Well that, yesterday they scammed me 0.20 btc in binance
A guy by telegram gave me proof hours before the coin that was going to be pumped, which was VIB, which was the admin of BIG PUMP SIGNAL, and I paid him 0.20 btc for the information, and today he has blocked me.
I only have his Btc wallet number and his telegram nothing else.
can I do something reporting it to the police?
Will binance help me identify that person after I have sent the money?
thanks

I guess you could contact Binance Support and give them his information and details about the scam that he's running, but Binance still won't be able to recover your funds. You can also report the group on Telegram to try to shut it down before it scams more people. The main problem with this approach is that the owner can simply create another group and continue with this scam. Never, ever believe in easy money. There's only one part of the deal that ends up gaining money and for sure it isn't the part that is accepting the deal. I'm sorry for your loss OP.

I don't believe so mate. Like you we get reports of another batch of people that are new into the crypto market, or just want to make a quick buck by cheating the system and they all end up following people that offer them exactly what they want to hear. The result? The easy road leads you to a path that takes away your Crypto and just leaves you with empty pockets. I've never heard about Police pursuing individual cases of this kind of victims and actually recover the funds back to the user (especially considering the nature of BTC). In my country there's a saying that could be translated to : "You only fall once in scams. You fall twice only if you want". ("Shaky" translation but the meaning is there).

Chances are the scammer is from some other country, and no one will launch a world-wide investigation over stolen $9,000. You should have done more research, pump and dump groups are a known scam, even without buying signals you would have been scammed, because these groups are just dumping obscure altcoins to naive traders who think that a pump is coming. There's no easy money in crypto.

Most probably not, unless you will report everything to the police, hire a lawyer well-versed in cryptocurrency, file a case in court, and so on and so forth. After all, it is not Binance's fault that you lose your funds. Binance would probably act only in this case if there is a certain court order. But all this entails much money, time, effort, and so on. In other words, this means you will probably have to spend much more than 0.20BTC for your case to prosper.
And how sure are you that the scammer's wallet is from Binance?

Never trust anyone who tells you some stock or currency is going to jump in value to buy in. Never ever believe them. Only invest what you are willing to lose, and don't give anything to someone on the internet unless you're willing to take the risk that they'll run and leave you dry. And only trust people online who have a serious reputation.

You paid $8000 for that information? Consider yourself lucky that the person wasn't actually running a pump-and-dump scheme. You would have lost a lot more than that. As for getting the money back or getting law enforcement involved, I don't think it will be feasible considering how little information you have. Sorry. In my country there's a saying that could be translated to : "You only fall once in scams. You fall twice only if you want". ("Shaky" translation but the meaning is there).
In the U.S., a similar quote is "Fool me once -- shame on you. Fool me twice -- shame on me."

No. Consider this a cheap education about sending money to unknown individuals for empty promises. Perhaps you'll be more careful in the future.

I've been here in this same telegram group as yours. I didn't know that the group isn't a legit one. Or you've been chatted by a random person? Because I think that group was created a long time ago right? Anyways. In that situation I think you must report it to the Binance and I think report also the group in order for you to help others to avoid being scammed. We all know that this kind of action isn't a good one and a bad behaviour. Just because of the BTC value many people are becoming greedy and I think that isn't gonna help them as well as people around them to earn positively. That ain't good and karma will be back at them. Sorry for your loss but be careful next time. I will also leave to that group. Thank you for the warning.

.2 bitcoin if you were to put it in my country's currency is an expensive lesson. I don't get that a lot of people are being lured to this kind of scheme, pretty obvious that they are going to scam you, there is no such thing as signal, they wouldn't share it when they are not going to profit from it. Hopefully, this will be the last time that OP is going to get scammed by someone that provides "signal".

The only thing you can do right now reports them to Binance and post here what they say about your problem because if you guys negotiate in Telegram, I doubt that Binance will take charge of your problem because there's always a warning that you need to be vigilant every time you made some transactions with the other people on the internet because most of them are just crooks and you've just fallen to his trap. Do the necessary action that kind of BTC is hard to earn nowadays.

Not only is this potentially a serious crime which carries jailtime (so you should NOT report to police! This could be considered insider trading), but it's foolish to pay so much for knowledge. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

This kind of scheme has been around for quite a long time now. Don't get easily manipulated by this again. Do your research, and don't act quickly. If their offer is too good to be true, it's just a scam. Don't get swayed on easy money investing. If they tell you there's no risk, do not invest. Try contacting Binance. Probably they can help you track these scammers. Stay alert and always trust your instincts.

Can't track a wallet to see what name it is? Unfortunately, not, at least from your end. Unless perhaps if you are one sophisticated cyber intelligence operative yourself from the CIA or something who could attempt to link that address to its owner's identity. Other than that, if that wallet is indeed from Binance and the owner has undergone KYC, then Binance could do it. But, again, I've said my piece regarding sourcing personal information from them. I'm honestly sorry that you ended up a victim of this crystal clear scam. I'm afraid that at this point it will be very hard to recover what was robbed from you.

And you also have to mention that they are dumb because if they are hoping that it is not a scam is an indicator that you are ignorant of the situation and that is not taking risk, it is more of dumbass move. Why wouldn't you report it to the authorities, even if you feel wrong, that shouldn't be the case because you lost money on it. Apparently people doesn't know when a thing is too good to be true when it is right in front of their eyes.
