[Q] Is there any way to beat scam exchange?

[Paxon]

Hello to all,

Year ago, I have traded on polish exchange - coinbe.net. In the middle of transactions, they closed withdraws, only allowed deposits.
All users tried to withdraw money buy without a success. We sent more than 1000 emails - support and coinbe "owner" just lied to us - his story was that they will give us our assets in 2-3 days.

Now after 1 year, I see that they are online again and I searched and found some useful infomations (about that where is webiste located and who is the owner), also I have a lot of proofs (video materials and screenshots about my wallet). Also I have connections with other users - so we have allot of money there.

I just wanted to ask someone to help us, are there any lawyers, police departments or similiar to part of our money back?
Has anyone had a similar situation?

Where are you from op? You can always consult them first to explore your options and chances as this takes up one's time and money with no guaranteed result which is why it's not worth it if it would cost you more than the amount you lost. Try to start looking near your area first and be wary of "I can help you" PMs you might receive because of this post. Since you know ppl who got scammed too, try to bring up class action suit to see if it's a viable option.

You can also spread the word to prevent other users from falling to their scam scheme and to attract further users who might be interested in a possibly class action suit. Better update your post using the scam report format to solidify your accusation and post the same thing in other communities.

I haven't heard any class suit actions against a dubious and scam exchanges. Although I will say that there are  lot of scams of companies claiming to help you out and then will ask you up front payment and then nothing will happen.

And it really depends on your location and the jurisdiction on the exchange themselves. I know there is a Legal board in this community, perhaps you can ask there as well.

There are already many users that tried to file some lawsuits with online exchanges or gambling platforms (any websites that scammed them) and went successful. I don't know nor really remember when I have read it here in scam accusations but it is really possible and you can win the case as long as you have valid evidences.

With regards to the OP, any lawyers would back you up as long as your claims are true and correct. But still, there are a lot of scammers that are much brighter and could win the case if and only if the evidences are purely alone by one person and without any other supporting claims.

Yes of course. Some fake exchangers have been completely sued for this especially if they have been proven to do some money laundering.  I remember bithumb global Korea was rushed by Police last time due to scam token that has been listed on the exchange.

The only thing that bugs me is that about provision or rule on crypto crimes. What if certain country doesnt have that? So how certain guilty can be convicted if he knows that the country his in dont have specifics yet.

Since you already know the location of the exchange do check if there members with the same location of the exchange and you can form a group with members with the same location of that exchange to lead the filing of charges and other members who are in different location can support and  supply all the other information that can win the case, I'm sure the court of that country will also included those outside the country.

or they could've hidden themselves well which makes getting back the money a lot difficult.  Same thing happened in bitconnect which I think is the motivation in suing the third parties (e.g. youtube). There's also the possibility that they can't pay their victims back because they already spent or laundered it. So yeah that's another thing for op to consider, they could win the case but not get their money back or get compensated enough.

In any case it's better to consult with a lawyer first.

I think anything with monetary value should be fine
