for new way to increase your holding, you're vulnerable.

In regards to securing yourself in the investment area, becoming a strong bitcoin believer would scale your through. We have all sort if distractions in the industry that scammers could leverage on to steal your coin but staying focus on bitcoin would do the trick.

Transactions are not reversible but they are transparent, and as has been shown with the recent hack in Twitter the scammers could be tracked down if they leave a trail. Reports suggests that a combination of Bitcoin address information and online chats were used to get the Florida hacker.
These efforts were most likely used because of the scale of the theft, in smaller scams however making it public would warn people of the strategies used and more attention would make it easier to get the perpetrators should they slip up.

You should also learn from your mistakes whether or not you recover your funds to avoid falling victim again.

Bitcoin is not PayPal, of course, but whenever possible it should be approached in a way that protects us as much as possible. Take forum trading, for example, no one can scam anyone if we use escrow - even if it's about Bitcoin transactions. If you are buying something online and paying with BTC and there is no possibility of escrow, then first research the seller and start with a smaller amount.

People get scammed only because they do not know what they are doing, and if they send coins to cloud mining, investments that pay 10% per day on deposit or to some Nigerian prince - then they can only cry and play that song.

You have nothing to do with that, the best option is to deal with it, learn to accept and learn from it.

You should be responsible with your assets and you should not trust anyone that you don't personally know.

Also, don't click any links that are suspicious or visit sites that is not that popular and downloading from unknown source is also risky. Also be aware about those schemes that they use in some popular platforms because recently there are reports about high profile personality in twitter used as a tool for scamming.

You should understand that not all of the rewards/giveaways that you see in a certain website or platform is true and legit. Learn to determine the difference between fraud and legit, scams and real.

I was scammed too when I was selling altcoins with p2p on telegram without using escrow. I trusted that man because he seems knows too much about the project and promise me to send his payment after he is done with this thing. He said to me: I'm currently walking to get home after I get home in an hour I send to you the payment. then after that, he promises me after he is done with his dinner he will surely send me the payment. It goes up to another reason after that he never replied to my message again. My advice to you guys, no matter how the person came to you with a good offer don't send your BTC or altcoin first. use some escrow we have a lot of them here.

If you get scammed in crypto space than forget about it and move on. There is no way you will be able to retrieve those cryptocurrencies.

Also do not fall for websites or individuals who claim that they can get it back for you for a fee. Those websites and individuals are basically again scamming you.

The best thing you can do is to not to fall for Giveaways, Doubling schemes and Investment schemes.

I thought I would be seeing some sort of advise as it's posted in Beginners & Help board but looks like this is a click bait, lol.. thread title is misleading IMO. Thanks for the video anyway, it's my first time to see it, this has over 92k views, so maybe these are the numbers who are interested to know what to do when you get scammed, or people who got scammed already?

bitcoin leassons arent chep at all.

especially if you got scammed a whole bitcoin.

 If you got scammed easily I think you are not good or you are not better on the world of business and investment because this takes a lot of things and secured your self with your funds too. It's better to make a research what are the things we are trying to make an investment or deep dive in.


We have different things should do in terms of making some laylo or healing your selves about something bad and one of these are

• Reading books
• Listening a song
• Watching movies
• Eating and more.

Those are the common things at the end of the day you should learn from your mistakes on getting scammed but still, I think that song given by the OP gives more flashback to all of the investment got because in a single mistake.

Precisely! The only recourse we could do is to take it as a learning experience while at the same time, we must be more vigilant and try to warn others by spreading news about it. Finally, we have to move on no matter how awful that experience maybe.

I expected a detailed article, not a YouTube video.
Getting scammed despite such a long list of escrow agents who offer their services on this forum shouldn't happen. There is even a free escrow service so you don't even have to pay any extra fees, unless you want to tip the guy for protecting your ass.

When it comes to the irreversibly of crypto transactions, there is an Israeli blockchain firm that is working on creating a solution that makes it possible to retrieve wrongly sent crypto transactions. I haven't done any research on their project but it seemed fitting to mention it here since we are talking about Bitcoin not being reversible.

If anyone asks, I am in no way connected to the project, but the idea seems interesting.

The lyrics of the music video is a bit distorted maybe because he wants to stick on a funky music. I hope that you put lyrics on the music video so that it will be understable for people that english is not a native tounge.
Listening to a soothing music really helps people to calm mind and accept what was already done.

The best medicine to overcome your depression is to seek God. He will surely answer you through prayer. I experienced huge loss in my past which at some point, I thought that I want to die because of my foolishness but miracle happened when I find God.
